RECRUITMENT PROCESS RECRUITMENT PROCESS

Professionalism for the police is very important to be
improved and strengthened in the context of realizing
public expectations of ideal police figures. The formulation
of the strategy for implementing the standardization of
Polri's professionalism continues to be carried out by the
National Police. This is intended to fulfill the expectations of
the people who need police with a friendly and gentle
 attitude in service and firm in law enforcement can be
achieved. Basic demands that must be fulfilled so that the
professionalism of the Police can be realized can be
started from the recruitment process of good police
members.

To improve the recruitment process of Polri members to be

more qualified, Polri has made substantial and cultural
changes that are manifested in the acceleration of
transformation within the National Police, especially in the
process of receiving members of the National Police by
referring to the basic principles of "BETAH" which stands
for Clean, Transparent, Accountable and Humanist.
