Jakarta (B2B) - TNI menyiapkan grup pengamanan baru, yang khusus bertugas mengamankan mantan presiden dan mantan wakil presiden beserta keluarga.
"Pembentukan grup baru akan mematenkan tugas pengamanan mantan pemimpin RI. selama ini TNI tak punya grup khusus untuk mantan presiden dan wakil presiden. Pengamanan mereka hanya diperbantukan dari grup lain. Grup khusus ini akan diberi nama Grup D," kata Panglima TNI Jenderal Moeldoko di Markas Komando Paspampres, Tanah Abang, Jakarta, Senin (3/3).
Grup baru tersebut beranggotakan sekitar 287 personel TNI. Sesuai rencana, nantinya seorang mantan presiden atau wakil presiden akan diamankan oleh 30 personel yang bertugas bergantian setiap hari. Jumlah personel harian akan ditentukan tim berdasarkan situasi dan kondisi mantan presiden dan wakil presiden tersebut.
"Jadi proporsional saja, tergantung permintaan dan keadaan di lapangan," katanya.
Soal prosedur pengamanan, Moeldoko melanjutkan, akan dilakukan sesuai aturan standar pengamanan mantan presiden dan wakil presiden. Dengan kata lain, mantan presiden dan wakil presiden beserta keluarga harus terhindar dari segala ancaman bahaya. "Dan ini perlindungannya melekat."
Menurut Moeldoko, dengan terbentuknya grup baru, dia akan berkomunikasi dengan para mantan presiden dan wakil presiden, seperti Megawati Soekarnoputri dan Jusuf Kalla.
Sebelumnya hanya ada tiga grup di jajaran Paspampres, yakni Grup A, B, dan C. Grup A bertugas melaksanakan pengamanan fisik jarak dekat terhadap presiden beserta keluarganya. Grup B melaksanakan pengamanan fisik jarak dekat terhadap wakil presiden beserta keluarganya. Sedangkan grup C melaksanakan pengamanan fisik jarak dekat terhadap tamu negara setingkat kepala negara atau kepala pemerintahan.
Selain membentuk Grup D, Moeldoko juga meresmikan Detasemen Latihan (Delat) Paspampres. Sebelumnya Delat berada di bawah komando Grup C Paspampres. Detasemen Latihan bertugas melatih dan membina kemampuan personel Paspampres.
"Denlat sekarang berdiri sendiri menjadi Detasemen Pendukung dan berkedudukan di bawah Komandan Paspampres TNI."
Jakarta (B2B) - The Indonesia Military (TNI) has set up a new group in the Presidential Security Force (Paspampres) with a special task of providing close physical security to former presidents, vice presidents and their families.
"Certainly, more personnel will be recruited following the setting up of Group D, but it is not very significant yet. We will optimize the existing ones. Of course, there will also be an increase in the budget because any change in organization always requires an additional budget," TNI commander General Moeldoko stated after inaugurating the Group at Paspampres Headquarters here, on Monday.
He added that the new Group D was a validation of the organization and duties of Paspampres based on Presidential Regulation Number 59.2013 on government regulation for the security of president and vice president, former presidents and vice presidents and their families as well as heads of state/government-level state guests.
Moedoko pointed out that security of former presidents and vice presidents had actually been carried out so far but it was not yet slotted into a certain organization and therefore, following an evaluation, it was decided that a special organization was needed for it.
"So, we have actually provided security for former presidents and vice presidents, but it was not organized and so, the implementation of control command was difficult to carry out. With the issuance of the presidential regulation everything will be made clear: the responsibility, the budget and personnel are clear," he elaborated.
The Group D will work effectively from the day it is inaugurated; although the budget is still limited, it will slowly and certainly be raised, he added.
"There are 287 personnel involved in the group, with each president or vice president or security object being secured by a team of 30 personnel. Sometimes, the person concerned may not like to be accompanied continuously by the team and so, in that case, we will adjust the arrangement accordingly, in line with the needs of the person concerned," he explained.
Paspampres commander Major General Doni Monardo meanwhile added that Paspampres formerly had three groups namely Group A, which is assigned to physically secure, within a close range, the president and his/her family; Group B, which is assigned to secure the vice president and his/her family physically within a close range and Group C, which is assigned to secure heads of state/government-level state guests.
Based on the president regulation Number 59/2013, the TNI issued a TNI Commander regulation number 27/2013, signed in December 2013, for the setting up of Group D.
