Dr. Petrus R. Golose, launched the Drug-Free Campus or 'Bersinar' Campus. The launch of the first Bersinar Campus in Kalimantan is an effort to reduce drug use, especially among students. The event took place at Prof. Dr. H. Masjaya., M.Sc, Sambaliung Street, Gunung Kelua Campus, Samarinda City on Wednesday, (09/11). Awards were presented for Drug Prevention, Combating Drug Abuse, and Eradicating Illicit Drug Circulation (P4GN) 'War on Drugs,' and a Joint Commitment Signing for the Bersinar Campus.
In the Lecturer Theatre, the Head of BNN RI gave a public lecture entitled 'Towards a Bright Indonesia through Character Education against Drugs, in Anticipation of the Capital City (IKN).' Commissioner Petrus is optimistic about reducing drug use, making Kalimantan Timur (Kaltim) truly shine. He also encouraged students to fight drug abuse and illicit drug circulation. 'Together, we pledge to wage war against drugs. In Kaltim, there are still many areas prone to drugs, and we are launching the Bersinar Campus in collaboration with universities. Hopefully, we can reduce drug circulation, especially the methamphetamine issue,' he said.
The most commonly used drug in Kaltim is methamphetamine. However, he believes that it can reduce drug abuse and illicit drug circulation with collective commitment. The Rector of UNMUL, Dr. Ir. H. Abdunnur., M.Sc, stated that this activity is crucial, and the academic community of UNMUL will implement the BNN's drug-fighting program. Through this program, UNMUL will protect and cultivate human resources, including students in their productive phase, to keep them free from drugs. 'Therefore, today, we will make a joint commitment in Kalimantan Timur against drugs. Our cooperation, especially by higher education institutions, plays a significant role in the fight against drugs. Higher education institutions can build and cultivate the nation's cadres through the War on Drugs program,' he concluded. He also emphasized that universities must protect the students who represent Indonesia's future from the influence of drugs. 'Certainly, this can be realized by working together with other campuses to ensure that the commitment to being drug-free is truly achieved,' said the Rector in his address.
UNMUL, he added, is ready to oversee various programs and policies of BNN RI that have been implemented in the region. It is not only partial, and he hopes that the fight against drugs will be synergized collectively, possibly even included in the higher education curriculum. Due to the high enthusiasm of the participants in this public lecture, the organizers provided six online-connected classrooms to the main event room via video conference. This activity was also live-streamed on the UNMUL TV YouTube channel." }, "3": { "title": "BNN Educates on Drug Dangers at Kalteng Trade Expo 2018", "content": "MMCKalteng - The National Narcotics Agency (BNN) of Central Kalimantan Province participated in the Kalteng Trade Expo 2018 at the Temanggung Tilung Exhibition Area. The stand, located not far from the main entrance, provided education about drugs to visiting expo attendees. Indonesia is currently in a very concerning phase of drug abuse and circulation. The high rate of drug abuse is one of the main reasons for Indonesia's current situation. Drug-related crimes are serious offenses with social consequences.
Expo visitors who stopped by the BNN stand were given education about the dangers of drugs, and the exhibition displayed various types of illegal drugs that should be avoided, especially by young people.
In addition to education, BNN also provided information about the Rehabilitation Procedure. Dr. Valencia, in the Rehabilitation Department of BNN Kalteng, stated, 'The key to drug rehabilitation is to do it as soon as possible. For this, a psychiatrist or addiction specialist is needed to address drug addiction problems,' as she explained to the MMC team.
Currently, BNN has a Large Rehabilitation Center, also known as the Unitra Campus, located in Lido, Bogor. It serves as a reference for therapy and rehabilitation for victims of drug abuse.

The first signing was conducted by KASN's Vice Chairman, Tasdik Kinanto, and BNN's Deputy for Community Empowerment, Tagam Sinaga, regarding Drug Testing for Civil Servants in Government Institutions. Subsequently, the second signing was conducted by KASN's Vice Chairman with BNN's Deputy Director of Advocacy for the Prevention of Drug Abuse and Narcotic and Precursor Drug Circulation for Civil Servants.
Tasdik mentioned that in carrying out their role as an institution overseeing the application of basic values, ethics, and behavior codes for civil servants, KASN has received various reports regarding drug abuse by civil servants. If left unaddressed, these violations could lead to a decline in the quality of public services.
'The profession of civil servants is a noble one, where every employee serves the public and implements government policies. This function cannot be optimally fulfilled if civil servants become addicted to drug abuse. Performance will decline, integrity will be tainted, and the surrounding environment will be damaged,' Tasdik explained.
Therefore, KASN sees the need to take strategic steps to collaborate with BNN in preventing drug abuse among civil servants. Through this collaboration, it is hoped that there will be practical preventive actions, including:
Sharing knowledge to strengthen the capacities of both institutions, especially regarding drug abuse, to KASN and the merit-based management of civil servants to BNN.
Conducting drug prevention outreach to government agencies at the central and regional levels to raise awareness among agencies and civil servants to shield themselves from drug abuse issues.
Coordinating with government agency leaders to monitor disciplinary efforts against civil servants proven to be involved in drug abuse.
In specific circumstances, KASN and regional BNN offices can conduct unannounced drug testing as an effort to enhance oversight of the basic values, ethics, and behavior codes of civil servants.
'We hope that during the implementation of this cooperation agreement, coordination between KASN and the Deputy for Community Empowerment and the Deputy for Prevention at BNN can proceed simultaneously so that the cooperation runs effectively and has a significant impact on the realization of a drug-free civil servant environment,' said KASN's Vice Chairman.
Meanwhile, Tagam Sinaga, Deputy for Community Empowerment at BNN, stated that the collaboration with KASN is a strategic step in the face of an increasing prevalence of drug use in Indonesia in 2021. In 2019, the prevalence of drug users in Indonesia was 1.80 percent, equivalent to 3.41 million people, while in 2021, it increased to 1.95 percent, equivalent to 3.66 million people.
'The collaboration between BNN and KASN, in this case, involves efforts to prevent drug abuse by intensively disseminating information about the Prevention and Eradication of Drug Abuse and Narcotic and Precursor Drug Circulation (P4GN), both internally and externally,' explained Tagam.
Tagam hopes that the cooperation between BNN and KASN will continue consistently, with the aim of realizing a drug-free Indonesia.

Head of the Human Resources and Organization Bureau, Rahmad Budiaji, stated that this program is a mandate for all Ministries and Institutions, as stipulated in Presidential Instruction Number 2 of 2020.
'In addition to the regulation, the sociological conditions now are more serious. The urgency of drug abuse issues compared to other issues. So, we need regular awareness programs and random sampling of DPR Secretariat employees. The hope is that every employee not only understands the dangers of drugs but also their prevention,' said Aji, his nickname, after participating in the awareness program at the Nusantara Building, Senayan, Jakarta, on Monday (30/11/2020).
This awareness program was attended by 124 civil servants within the DPR Secretariat RI. Participants were then required to undergo urine tests. This annual activity is expected to target all civil servants within the DPR Secretariat. 'In the future, the method and targets are expected to include 100% participation in awareness programs and urine tests,' he added.
In the future, Aji said that they will appoint a task force and volunteers to combat drug abuse within the DPR Secretariat. This task force will coordinate with the Police and BNN, so that cases of drug abuse among civil servants or public servants do not recur. 'Previously, we had cases where public servants were terminated due to drug use,' said Aji.
In 2019, the number of drug abusers in Indonesia increased to over 3.6 million people. Agus Yulianto Danardono, the Head of Eradication at the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), revealed that the rate of drug abuse among public servants has exceeded 2%. Regionally, there are 164 areas that are vulnerable to drug smuggling.
'Drug abuse cases are divided into two categories: users and dealers or mafias. Both have different penalties. Specifically, for users, they must undergo rehabilitation, and BNN provides that program for free. But if someone is a dealer, Law Number 35 of 2009 clearly states that the punishment is the death penalty,' emphasized Agus.
The awareness program conducted by BNN is fundamentally part of drug abuse prevention efforts. Agus explained that if someone is found to be positive for drug use in the urine tests, they will be referred to BNN for assessment. After assessment and proven drug abuse, they will undergo rehabilitation. 'If civil servants are involved in drug networks, they will automatically be terminated,' he added.
Many motives underlie drug abuse, not excluding within the civil service or public service environment. 'It may be due to work pressure, family background, environment, and associations, which can influence this. Therefore, internal supervision is essential to monitor, prevent, and control colleagues so they are not exposed to the dangers of drugs,' concluded Agus.

Visit to Tanjung Uma Village

Prior to BNN's program, meeting the people in Tanjung Uma was very risky, so at that time, when meeting the people there, they were invited to meet outside and offered food or coffee to facilitate communication. Tanjung Uma is a coastal area near the sea, directly bordering the neighboring country of Singapore. The people of Tanjung Uma consist of Malay and Flores ethnic groups. The livelihood of Tanjung Uma's male residents is predominantly as fishermen.

According to information, the reasons for drug abuse and drug trafficking in Tanjung Uma are as follows: 1. Economic problems, environmental support. 2. Many users are motorcycle taxi drivers or fishermen. 3. The education system in the environment is not strong in maintaining morals, with only a Quranic Education Park (TPQ) available. 4. There are husbands and wives who are both users and dealers. 5. There is no drug patrol or raid in the community. 6. The community is heterogeneous with many ethnic groups in Tanjung Uma. 7. Children become informants, monitoring the presence of law enforcement. 8. Stilt houses directly lead to the sea, serving as entry points for the smuggling or escape of goods.

The Directorate of Alternative Empowerment of BNN has intervened in P4GN in Tanjung Uma Village through several stages of activities, culminating in life skill entrepreneurship training with various materials, including: 1. Making Fish Atom Crackers 2. Making Tuna Fish Crackers 3. Making Fish Floss 4. Making Tuna Fish Abon 5. Making Mackerel Crackers 6. Making Tekwan 7. Making Squid Crackers 8. Making Shrimp Crackers 9.

Visit to Tanjung Riau Village

Economic activities of the people of Tanjung Riau: The residents' jobs are dominated by private employees and industrial laborers in the Batam area. The population: 30 thousand households, and the area of this village is 23.90 square kilometers. Security conditions: relatively safe because the majority of the population is Malay, characterized by their non-aggressive nature. Security disturbances in the Tanjung Riau Village area: In Tanjung Riau Village, there are entertainment places, and temporary residents who stay for seasonal work, residing in rented boarding houses and rentals.

Drug Problems: Drug abuse in Tanjung Riau Village is mostly carried out by newcomers and they are usually couriers, drug users/addicts. The reasons for drug problems include an increase in nightlife entertainment places and an increasing number of migrant workers.

Drug Distribution Modes and Actors: The drug distribution mode from illegal harbor routes is mostly done because each house has access to water since the houses are built above the water, providing easy access for speedboats to enter and exit the islands and the national borders. Law enforcement at the border entry and exit is not yet fully effective.

Entrepreneurship Training by BNN: Culinary training for making dim sum and fish crackers is currently running and profitable since they already have local customers. The main challenges are capital and relatively high raw material prices.

The 'PRG' maritime operation began on January 1 until February 24, 2023, lasting for 55 days, covering the waters off the south of Java and its surroundings. Rasta signifies loyal individuals, and the Joint Rasta Patrol (PRG) is a maritime patrol aimed at combatting the illicit narcotics trade by individuals loyal to the Republic of Indonesia, working collaboratively. BNN RI and related stakeholders remain committed to accelerating the 'War on Drugs' in 2023 through a hard power approach, conducting maritime operations in the waters south of Java. This maritime operation is intended to reduce the supply of narcotics entering Indonesia through sea routes. It is well known that 95% of narcotics entering Indonesia use sea routes, thus requiring a comprehensive strategy for addressing the issue. During the 'PRG' maritime operation in 2023, the joint team of BNN RI and the Customs and Excise successfully uncovered one (1) case of illicit trafficking of Shabu, involving a total of 8 (eight) foreign nationals from Iran.
The eight perpetrators are part of the international narcotics network known as the Golden Crescent, which spans Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. The authorities confiscated a total of 309 packages of Shabu, weighing 309 kilograms as evidence.
The chronology of uncovering this international narcotics network between Iran and Indonesia began in January 2023 when BNN RI received international cooperation information about the smuggling of Shabu, which was observed to be moving from Iran towards the waters south of Java. Based on this information, the joint team of BNN and Customs and Excise initiated an investigation and pursuit of the vessel suspected of carrying Shabu. The activities were as follows:

After a thorough search, 8 Iranian foreign nationals were found on board, but no narcotics evidence was discovered on the vessel.
  4. After assessing the condition of the target vessel and the team members, it was decided on Tuesday, February 21, 2023, at 04:30 WIB to proceed with the interception using ship BC 7002 in the waters near Panaitan Island, Banten.
  5. On Wednesday, February 22, 2023, at 10:00 WIB, the interception team met and escorted the vessel, arriving at the Merak, Banten, dock at 19:44 WIB, where an initial inspection was conducted. However, no suspected narcotics evidence of Shabu was found.
  6. On Thursday, February 23, 2023, at 08:00 WIB, a more thorough inspection was conducted, involving K-9 units from BNN RI and Customs and Excise. Around 14:00 WIB, narcotics evidence, suspected to be Shabu, was found stored below the fuel tank, near the vessel's engine room.

Today's event was attended directly by the Chief of the Indonesian National Police, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo. In his speech, the National Police Chief congratulated the entire ranks of the National Police, especially Polda Metro Jaya and Polres Jakarta Pusat, who have worked together to uncover the syndicate network of the Middle East-Indonesia with fantastic evidence.
According to the National Police Chief, the disclosure of this case is part of the National Police's commitment to combating Transnational Organized Crime (TOC). Previously, the National Police also successfully uncovered a similar network from the Middle East, from January to April 2021, with evidence weighing 2.5 tons of methamphetamine.
In today's press conference, the National Police Chief explained that all the evidence presented was obtained from four different locations. The series of disclosures took place throughout May and June 2021. In the first location, Gunung Sindur Bogor, the officers confiscated 393 kg of methamphetamine from the suspect with the initials NR and HA. The second location was Ruko Pasar Modern Bekasi, where the officers seized 511 kg of methamphetamine from the suspects with initials NW, CSN (Nigerian citizen), and UCN (Nigerian citizen).

Lampung Province Ranked 3rd in Drug-Prone Areas
Commissioner General Pol. Prof. Dr. Petrus Reinhard Golose stated that there are 8,002 drug-prone areas categorized as alert and dangerous throughout Indonesia.
Among them, Lampung ranks third with 874 drug-prone areas, following East Java and North Sumatra. This number is significant and warrants attention.
He mentioned that Lampung is a favorite transit point for the illicit drug trade.
Lampung serves as a transit point, so many disclosures occur in Lampung rather than being a distribution point. Lampung serves as a route for narcotics, especially marijuana from Aceh and crystal meth from Myanmar, as well as the Golden Crescent,\" he explained.
Therefore, he visited Lampung Province to enhance resilience and resistance.
\"So, our institution, BNN, is the leading institution for drug mitigation, but we always work together, especially with local governments, and, of course, the police and the military. With these activities, we hope to minimize the illicit drug trade,\" he added.
Petrus explained that Lampung also garnered the attention of the President of Indonesia due to its ranking as the 3rd most drug-prone area.
\"This activity is a follow-up to my role as the Head of BNN, working together to mobilize all potential of the community. BNN cannot deal with all the issues alone and requires the support of local governments and stakeholders,\" he emphasized.
He revealed that there are several ways in which drug users can get entangled in narcotics, including through friendships with invitations or drug use experimentation.
\"Initially, users or abusers are given drugs for free, and over time, they become addicted and dependent,\" he concluded.

The Head of BNN, Petrus R Golose, mentioned that BNN has used a strategy called the hard power approach to combat narcotics. BNN has taken a tough approach to eradicate drug abuse.
“Throughout 2022, we have fought against drug syndicates,” he said during a year-end press conference in Jakarta yesterday.
Petrus stated that BNN has uncovered 49 networks. The breakdown includes 26 national networks and 23 international networks.
From all of these networks, BNN has revealed 768 drug-related crimes, with 1,209 suspects.
In addition, BNN has also uncovered two clandestine laboratory precursor drug cases, involving five suspects.
“From all these drug cases, we have seized a lot of evidence,” he said.
Petrus mentioned that the three largest pieces of evidence seized were nearly 2,000 kilograms of methamphetamine, specifically 1,902 tons.
Then, 1.06 tons of marijuana, 262,789 ecstasy tablets, and 16.5 kilograms of powdered ecstasy.
Additionally, BNN has destroyed 152.8 tons of wet marijuana on narcotics plantations and 63.9 hectares of marijuana fields.
According to him, the evidence seized has significantly contributed to saving the nation's children. It is unimaginable what would have happened if tons of narcotics had circulated among the population.He explained that the efforts to combat drug syndicates are always followed by the disclosure of other criminal acts committed by the perpetrators, namely money laundering. The aim is to impoverish the drug dealers.The spirit of the war against drugs, 'War On Drugs,' continues to be promoted by the National Narcotics Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BNN RI).
In the destruction of these marijuana plantations, seven generals, under the leadership of the Deputy for Eradication of BNN RI, Inspector General Pol Drs.

Heru Pranoto, M.Si.
The rediscovery of marijuana plantations in the Aceh region by the Narcotics Directorate of the BNN Eradication Deputy is tangible evidence of BNN's consistency in eradicating drug trafficking in Indonesia.
\"This discovery also provides concrete evidence of collaboration between BNN and the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) as well as the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG), which has been ongoing,\" he said.
The expansive marijuana plantations successfully discovered are divided into two locations. One location of marijuana plantation is situated at an elevation of 238 meters above sea level (MDPL) with an area of 2.5 hectares. The number of marijuana plants at the first location amounts to 12,000 plants, with plant heights ranging from 2 to 3 meters. At the first location, 1,000 marijuana seedlings ready for cultivation were also found.
Meanwhile, at the second location, the marijuana plantation covers an area of 4.5 hectares. It is located at an elevation of 291 MDPL, and the number of plants destroyed at the second location reaches 24,000 plants. The height of the plants varies from 1.5 to 2.5 meters.
As a result, the total area of the two marijuana plantations that have been destroyed amounts to 7 hectares, with a total of 36,000 plants and a wet plant weight of 17.5 tons.
A total of 140 troops were deployed, consisting of personnel from the Regional Police (Polda), Mobile Brigade (Brimob), Military District Command (Kodim), District Police (Polres), and BNN Aceh Province.
Prior to the destruction, the BNN Laboratory Team conducted rapid drug testing, with the sample test results indicating the presence of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
The discovery of the marijuana plantations is an extension of the case involving 200 kg of marijuana in the Pidie region last mid-September, with one suspect identified as 'N.'
The involvement of several government institutions in the destruction of the marijuana plantations is an implementation of Presidential Instruction Number 2 of 2020 concerning the National Action Plan for the Prevention and Eradication of Drug Abuse and Illicit Drug Trafficking in Indonesia.

Golose also stated that the crystal meth, which originated from Myanmar, is of super laboratory production. This is because, according to him, the seized crystal meth has good packaging and quality.
\"It is believed with certainty that this crystal meth comes from a superlab, not just a simple kitchen laboratory or clandestine laboratory. With quality like this, packaging, and so on, this is truly from a transnational organized crime that we need to face together,\" he said.
Furthermore, Golose explained that the first case occurred in the coastal area of Laweung, Muara Tiga, Pidie Regency, Aceh Province.
A joint team consisting of the Aceh Provincial Customs and Excise, BNN Aceh Provincial, and BNN Pidie City conducted a search for nearly two weeks, ultimately arresting three suspects on Monday, June 19, 2023. The three suspects, identified as HE, R, and MF, were caught transporting crystal meth from the waters of Langkawi, Malaysia to Indonesian waters via the Laweung beach route in Aceh using an oskadon-type ship. They were apprehended as they were about to leave the Laweung beach coast in Aceh.
\"The suspects admitted to the officers that they had handed over the evidence to three men identified as BUL (wanted), RAH (wanted), and BIR (wanted) at the edge of Kuala Laweung Beach,\" Golose said.

Aside from the hard power approach, Golose said that BNN RI, as a leading institution in drug problem mitigation, employs a comprehensive strategy that includes soft power approach, smart power approach, and cooperation.
\"The soft power approach involves preventive activities to enhance public resistance and resilience to the dangers of drugs through information dissemination, education, advocacy, and community empowerment,\" he said.
Furthermore, this approach includes improving the accessibility and acceptability of drug addict rehabilitation services for recovery from addiction.
Implementation of this strategy is carried out through various programs, including the Shining Village (drug-free) program in 414 villages/neighborhoods, the Shining School program in 1,740 schools, the Shining Campus program in 340 higher education institutions, and the Shining Prison program in 175 correctional facilities, as well as anti-drug family resilience for 1,040 families.

The first signing was conducted by KASN's Vice Chairman, Tasdik Kinanto, and BNN's Deputy for Community Empowerment, Tagam Sinaga, regarding Drug Testing for Civil Servants in Government Institutions. Subsequently, the second signing was conducted by KASN's Vice Chairman with BNN's Deputy Director of Advocacy for the Prevention of Drug Abuse and Narcotic and Precursor Drug Circulation for Civil Servants.
Tasdik mentioned that in carrying out their role as an institution overseeing the application of basic values, ethics, and behavior codes for civil servants, KASN has received various reports regarding drug abuse by civil servants. If left unaddressed, these violations could lead to a decline in the quality of public services.
'The profession of civil servants is a noble one, where every employee serves the public and implements government policies. This function cannot be optimally fulfilled if civil servants become addicted to drug abuse. Performance will decline, integrity will be tainted, and the surrounding environment will be damaged,' Tasdik explained.
Therefore, KASN sees the need to take strategic steps to collaborate with BNN in preventing drug abuse among civil servants. Through this collaboration, it is hoped that there will be practical preventive actions, including:
Sharing knowledge to strengthen the capacities of both institutions, especially regarding drug abuse, to KASN and the merit-based management of civil servants to BNN.
Conducting drug prevention outreach to government agencies at the central and regional levels to raise awareness among agencies and civil servants to shield themselves from drug abuse issues.
Coordinating with government agency leaders to monitor disciplinary efforts against civil servants proven to be involved in drug abuse.
In specific circumstances, KASN and regional BNN offices can conduct unannounced drug testing as an effort to enhance oversight of the basic values, ethics, and behavior codes of civil servants.
'We hope that during the implementation of this cooperation agreement, coordination between KASN and the Deputy for Community Empowerment and the Deputy for Prevention at BNN can proceed simultaneously so that the cooperation runs effectively and has a significant impact on the realization of a drug-free civil servant environment,' said KASN's Vice Chairman.
Meanwhile, Tagam Sinaga, Deputy for Community Empowerment at BNN, stated that the collaboration with KASN is a strategic step in the face of an increasing prevalence of drug use in Indonesia in 2021. In 2019, the prevalence of drug users in Indonesia was 1.80 percent, equivalent to 3.41 million people, while in 2021, it increased to 1.95 percent, equivalent to 3.66 million people.
'The collaboration between BNN and KASN, in this case, involves efforts to prevent drug abuse by intensively disseminating information about the Prevention and Eradication of Drug Abuse and Narcotic and Precursor Drug Circulation (P4GN), both internally and externally,' explained Tagam.
Tagam hopes that the cooperation between BNN and KASN will continue consistently, with the aim of realizing a drug-free Indonesia.

One of these activities is the BNN Run 2023, which took place at Monkey Forest, Ubud, Gianyar, Bali, on Sunday, July 30, 2023.
As part of prevention efforts, BNN emphasizes the importance of promoting positive activities, such as sports, to create happiness without the need for drug abuse.
'Through these positive activities, we can prevent abuse, like trying drugs. This message must be repeated continuously and not ignored,' said Petrus Golose on Sunday, July 30, 2023.
As part of the commemoration of Indonesian Anti-Narcotics Day (HANI), Petrus Golose mentioned that the BNN Run 2023, with the theme 'Running Against Drugs' in Bali, is the highlight of BNN's activities. The event was attended by 1,500 participants from both domestic and international locations, including Peru, the United States, Kenya, France, and Russia.
Petrus Golose also highlighted drug abuse in Indonesia, mentioning that Bali is among the 20 provinces in Indonesia with the highest drug abuse rates.
'Until July, the majority of female inmates in correctional facilities had higher drug abuse cases than other criminal cases,' he explained.
Furthermore, Petrus Golose stated that approximately 50% of criminal cases in Indonesia are related to narcotics. Therefore, all parties must work together to address this issue.
'This is my responsibility as the Head of BNN, the stakeholders, and everyone,' he emphasized.
Golose also cautioned against the circulation of new illicit drugs such as ventalin, which are circulating in the United States and have entered Southeast Asia, including Myanmar. These drugs are packaged in pharmaceutical form, and many people misuse them.
'The situation is similar to what happened in the United States with ventalin. BNN has initiated rehabilitation efforts, but the misused drugs are different. We continue to monitor this.

Collaborating with Parahyangan Catholic University and the Bandung Choral Society (BCS), BNN RI organized a choir competition called the Bandung Choral Festival (BCF) with the main target being students and university students.
This competition, which carries the theme 'Sing Against Drugs,' took place over 4 days from March 28 to March 31, 2022, at the Arntz-Geise UNPAR Central Learning Center Auditorium. A total of 50 choir teams were prepared to compete and vie for prizes worth a total of Rp 150 million.
UNPAR Rector Mangadar Situmorang, Ph.D., expressed his appreciation for BNN's efforts over the past 20 years in combating drug abuse. As is known, BCF 2022 is part of the series of activities commemorating the 20th anniversary of BNN RI.
'BNN always shows its concern for a clean, drug-free environment. I appreciate the organization of BCF; BNN is nurturing great talents through this competition. Combating drug abuse through the beauty of singing is a brilliant idea and deserves great appreciation,' said the Rector.
The Rector also expressed his gratitude because BNN chose UNPAR as the host for the competition, which is not just about competing but also carries a unique message for higher education institutions that not everyone is immune to the temptation of drug abuse. Creating a drug-free campus is a tangible effort that UNPAR, along with other universities in the Artipena network (Alliance of University Volunteers Against Drug Abuse), is committed to.
'This is a message for UNPAR to truly be free from drug abuse. We hope that other university leaders in West Java also accept this as a shared message to ensure that universities in West Java are free from drugs,' he added.

The Head of BNN RI, Commissioner General Pol. Petrus Reinhard Golose, in Badung, Bali, on Monday night, mentioned the importance of this focus. Based on the UNODC World Drug Report 2022, the number of drug users worldwide is 284 million people aged 15-64 years.
'This number is spread almost all over the world, dominated by the productive-age younger generation, who often face negative stigmas and discrimination, resulting in health and social problems that are difficult to recover from,' he said during the commemoration of International Anti-Narcotics Day (HANI) at the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park in Badung.
According to the former Chief of the Bali Regional Police, the situation is worsened by the fact that only 20% of drug users receive rehabilitation services, making it a global concern that requires serious attention from all parties.
Therefore, Golose said the theme of HANI 2023 is vital for Indonesia to focus on prevention and the elimination of stigma for drug users, under the motto 'People First: Stop Stigma and Discrimination, Strengthen Prevention.' Furthermore, Indonesia has been chosen as a member of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) for the 2024-2027 period.
Golose stated that this leadership role is an international commitment in the field of narcotics control, where Indonesia has the right to contribute its voice to shaping narcotics control policies on the international stage.
Additionally, BNN RI will host the 45th meeting of the Heads of National Drug Law Enforcement Agencies, Asia and the Pacific (HONLAP) in Bali. HONLAP is a meeting aimed at identifying prominent policy and law enforcement issues in the Asia-Pacific region.
He mentioned that BNN RI, as a leading institution in the fight against drug problems, employs comprehensive strategies, including soft power approaches, hard power approaches, smart power approaches, and cooperation. These approaches have had a significant impact on international cooperation in narcotics control.
In support of the optimization of strategy achievements in the narcotics field, BNN RI continuously develops the competence of human resources through international cooperation, including partnerships with the Australian Federal Police (AFP), Australian Border Force (ABF), United States Drug Enforcement Administration (US DEA), Ilea Narcotic Investigations Course Thailand, and others.

According to Yunis Farida Oktoris, in the context of drug abuse prevention, they emphasize strengthening community groups through the family environment. Additionally, BNN, along with the government, continues to establish Drug-Free Villages (Bersinar Villages) across Indonesia to prevent and combat the illicit distribution of narcotics.
'In this narcotics emergency, we conduct P4GN - Prevention, Combating Drug Abuse, and Prevention of the Illicit Distribution of Narcotics. On the prevention front, one of the aspects that need strengthening is the smallest community groups through families that are organized in villages and urban areas. We encourage them to carry out activities to create drug-free villages,' said Yunis Farida.

The Musren BNN activity in the Magelang Regency holds philosophical significance, aiming for BNN RI personnel to reflect on the values of life conveyed by the presence of Borobudur Temple, an ancestral masterpiece of the Indonesian archipelago. The reliefs on Borobudur represent the depiction of the universe with stages of human life, from Kamadhatu, Rupadhatu, to Arupadhatu, indicating the highest level of perfection.
Therefore, BNN RI is committed to improving its performance, even in the face of various challenges, in their mission to protect and save the nation's youth from the dangers of narcotics. Dr. Golose said, \"This moral message is highly relevant and contextual to our role and responsibilities in the battle against narcotics, with the acceleration of the war on drugs.\"
He also mentioned that this event is one of BNN RI's contributions to the effort to revive the national economy after the government lifted the PPKM policy due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Golose added that they had successfully identified as many as 91 new types of narcotics, also known as new psychoactive substances (NPS), that had entered Indonesian territory. He explained that new types of narcotics constantly emerge, with approximately 1,150 of them existing worldwide. Out of these, around 91 types have been detected in Indonesia, including a substance called \"tembakau gorilla.\" Additionally, there are about nine types not covered by the current laws.
To prevent the spread of narcotics in Indonesia, BNN RI collaborates with various stakeholders to monitor the development of these new types of narcotics. Golose mentioned that many of these narcotics originate from the \"golden triangle,\" necessitating cooperation with other countries and stakeholders.
In 2022, BNN RI successfully uncovered a case involving the shipment of 3.3 tons of methamphetamine in a single month. Throughout 2022, they managed to seize around 1,902 tons of methamphetamine in total. They also destroyed many cannabis (marijuana) plantations and made numerous arrests. This resulted in saving approximately 1.2 million users, given a prevalence rate of 3.36 million users, with an average of one-time drug use per year.

The construction of a new elevator, named Prawira Rukti Gamadi, meaning \"brave in maintaining the journey,\" was initiated due to the concern of the Head of BNN about the limited elevator facilities in the BNN building. This limitation made it difficult to implement social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The workshop was opened by Inspector III Ittama BNN, Mangaradja S. Hutagaol, Ak., M.M., CA, CFrA, CRMO. The speakers for the workshop also served as the APIP Function Mentor from the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP), represented by Fandya R. Hakim.
The implementation of corporate governance is closely tied to the goals of an organization. Therefore, the approach to implementing governance in each organization can vary depending on the specific goals of that organization. Different approaches to governance implementation in a region can also occur among the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP), especially given the differences in capacity and capabilities among APIP in Indonesia, as shown by the APIP leveling mapping conducted by the BPKP JFA Internal Audit Capability Model (IACM) in 2010.
In the context of fostering APIP governance, BPKP believes that it is necessary to assess the implementation of APIP governance in Indonesia based on the model developed by The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), namely the Internal Audit Capability Model (IACM), and adjusted accordingly to include comprehensive governance elements and their relationship with risk management and internal control. The assessment of APIP governance implementation in Indonesia, based on the Internal Audit Capability Model, includes the assessment of six elements:
1. APIP Roles and Services (Services and Role of Internal Auditing)
2. Human Resources Management (People Management)
3. Professional Practices (Professional Practices)
4. Accountability and Performance Management (Performance Management and Accountability)
5. Organizational Culture and Relationships (Organizational Relationship and Culture)
6. Governance Structures (Governance Structures)
All APIP Capability Elements are assessed using fulfillment statements (240 statements) developed for all APIP Working Units (41 Working Units). Based on the assessment results, a general conclusion will be drawn regarding APIP Capabilities, grouped into five levels:
Level 1 (Initial), Level 2 (Infrastructure), Level 3 (Integrated), Level 4 (Managed), and Level 5 (Optimizing).
Currently, the APIP Capabilities of the Main Inspectorate of BNN have reached Level 3, indicating that Professional Practices and Internal Auditing have been standardized and are in line with standards. As a result, APIP can assess the efficiency, effectiveness, and economy of a program/activity and provide consultation on governance, risk management, and internal control.
The Self-Evaluation Workshop for APIP Capabilities of the Main Inspectorate of BNN aims to prepare for the improvement of APIP Capabilities from Level 3 to Level 4. Achieving Level 4 means that the APIP Unit has integrated all information across the organization to enhance governance and risk management.

The implementation of SPIP is expected to provide adequate confidence in achieving organizational goals, the reliability of financial reporting, the security of state assets, and compliance with regulations.
In the context of ensuring confidence that the implementation of SPIP in ministries/agencies is in line with the established mandate, the Supreme Audit Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BPKP) has created Guidelines for Assessing the Maturity of the Implementation of the Internal Control System in Ministries/Agencies.
In this regard, the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) pays high attention to these guidelines. As a manifestation of BNN's efforts to continually enhance understanding and insight into SPIP assessment guidelines, the BNN Inspectorate held the Integrated SPIP Maturity Assessment Workshop within the National Narcotics Agency, both online and offline, for two days on Wednesday and Thursday (6-7/10/2021) in Jakarta.
This event was opened by the Main Inspector of BNN RI, Drs. Wahyono, M.H., CFrA. In his speech, he explained that in the assessment of the maturity of the integrated SPIP implementation within the BNN, there is a mechanism consisting of self-assessment by management, namely through the Main Secretariat and the deputy.
“While quality assurance by the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP) in ministries/agencies/government, in this case, is carried out by the Main Inspectorate and is finally evaluated by BPKP based on the results of self-assessment and quality assurance,” added this two-star General.
As a quality assurance unit, the Main Inspectorate is required to oversee the management and technical deputies in the implementation of SPIP and promote risk management, including fraud/corruption risk.
“In addition, it is expected to conduct supervision in high-risk areas,” the Main Inspector emphasized.
Before concluding his speech, the Main Inspector of BNN RI stressed that the assessment of the maturity of SPIP implementation would also identify control weaknesses, which would serve as areas for improvement (AoI). This forms the basis for preparing recommendations to address these control weaknesses and drive continuous control improvement.
In line with this, the Main Secretary of BNN RI, Drs. I Wayan Sukawinaya, M.Si, encouraged his staff to promote the implementation of SPIP as an organizational need and culture, not just as a mandatory requirement.
“One way to achieve this is to accelerate the integrated SPIP implementation with integrated SPIP maturity assessment carried out independently by the Main Secretariat, along with each unit of Eselon I, and then quality assurance by API or, in this case, the Main Inspectorate of BNN,” added the Main Secretary.
The Main Secretary also explained that independent SPIP maturity assessment is a new initiative for the organization. However, he encouraged all his staff to make their best efforts to maintain or even increase the maturity level of BNN's SPIP, which currently stands at level three or is valued at 3.1352. This good rating was obtained during the assessment by the Main Inspectorate in the 2019 Fiscal Year.
“This means that BNN has implemented internal control practices and documented them properly. However, all units must continue to strive for improvement, especially now that the assessment authority lies with the Main Secretariat. When we conduct assessments and identify weaknesses, we, as management, can immediately make improvements,” noted the Main Secretary of BNN RI.
The Main Secretary hoped that all participants, whether involved as independent assessors or quality assurance officers, would comprehensively absorb knowledge so that they could carry out the integrated SPIP maturity assessment in accordance with Regulation No. 5 of 2021 from the BPKP." }, "4": { "title": "Certified Risk Management Officer (CRMO) Training", "content": "bnn.go.id, Jakarta - The Certified Risk Management Officer (CRMO) training took place for four days from October 13th to 16th, 2020, at the Swiss-Bell Hotel in Jakarta.

Management certification has become a specific requirement used by organizations to provide competency assurance. In Indonesia, this certification is regulated under the oversight of the Professional Risk Management Certification Body (LSPMR).

As an initial level for this certification, individuals must first take the CRMO exam. LSPMR claims that through CRMO, or Certified Risk Management Officer, professionals will be able to have a consistent perspective on risk. They can distinguish between risk and opportunity, create risk maps, perform assessments, and more.

After passing CRMO, professionals can move on to a higher level. The higher level is CRMP (Certified Risk Management Practices). After successfully completing it, professionals will gain recognition in the field of risk management. Thus, with this recognition, they are considered experts in applying and developing Integrated Corporate Risk Management.

Therefore, to enhance the quality of human resources, especially in the field of risk management, the Main Inspectorate has conducted the Certified Risk Management Officer Training and Certification, which aims to improve the quality of employees in risk management, enhance human resource capabilities, creating a professional, intelligent, and responsible civil apparatus, and improving the competencies of human resources at the basic level in terms of identifying risks in business processes, creating risk maps, conducting monitoring, and presenting risk reports within the Main Inspectorate of BNN." }, "5": { "title": "Certified Human Resource Manager (CHRM) Training at the Main Inspectorate of BNN", "content": "bnn.go.id, Jakarta - The Certified Human Resource Manager training at the Main Inspectorate of BNN took place from October 12th to 16th, 2020, at the Harper Hotel in Jakarta.

This HR certification is obtained by individuals through learning, training, and work experience in the field of Human Resources. Typically, it is awarded by organizations or professional associations that accurately understand professional competence in the field of human resources.

In Indonesia, there is the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP), which oversees the consistency and credibility of Professional Certification Institutions (LSPs) that provide certificates for specific professions or competencies.

This activity was conducted virtually (via Zoom) at the Teleconference Room, Tan Satrisna Building, BNN RI, Jakarta, on Friday (22/9).

The rehabilitation implementation meeting involving the TNI was aimed at aligning perceptions for the provision of rehabilitation services at TNI/Rindam facilities. All of this was carried out based on the directive from the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Ir. Joko Widodo, to find a solution for the high drug abuse rates in prisons that have led to overcapacity.

The Deputy for Rehabilitation of BNN RI, Dra. Riza Sarasvita, M.Si., MHS., Ph.D., revealed that, according to the prevalence survey results, this program would focus on 10 provinces with high drug abuse cases. However, it doesn't mean that non-priority BNN Provincial Offices won't take any action or P4GN activities.

“BNN Provincial Offices that are considered a priority will certainly contribute clients,” said Dra. Riza Sarasvita, M.Si., MHS., Ph.D.

“The criteria for clients treated at TNI facilities are those with mild to moderate conditions and no severe medical complications,” added Riza Sarasvita.

This 3-day event from March 8 to March 10, 2023, was attended by 414 participants from various BNNP and BNNK/City offices throughout Indonesia, both in-person and virtually, to enhance their capabilities in providing rehabilitation services in the field.

Dr. Bina Ampera Bukit, M.Kes, the Director of PLRIP BNN and also a speaker at the event, explained the community-based intervention approach to rehabilitating drug users, which directly involves community participation. The IBM service is intended for the community and by the community, in line with local wisdom. Active community members involved in IBM services are referred to as “Recovery Agents” (AP). IBM represents a rehabilitation approach in the form of minimal services and a low threshold approach, making it easily accessible and requiring few prerequisites.

At the event, the Director of PLRIP also covered topics related to IBM policies and scope. IBM aims to provide intervention to clients with mild to moderate risk who need extended rehabilitation services. The IBM targets are divided into four groups: drug users and victims of drug abuse, families with issues related to drug abuse by one of their family members, community members actively engaged in rehabilitation, and village officials or local government as a potential resource for the growth and development of IBM.

The success of the Deputy for Rehabilitation of BNN RI in obtaining certification as an institution providing child-friendly services for children in need of special protection is the result of the hard work of two Technical Implementation Units (UPT) of Rehabilitation BNN RI, namely the Large Rehabilitation Center of BNN Lido and the BNN Batam Rehabilitation Center, which have consistently focused on ensuring the rights, special protection, and the best interests of children in providing rehabilitation services for narcotics abuse victims.

The Deputy for Special Child Protection of the Ministry of PP and PA, Nahar, S.H., M.Si., who had the opportunity to present the award, expressed appreciation to BNN RI, especially to the Deputy for Rehabilitation and its staff.

“We offer our congratulations and success for the excellent assessments of several service units under BNN. This is an important record for us to make special efforts to protect children,” added the Deputy for Special Child Protection of the Ministry of PP and PA.

Furthermore, she revealed that institutions dealing with child protection and special child protection should already comply with standards as mandated by various laws and regulations. Therefore, when they are in line with the standards, she hopes that undesirable incidents will no longer occur in institutions that provide protection and support to children.

For this reason, Nahar hopes that the awards given on this occasion can serve as motivation for other BNN Rehabilitation UPTs to work together toward becoming Child-Friendly Service Providers.

The event was inaugurated by the Deputy for Rehabilitation of BNN RI, Dra. Riza Sarasvita, M.Si, MHS, Ph.D. During the occasion, the Deputy for Rehabilitation emphasized that the event was not primarily focused on improving skills but aimed at deepening knowledge about motivational interviewing.

Through this technical guidance, rehabilitation officers, both from the vertical BNN RI institutions and partner rehabilitation institutions of BNN RI, gained additional knowledge about motivational interviews as an effort to meet SNI 8807:2022 regarding the Provision of Rehabilitation Services for Addicts, Drug Abusers, and Victims of Narcotics, Psychotropics, and Other Addictive Substances.

According to the Deputy for Rehabilitation, the technical guidance on motivational interviews is vital. One of the requirements for delivering quality services is that rehabilitation officers or counselors can transform hesitant clients into confident ones to access rehabilitation services. Counselors should also successfully make clients aware of their problematic behavior, thus enabling them to voluntarily undergo rehabilitation programs. Therefore, the Deputy for Rehabilitation believes that mastering motivational interviewing should be the top priority.

The Deputy for Rehabilitation urged participants in the technical guidance to be more interactive and proactive during all session materials, enhancing their comprehensive understanding of motivational interviewing. Before delving into the core material, the Deputy for Rehabilitation provided a brief overview of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).

The event received positive feedback from all participants, including Muhammad Taufik from the Fokus Rehabilitasi Medan institution. He expressed that motivational interviews are highly necessary for field officers to advance clients through stages of change, starting from precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, and into action.

Through this event, Taufik extended his utmost gratitude to BNN RI for providing him with the opportunity to acquire more knowledge. He hopes that armed with the knowledge gained, all rehabilitation officers can further improve their services in the mission to save the nation's youth from drug-related issues.

Rehabilitation service standardization is developed as a national standard to encourage rehabilitation institutions to achieve predetermined standards to maintain the quality of providing rehabilitation services to drug addicts or abusers.

Prior to this, the National Standardization Agency (BSN) issued SNI 8807:2019 on the Provision of Rehabilitation Services for Addicts, Drug Abusers, and Victims of Drug Abuse, Psychotropics, and Other Addictive Substances (NAPZA).

Throughout 2020, BNN worked with relevant sectors to assist rehabilitation institutions that were national priorities in reaching the standards set in SNI 8807:2019.

Dr. Amrita Devi, Sp.KJ., M.Si, Director of the Strengthening Community-Based Rehabilitation Institutions under the Deputy for Rehabilitation of BNN, stated that the challenge ahead is to ensure that SNI becomes an implementable national priority program, as it is already included in the National Medium-Term Development Plan (Renstra) and Presidential Instruction Number 2 of 2020. Devi expressed hopes that SNI will not remain just a document but will be implemented and provide tangible benefits.

During the event, the results of the SNI implementation in 2020 were also revealed, indicating a 30% improvement on average in service quality compared to before and after assistance. Out of 14 institutions receiving assistance, about 79% achieved SNI type 2 (1 institution) and SNI type 3 (10 institutions).

The discussion was attended by representatives from the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Social Affairs, and the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, who agreed to collaborate in implementing SNI in their respective rehabilitation facilities.
“We have IPWL [rehabilitation institutions] based on health services in all provinces, consisting of various levels, from mental hospitals to health centers. Mental hospitals are trained to provide professional NAPZA rehabilitation services. We believe these mental hospitals can become centers of excellence for NAPZA services in their areas, which, of course, need to implement this SNI first,” stated drg. Luki Hartanti, Head of the Substance Abuse Prevention and Management Division of the Ministry of Health.

In line with this, Kusbudiarto from the Directorate of Social Welfare Institution for the Ministry of Social Affairs conveyed that social welfare institution-based IPWL, both at the central and regional levels, would be encouraged to meet the SNI requirements.

In the field implementation, applying SNI at each rehabilitation institution poses various challenges. Besides the numerous components that institutions must meet to achieve the set standards, they must also make continuous efforts to ensure that their services are maintained at or improved to meet those standards. Commitment and motivation are required to enhance the quality of services.

Meanwhile, Yuki Ruchimat, M.Si., the Head of the BNN Rehabilitation Center, admitted that there are areas that need to be reviewed to improve the implementation of SNI in rehabilitation institutions. The same sentiment was echoed by Rama Fauzi from the Office of the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Cultural Affairs, a member of the SNI technical committee, who stressed that based on the 2020 SNI implementation pilot, adjustments are needed for better implementation.

From this meeting, BNN hopes to identify challenges in the early implementation of SNI, allowing the development of practical standardization to enhance the quality of rehabilitation services in Indonesia.

This laboratory is the first of its kind in Kalimantan Island. The laboratory is built to provide detection services for drug use in the Kalimantan region,\" said Reinhard Golose.

Currently, there are four narcotics laboratories owned by BNN RI, located in Deli Serdang (North Sumatra), Bogor (West Java), Baddoka (South Sulawesi), and Samarinda.

He explained that this narcotics laboratory is also a forensic laboratory specializing in narcotics. However, it differs from the forensic laboratory owned by the Indonesian National Police (Polri) because it specifically deals with all types of substances related to narcotics.

\"I acknowledge that the BNN laboratory equipment in Samarinda is the best and the latest. This will also be in cooperation with the University of Mulawarman Samarinda. The technical details of this collaboration will be arranged by the team from the BNN RI Laboratory Center,\" said the former Bali Regional Police Chief.

The WBK and WBBM designations are an appreciation for government agencies that have made extra efforts to establish exemplary units that are known for their integrity and excellent service. These units serve as agents of change that drive the progress of bureaucratic reform in Indonesia. In 2021, a total of 4,406 work units were proposed to the National Appraisal Team, and 558 work units successfully passed the final panel review, comprising 486 units designated as WBK and 72 units designated as WBBM.

Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia Ma'ruf Amin, who addressed the event virtually, emphasized the importance of moral integrity as the foundation and character values needed in establishing Integrity Zones. The presence of state officials with integrity will influence the sustainability of the anti-corruption ecosystem within organizations.

To achieve bureaucratic reform, he stated that it requires synergy and collaboration from prevention to enforcement, whether it's from government to government, government to business, business to business, or from central to regional levels.

Alhamdulillah, in 2021, the National Narcotics Laboratory Center of BNN successfully received the Corruption-Free Bureaucracy Areas (WBBM) designation after passing all stages of assessment. Previously, in 2019, it had received the Corruption-Free Work Areas (WBK) designation from the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform. This is a historic achievement for us, as the National Narcotics Laboratory Center of BNN is the first and only unit within BNN to receive the WBBM designation in 2021.
