  • The Central Jakarta Police Chief visited the Central Jakarta District Attorney's Office to strengthen legal enforcement synergy.
  • The visit occurred shortly after a corruption case involving a former Deputy Attorney General for Specific Crimes.
  • Both police and prosecutors emphasized that good communication and coordination are vital for professional, swift, and accurate law enforcement.

The Central Jakarta Police Chief, Commissioner General Reynold E.P. Hutagalung, visited the Central Jakarta District Attorney's Office on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, to bolster synergy in law enforcement. This meeting took place not long after the controversy surrounding a corruption case that implicated Febrie Adriansyah, the former Junior Attorney General for Specific Crimes.

Commissioner General Reynold asserted that the visit's objective was to enhance collaboration between the two institutions. "Good communication and coordination will make the law enforcement process more professional, fast, and precise," Reynold stated. He added that synergy not only facilitates the handling of cases but also helps maintain public order and security, thereby increasing public trust in law enforcement institutions.

This visit follows a meeting between National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo and Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin at the Attorney General's Office on Monday, July 12, 2026. During that meeting, General Listyo downplayed any institutional rivalry, referring to Burhanuddin as a "senior mentor" and assuring that the relationship between the police and the prosecutor's office was strong. He stressed the importance of their cooperation in overseeing the implementation of government programs.

Attorney General Burhanuddin echoed these sentiments, denying any competition between the two institutions and calling the police "friends." He also clarified that the meeting was a routine act of strengthening ties and not a response to the police naming Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect in a corruption case. "Don't think that because of something that happened yesterday, this is just a regular gathering," he remarked.
