Central Java Police Clarify Internal Appeal on Prosecutor Summons Procedures

The Central Java Regional Police (Polda Jateng) have clarified a circulating message that advises police personnel against honoring summonses from the prosecutor's office without proper legal accompaniment. The message, which spread across various chat groups, has been confirmed by the Head of Public Relations for Polda Jateng, Commissioner Arianto.

Arianto stated that the message serves as an appeal to all personnel to maintain administrative order and understand legal procedures. It was reportedly issued by the Head of Internal Security within the Professional and Security Division (Kasubbidpaminal Bidpropam) of Polda Jateng, addressed to the Head of Professional and Security Sections and other police personnel.

The circular highlights that many police officials managing nutrition service units (SPPG) have recently received summonses, both verbal and written, from district prosecutor's offices. It outlines 10 points of guidance, including prohibiting attendance at prosecutor summonses without valid procedural accompaniment.

Key directives include coordinating with district prosecutors, conducting interrogations at police resort headquarters (mapolres) with internal oversight from the Professional and Security Division (Bidpropam), and the Inspectorate of Regional Supervision (Itwasda). The circular also mandates reporting any summons received by SPPG managers to the Head of Bidpropam and ensuring public service areas within police stations have CCTV surveillance and visitor registration.

It's actually just an appeal for the ranks.
