Cross-Sectoral Collaboration in Proactive Recruitment of Candidates for the Republic of Indonesia Police

Abstract

This study aims to analyze cross-sectoral collaboration, especially on the elements of innovation output and evaluation of collaborative innovation in the proactive recruitment program for prospective members of the Indonesian National Police. The research design used is qualitative with a case study strategy. This research was conducted at 3 Regional Police (POLDA), namely the South Sulawesi Police, the North Kalimantan Police, and the Papua Police. The determination of research informants used purposive sampling, where informants were selected based on their involvement and knowledge regarding the proactive recruitment process for prospective members of the Indonesian National Police. Data collection includes observation, in-depth interviews, and document reviews. Data analysis techniques use interactive data analysis. Validity and reliability use triangulation, namely combining multiple data sources, methods, or theories to verify and strengthen research findings. The results of this study indicate that the proactive recruitment program presents various innovations related to local culture and technology, such as the Pallawa Diapers application in the South Sulawesi Regional Police, the customary tattoo policy in the North Kalimantan Regional Police, and the socialization of sharing betel nuts in the Papua Regional Police. However, the evaluations conducted are still informal and limited to verbal communication between related parties. Formal evaluations involving various external stakeholders need to be conducted to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the impact of the program. Active stakeholder involvement in formal evaluations can help measure impact objectively and improve the success and quality of innovation in the public sector.
