The Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Asep Edi Suheri, has officially received a promotion, ascending from a two-star general, known as Inspector General (Irjen), to the esteemed rank of a three-star general, or Police Commissioner General (Komjen).
This significant career advancement was proudly announced via the official Instagram account of @poldametrojaya. The post featured warm congratulations from the entire Jakarta Metro Police force, celebrating their leader’s remarkable achievement. Specifically, the Head of Public Relations for the Jakarta Metro Police, along with their dedicated staff, extended their heartfelt wishes, stating: “The Head of Public Relations of the Jakarta Metro Police along with staff and members of the Public Relations Division extend their congratulations and best wishes to Police Commissioner General Asep Edi Suheri, S.I.K., M. Si., on his promotion to a higher rank as Police Commissioner General.”
Intriguingly, the standard rank for a Regional Police Chief (Kapolda) is typically that of an Inspector General (Irjen), a two-star general. However, Komjen Asep Edi Suheri is currently in a unique position, as he continues to serve as the Jakarta Metro Police Chief despite now holding a rank that surpasses the customary requirement for the role.
This unusual situation stems from the fact that no official transfer or reassignment has yet been issued by the National Police Chief (Kapolri) for Komjen Asep. Consequently, he remains at the helm of the Jakarta Metro Police, fulfilling the duties of Kapolda even after his elevation to Police Commissioner General.
