The Indonesian National Police (Polri) is currently conducting a crucial Police Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP) trial today, Thursday, February 19, 2026. This significant proceeding is being held against former Bima Police Chief, AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro, following his alleged possession of a suitcase full of illicit drugs acquired from a dealer. This case underscores the institution’s commitment to upholding integrity within its ranks.
Brigjen Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko, Head of the Public Information Bureau of the National Police Public Relations Division, confirmed that the ethics trial is taking place at the TNCC Building, located within the National Police Headquarters.
Speaking to reporters earlier today, Trunoyudo specified the commencement time for the disciplinary hearing, stating, “The ethics trial is scheduled for 09:00 AM Western Indonesian Time (WIB) at the TNCC Building on Thursday, February 19.”
This disciplinary action follows an earlier statement from Head of the National Police Public Relations Division, Inspector General Johnny Eddizon Isir, who emphasized that this ethics process represents a decisive institutional step taken after AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro was officially named a suspect in the drug case.
During a press conference at the National Police Headquarters on Sunday, February 15, Isir explicitly stated, “AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro (DPK) is currently undergoing a code of ethics process. The ethics trial is scheduled to be held on Thursday, February 19, 2026.”
Isir further underscored the unwavering commitment of the institution by highlighting that National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has issued explicit instructions to all ranks to take stringent action against any police member found to be involved with drugs, without any exception or partiality.
Reaffirming this stance, Isir declared, “Yes, once again, we wish to convey the National Police Chief’s firm commitment to decisive action in law enforcement. There will be zero tolerance, no special treatment, and absolutely no impunity for any individual within the Polri involved in this drug network.” This strong statement reflects the police force’s dedication to eradicating internal corruption related to narcotics.
AKBP Didik Putra has been officially designated a suspect in the significant drug possession case. Alarmingly, he is also suspected of being involved alongside several other Polri members in the very same illicit drug network, suggesting a broader internal issue.
Beyond the ongoing criminal charges he faces, today’s critical ethics trial will ultimately determine the fate of Didik’s membership status within the police force. This includes the potential imposition of the severest sanction: a Dishonorable Discharge (PTDH), which would definitively end his career in law enforcement.
