Jakarta – If I may say briefly at the beginning of this article: ‘East Jakarta can be said to be very fortunate to have Kombes Pol Leonardus Harapantua Simarmata as Kapolrestro.’ This sentence is not mere praise. But that’s the truth.
Kombes Pol Leonardus has officially been listed as the leader of the East Jakarta Metro Police since March 2023. At that time, some journalists from the Capital City were still wondering about this middle-ranking officer who is under the auspices of the Gemini zodiac. Naturally, of course, considering that this figure has never served within the jurisdiction of Polda Metro Jaya.
The position of Kapolres Metro Jakarta Timur is indeed his first position as well as his first assignment as a member of the Polri in the ranks of the Polda Metro. Even so, for the track record of his duties, the position of Kapolres Metro Jakarta Timur is his fourth assignment as Kapolres.
To be honest, the man who was born in Pangkalanbrandan, North Sumatra, May 28, 1973 is indeed one of the top achievers of the Police Chief. Since taking office as Kapolresta Malang in 2019, Kombes Pol Leonardus has spawned various programs and innovations provided to the City of Malang in various ways. One of them is in the form of service.
One of the innovations he brought was the Jogo Malang Program. Joyo Malang is an application that integrates all services owned by each Work Unit at the Malang City Police.
Communities can easily get services only with applications on their respective smartphones. When there is a report or an incident, people don’t have to wait long to come to the Polsek or Polresta, but can turn on the alarm in the application.
Apart from that, in an effort to prevent Covid-19, Kombes Pol Leonardus is also one of the movers at the Malang United Volunteers Against Corono Post which is centered on Jalan Pandan No 5, Malang City.
Together with stakeholders and volunteers, who consist of various groups, he has contributed to developing Kampung Tangguh.
Can Turn Fierce
Apart from being known to be coordinative and humane in his duties, in certain situations, a dropout from the 1997 Wira Pratama Battalion at the Police Academy can also appear firm and fierce. If you still remember, in 2021 there was one incident that could be said to be aimed at cornering him as the Kapolresta Malang.
At that time, a video circulated and went viral on social media about the Kapolresta Malang Kombes Pol Leonardus Simarmata threatening demonstrators.
In the 23-second video, Kombes Pol Leonardus instructs his men to shoot demonstrators in front of the Malang City Police Headquarters.
“Take that decisive action (shoot) earlier,” one of his loud words was heard in the video at that time.
Sat set sat set, the video went viral and seemed to start cornering him. Not feeling bad about doing something troubling, Kombes Pol Leonardus immediately decided to make a clarifying statement.
He said at that time that the video circulating on social media had been edited. There are frames that experience scene cuts so that the recorded events are incomplete. The part of the students who forced their way in is also not visible in the video.
“They forced their way in, that’s what happened. So the video is cut by them. Because they forced their way in, I said no entry. If you enter, there are rules,” said Kombes Pol Leonardus at the time.
As a police chief figure, there are more stories about Kombes Pol Leonardus in Malang City. It’s known, in Paris Van East Java, he served quite a long time from 2019 to 2021.
Previously, while still holding the rank of AKBP, Kombes Pol Leonardus had also been the Kapolres Batu and the Kapolres Mojokerto, all in the Polda Jawa Timur. Also included as Wakapolrestabes Surabaya in 2018.
While serving as Kapolres Batu in 2015, Leo — the officer’s nickname is known to have registered and attended the Doctoral Program in Law Studies at the Faculty of Law, University of Brawijaya class of 2016. This doctoral program was completed within 2 years and 11 months in 2019 with the achievement of the title cum laude or graduate with honors. Not only that. Himself also named as the best graduate student at the UB graduation period IV 2019/2020 academic year.
With all the descriptions that have been presented above, it is worth looking forward to, of course, what kind of work will be made by Kombes Pol Leo in East Jakarta. With a wealth of experience in the field of detectives plus a doctorate and capabilities as a regional head, it is hoped that the atmosphere of Kamtibmas in East Jakarta will be relatively conducive.
Especially now is the Year of Politics which is prone to resistance. A mountain of good wishes is now on his shoulders. And hopefully the mountain of trust can be resolved neatly.
We are sure that the Commander in Chief is able to keep Kamtibmas in East Jakarta very conducive in this Political Year. Greetings, Commander. Bembo
