Komisi Kepolisian Nasional (National Police Commission)
Kompolnas
Summary
Kompolnas was established under Perpres No. 17/2011 (superseding Perpres No. 17/2005) to support presidential oversight of Polri. Its 9 members comprise 3 government ministers (ex officio), 3 police experts, and 3 community figures appointed and dismissed by the President. Kompolnas may receive public complaints, monitor Polri performance, and make non-binding recommendations; it lacks investigative powers, subpoena authority, or power to directly discipline officers. Reforms proposed in 2025 would upgrade Kompolnas to a binding-authority body, but no new law has been enacted as of mid-2026.
