Police System in Indonesia

When large parts of Indonesia was under Dutch colonial occupation until the 1940s,
police duties were performed by either military establishments or colonial police known
as the veldpolitie or the field police.
[citation needed]
Japanese occupation during WW
II brought changes when the Japanese formed various armed organizations to support
their war. This had led to the distribution of weapons to military trained youths, which
were largely confiscated from the Dutch armory.
After the Japanese occupation, the national police became an armed organization.
[citation

The Indonesian police was established in 1946, and its units fought in
the Indonesian National Revolution against the invading Dutch forces. The police also
participated in suppressing the 1948 communist revolt in Madiun. In 1966, the police
was brought under the control of Armed Forces Chief. Following the proclamation of
independence, the police played a vital role when they actively supported the peoples
movement to dismantle the Japanese army, and to strengthen the defense of the newly
created Republic of Indonesia. The police were not combatants who were required to
surrender their weapons to the Allied Forces. During the revolution of independence,
the police gradually formed into what is now known as Kepolisian Negara Republik
Indonesia (Polri) or the Indonesian National Police. In 2000, the police force officially
regained its independence and now is separate from the military.
Polri is a centralised national bureaucracy.
[4]
As a national agency it has a large central
headquarters in Jakarta (Markas Besar Polri or Mabes Polri). The regional police
organisation parallels exactly the hierarchy of the Indonesian civic administration, with
provincial police commands (Polisi Daerah or Polda) to cover provinces, district
commands (Polisi Resor or Polres) for districts, sub-district commands (Polsek) and
community police officers or Polmas to service individual villages.
[5]

There is a similar law enforcement force in Indonesia that shares similar duties for the
country with the Indonesian National Police, the law enforcement is known as Civil
Service Police Unit or known in the Indonesian Language as Satpol PP
There are confusing terminological differences between some police commands. This
derives from certain normative features of Indonesian governance. Indonesian political
culture elevates the capital district (ibukota propinsi) of a province from other districts in
the same province, though all have the same functional powers. Similarly, the capital
province of the country (Jakarta), enjoys special normative status over other provinces
though in practice all have the same governmental responsibilities. The Indonesian
police structure continues this by creating a special command for the province of
Jakarta (Polda Metro Jaya), and special commands for capital city districts and cities
(Polisi Kota Besar or Poltabes). Nevertheless, all of Indonesias police district
commands (whether they are a Polres or Poltabes) and all the provincial commands
(whether it is the flagship Polda Metro Jaya or one of the other Poldas) have the same
powers and duties.

Ranks
In the early years, the Polri used European police style ranks
like inspector and commissioner. When the police were amalgamated with the military
structure during the 1960s, the ranks changed to a military style such as Captain, Major
and Colonel. In the year 2000, when the Polri conducted the transition to a fully
independent force out of the armed forces 2000, they use British style police ranks like
Inspector and Superintendent. The Polri have returned to Dutch style ranks just like in
the early years.

Police System in East Timor
The PNTL was established in May 2002 by the United Nations, before sovereignty was
passed to the new state, with a mandate to provide security and maintain law and
order throughout the country, and to enable the rapid development of a credible,
professional and impartial police service. Recruitment drives were conducted in early
2000, and basic training commenced on March 27, 2000, under the auspices of
theUnited Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET). On August 10,
2001, the East Timor Police Service was officially established, working alongside
CivPol, the United Nations Civilian Police Force. It later changed its name to the Timor-
Leste Police Service, before finally adopting its current title of the Policia Nacional de
Timor-Leste.
It was not until independence, on May 20, 2002, that an agreement was signed outlining
the terms and timetable for handing over of full policing duties from CivPol to the PNTL.
The PNTL finally assumed responsibility for the whole country on December 10, 2003.
There are at least three special units within the PNTL: the Police Reserve Unit, formerly
the Rapid Deployment Service; the Border Patrol Unit (Unidade de Patrulhamento de
Fronteiras, UPF); and the Rapid Intervention Unit, or UIR, modelled after
the Portuguese National Republican Guard riot police, which served in East Timor
before its independence

Police System in Philippines
The Philippine National Police (Filipino: Pambansang Pulisya ng Pilipinas and
abbreviated as PNP) is the civilian national police force of the Philippines.
The PNP was formed on January 29, 1991 when the Philippine Constabulary and
the Integrated National Police were merged pursuant to Republic Act 6975, or the
Department of the Interior and Local Government Act of 1990.
[1]
It is part of
the Department of the Interior and Local Government. Its national headquarters is
at Camp Crame in Quezon City, Metro Manila, and it has 140,000 personnel.
It is administered and controlled by the National Police Commission.
Passed on December 13, 1990, the Republic Act No. 6975, the Department of the
Interior and Local Government Act of 1990, ended the existence of the Philippine
Constabulary and the Integrated National Police and gave way to the creation of the
Philippine National Police. R.A. 6975 was further amended by RA 8551, the Philippine
National Police Reform and Reorganization Act of 1998, and by RA 9708. The R.A.
8551 envisioned the PNP to be a community and service oriented Agency.

Recruitment and training

Two members of the PNP rappel down a tower during a joint U.S.-AFP-PNP Subject
Matter Expert Exchange (SMEE).
The PNP conducts regular recruitment programs, depending on the annual budget. The
entry level for non-commissioned officers is the rank of Police Officer 1 or PO1. The
new recruits will undergo Public Safety Basic Recruit Course for six months, and a Field
Training Program for another six months. Prior for their actual duty, they are required to
undergo the mandatory special training of PNP SCOUT or PNP Special Counter-
insurgency Unit Training course for 45 days to 5 months to enhance them in
militaristic/tactics for future assignment in the field whether in the Striking Force or in the
Police Station.
Commissioned officers for the Philippine National Police are from the Philippine
National Police Academy as well as through "lateral entry" for specialized disciplines
and requirements such as criminologists in line-officers, lawyers, doctors, engineers,
nurse, chaplain and other technical positions and also the rose-from-the-rank personnel
who have reached the qualifications to be a commissioned officer.
