The Head of the DKI Jakarta Civil Service Police Unit responded to the workload of its members. He stated that the limited number of personnel is a real condition on the ground.

“The proposal has been submitted,”

He said there is currently an imbalance between the number of personnel and the tasks that must be carried out. In one urban village, the Civil Service Police Unit typically has only 7 to 10 members, even though security and order enforcement occur around the clock.

“With a three-shift system, the number of personnel in each shift becomes very limited, which impacts the high workload that each member must bear,” he said.

He explained that the ideal condition for one urban village requires about 18 to 20 personnel so that the division of work can be more optimal. With that number, each shift can be filled by a sufficient team, preventing excessive workload.

“However, the current condition is still far from that ideal standard,” he said.

Regarding the 35 personnel who died within one year, he stated that this data reflects the factual condition openly presented in a meeting with the DKI Jakarta Regional House of Representatives.

He said that age and health conditions remain factors that cannot be ignored. Currently, some members are even over 45 years old, so attention is needed in managing the workload.

“Indeed, not all are directly linked to the workload, but the shortage of personnel has the potential to worsen the duties of members in the field,” he revealed.

Therefore, he continued, strategic steps are needed to alleviate this burden. He stated that the DKI Jakarta Civil Service Police Unit proposes adding younger personnel as a forward-looking measure.

Currently, the total available personnel is around 5,000, while the ideal need is estimated to exceed 10,000 personnel.

“The proposal has been submitted and is expected to be considered in future discussions,” he concluded.
