Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation

What Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation does

Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation (JCLEC) is a bilateral law enforcement training and capacity-building platform established in 2004 as a joint initiative between the Indonesian National Police (Polri) and the Australian Federal Police (AFP). The organization delivers professional development, counter-transnational crime training, and international police cooperation programs, having trained over 32,468 participants from 80 countries across approximately 2,000 programs since founding. JCLEC operates from a Secretariat office in Jakarta and a main campus in Semarang that sits within the Polri Akpol complex, providing direct institutional access to Indonesian police training infrastructure.

JCLEC's service portfolio spans four delivery modes: Onsite Programs at the Semarang campus, Offsite Programs delivered internationally (since 2015), an Online Delivery Model (ODM) introduced in June 2020, and Hybrid Program Delivery combining face-to-face and virtual modalities. Supporting infrastructure includes the KERIS immersive simulation facility (Kollaborasi Edukasi Realitas Imersi Simulasi), the Learning Resource Centre, the JCLEC Dialogue platform (launched 2018), professional event management, and interpreting and translation services introduced in 2014. Specialized program series include the Kartini Series on women's leadership in police service, funded by the Government of Canada, and the recently launched Monitoring and Evaluation Guidelines for Gender-Based Training (November 2025).

JCLEC is not a commercial enterprise. It operates as a government-to-government cooperation platform funded by its two founding police forces and a network of international donor governments, including the UK (FCDO), Canada, New Zealand, Denmark, France, and the United States (OPDAT). It employs 35 staff and is governed by a Board of Management with representation from both Polri and AFP, with senior AFP personnel serving in leadership roles such as Head of Education and Training Support. Leadership transitioned in 2024 with Police Brigadier General Audie S. Latuheru assuming the Executive Director role, and again in June 2026 with Federal Agent Jason Pourpouras appointed as HETS.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Lemdiklat Polri (Indonesian National Police Education and Training Institution): Lemdiklat Polri is the Indonesian National Police's education and training arm, within whose Akpol complex JCLEC's Semarang campus is physically located. Lemdiklat is a direct counterpart institution conducting domestic police training at scale; JCLEC operates as the international cooperation arm embedded within this broader structure.
• UK College of Policing: The UK College of Policing is the professional body for policing in England and Wales, delivering training, setting standards, and conducting research. It is comparable to JCLEC as a government-funded professional police training institution, though it serves a domestic UK market while JCLEC serves an international cooperation mission.
• UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime): UNODC delivers law enforcement capacity-building programs globally, particularly on counter-narcotics, anti-trafficking, and anti-corruption through its regional programme offices. UNODC and JCLEC both target law enforcement capacity building in transnational crime areas, though UNODC operates as a broader UN agency covering many regions and crime types.
• Australian Federal Police (AFP): AFP is JCLEC's co-founding partner and one of Australia's primary law enforcement agencies, with its own international deployment and training capabilities through the AFP International Operations. AFP's training operations provide a direct comparison point for the scale and resourcing of government-backed international police training.
• FBI National Academy: The FBI National Academy in Quantico provides advanced leadership and training programs for international senior law enforcement officials, including an Executive Leadership program. JCLEC and the FBI National Academy are comparable as government-backed training institutions delivering international police leadership development with U.S. partnership.
• INTERPOL Global Academy: INTERPOL provides global police cooperation, including training programs delivered through its Innovation Centre and regional bureaus. INTERPOL is comparable to JCLEC as a global police capacity-building organization, though INTERPOL operates at a much broader multilateral scale while JCLEC focuses on the Indo-Pacific region.

Direct peers

• International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA): ILEA is a U.S. State Department-funded network of regional law enforcement academies providing training to mid-level officers, with hubs in Bangkok, Budapest, Gaborone, Lima, and Roswell. JCLEC and ILEA share the same fundamental model: bilateral/multi-donor-funded regional police training institutions targeting capacity building and international cooperation.
• EU Agency for Law Enforcement Training (CEPOL): CEPOL is the European Union agency headquartered in Budapest that coordinates training for European law enforcement officials, including exchange programs, e-learning platforms, and a research-based knowledge centre. JCLEC and CEPOL are directly comparable as dedicated, government-funded law enforcement training bodies with multi-modal delivery (online, in-person, exchange) and strong donor/government backing.
• ASEANAPOL: ASEANAPOL is the ASEAN National Police organization coordinating cooperation among Southeast Asian police forces, headquartered in Brunei. JCLEC and ASEANAPOL share the regional Southeast Asian police cooperation mandate and frequently interact on joint training initiatives, making ASEANAPOL a direct peer in JCLEC's core geography.

Emerging players

• Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) - Law Enforcement Programs: JICA delivers capacity-building technical cooperation programs including law enforcement training across Southeast Asia and globally, funded by the Japanese government. JICA is comparable to JCLEC as a donor-government-funded international law enforcement capacity-building organization, though JICA operates across many sectors while JCLEC is law enforcement focused.
