The Indonesian National Police have launched several digital initiatives aimed at improving their public image, including a new video-sharing platform called Policetube. However, critics argue that these efforts fall short of addressing the deeper issues underlying the erosion of public trust.
The Policetube platform, unveiled recently by the force's Public Relations Division, showcases institutional achievements and public service messages. Modelled after Youtube, the site features a dark-gray interface with gold colours, aligned with the police's visual identity.
