Indonesia's parliament unanimously amended the country's national police law to allow active duty officers to serve in civilian ministries and state agencies without first resigning from the police force, Reuters reported on June 9. The law permits such appointments in areas broadly defined as related to security, law enforcement, public protection or public service, while separately raising the police retirement age by one year.

The amendment follows Subianto's earlier expansion of active duty military personnel's access to civilian posts, making the police law part of a broader effort to normalize security-sector participation in civilian administration. It also follows and effectively reverses a November 2025 Constitutional Court ruling that barred active duty police officers from holding civilian posts unless first resigning or retiring, which at the time put into legal question hundreds of active duty officers' earlier civilian appointments.
