Indonesian regency supports mobile police certificate service

The Gunung Mas Regency government in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, is fully backing the local police's innovative mobile service for issuing police clearance certificates (SKCK). The initiative, named "SKCK Gula Madu," utilizes government-provided vehicles to extend services to communities outside the regency capital, Kuala Kurun.

Edison, an assistant for the Gunung Mas Regency Secretariat, announced that the support includes one four-wheeled vehicle and one two-wheeled vehicle. These will facilitate police officers' mobility in serving residents in villages and sub-districts that are geographically distant from the city center. The "SKCK Gula Madu" program, an acronym for "Gunung Mas Serves Upland Communities," was developed after the authority to issue SKCKs was centralized at the Polres (district police headquarters), with Polseks (sub-district police stations) no longer issuing the documents.

Gunung Mas Police Chief AKBP Heru Eko Wibowo explained that the SKCK Gula Madu service is equipped with independent devices and dedicated internet connectivity. This ensures that SKCKs can be issued even in areas with poor or no mobile signal. The service also complies with the Central Kalimantan Police Chief's directive to conduct SKCK applications online via the Super App Presisi.

The Head of the Intelkam Unit of the Gunung Mas Polres, AKP Raden Rachmad Abdul Rahim, detailed that applicants only need to present their ID card (KTP) and family card (KK). The process is swift, taking approximately 15 minutes from document submission. The fee remains the official amount of Rp30,000, in line with non-tax state revenue (PNBP) regulations. The regency government hopes this program serves as a model for synergy between local governments and the police in delivering excellent and equitable public services to all areas.
