The name \u201cAwaloedin Djamin\u201d should always come up in conversations about the Indonesian security industry. Especially when it comes to the creation of <\/span>security guard in Indonesia<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As most have probably known, Police General (Purn.) Prof. Dr. Drs. Awaloedin Djamin, M. P. A. plays an important role in the history of security guard in Indonesia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: The title (Purn.) is short for \u201cPurnawirawan\u201d, a title given to ex-military or police members in Indonesia.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

So much so that he was granted the title of \u201cThe Founding Father of Security Guard (in Indonesia)\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0A title granted to him after the creation of security guard in Indonesia through the Chief of Indonesian National Police Decree No. <\/span>Pol..:SKEP\/126\/XII\/1980 <\/span><\/i>on <\/span>Satpam <\/span><\/i>Development System (<\/span>Surat Keputusan Kapolri No. Pol.:SKEP\/126XII\/1980 tentang Pola Pembinaan Satpam<\/span><\/i>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from his merits for the Indonesian police and security industry, Awaloedin Djamin \u2013 as you might notice from his other titles \u2013 was also an academic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just to mention a few, Awaloedin Djamin has become the Chief of the Indonesian National Police, the Minister of Manpower, the Head of State Administration Agency, and the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to West Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the life story of Awaloedin Djamin?<\/span><\/p>\n

Early Life<\/b><\/p>\n

Awaloedin Djamin was born on the 26<\/span>th<\/span> of September 1927 in the then city of Padang (or Padang City), West Sumatra, Dutch East-Indies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1946, he went to military training at Batu Sangkar before returning home to Padang.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Circumstances in the city of Padang forced him and his family to evacuate to Bukittinggi. There, he finished his <\/span>SLTA <\/span><\/i>(high school) study in 1948.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Policemen and an Academic<\/b><\/p>\n

A year after finishing his high school study, Awaloedin Djamin continued his academic studies in 1949 to the Faculty of Economics in Universitas Indonesia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, after just one year of studying in Universitas Indonesia, he chooses to enlist in Police Higher Education College (<\/span>Perguruan Tinggi Ilmu Kepolisian<\/span><\/i>), or PTIK. He graduated from PTIK in 1955, after five years of studies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His academic studies didn\u2019t stop there though. He took his opportunity to study at a program in the Graduate School of Public and International Affair at the University of Pittsburgh, United States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After two years of studies, he graduated and earned his Master of Public Administration or M. P. A. degree.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUnsatisfied\u201d with his master\u2019s degree, Awaloedin Djamin continued his academic studies in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

This time in the School of Public Administration, University of North Carolina. Earning his doctoral degree in 1963. Becoming the first ever policemen in Indonesia to have the title of Professor Doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of his capacity in the academic world, Awaloedin Djamin was appointed as a dean in PTIK, rector in Universitas Pancasila (1983-1985), and a non-permanent professor (<\/span>guru besar tidak tetap<\/span><\/i>) in the Faculty of Social and Political Science (FISIP) of Universitas Indonesia in 1948 with \u201c<\/span>Praktek Administrasi Negara Republik Indonesia dan Perkembangan Ilmu Administrasi<\/span><\/i>\u201d as the title of his inauguration speech.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His academic writings, such as \u201c<\/span>Administrasi Kepolisian RI Menghadapi Tahun 2000<\/span><\/i>\u201d or \u201c<\/span>Sistem Administrasi Kepolisian Indonesia<\/span><\/i>\u201d are still referred to in state administration science and police science academic writings up to this day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Awaloedin Djamin\u2019s Careers<\/b><\/p>\n

Awaloedin Djamin\u2019s skills and capabilities enabled him to hold several high-ranking positions in multiple stage of his life.<\/span><\/p>\n

His career started in 1955 after his studies at PTIK. With the rank of Police 1<\/span>st<\/span> Commissioner (<\/span>Komisaris Polisi Tingkat I<\/span><\/i>), he became part of the <\/span>Jawatan Kepolisian Negara <\/span><\/i>(now the Indonesian National Police, or<\/span> Polri), Jakarta.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His career in the police force continued until he became the Head of Secretariat General (<\/span>Kasi Umum Sekretariat<\/span><\/i>) of the <\/span>Jawatan Kepolisian Negara<\/span><\/i> in 1958. After three years of service, he chooses to continue his study in the United States as previously mentioned.<\/span><\/p>\n

After finishing his studies, Awaloedin Djamin continued his career in many fields. It\u2019s impossible to mention it all in this article, but to name a few:<\/span><\/p>\n

Minister of Manpower (1966-1968)<\/b><\/p>\n

Awaloedin Djamin became the Minister of Manpower (<\/span>Menteri Tenaga Kerja<\/span><\/i>) for two years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the two years of him being the Minister of Manpower, he performed several strategic moves and created policies to fix the income rate and well-being of the government employees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Head of the State Administration Agency (1970-1976)<\/b><\/p>\n

During his leadership as the Head of State Administration Agency, a new law regarding principles of personnel affairs (<\/span>pokok-pokok kepegawaian<\/span><\/i>) was developed and enacted.<\/span><\/p>\n

The law in question is the Law No. 8 of 1974 on Principles of Personnel Affairs (<\/span>UU Nomor 8 Tahun 1974 tentang Pokok-Pokok Kepegawaian<\/span><\/i>) that differentiate government officials from government employees. Though government officials could also come from government employees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chief of the Indonesian National Police (1978-1982)<\/b><\/p>\n

After two years of being the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to West Germany (1976-1978), he was called back to Indonesia to be the Chief of the Indonesian National Police.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was during his time as the Chief of the Indonesian National Police that he got the title \u201cThe Founding Father of Security Guard\u201d after the development and enactment of the Chief of Indonesian National Police Decree No. <\/span>Pol..:SKEP\/126\/XII\/1980 <\/span><\/i>on <\/span>Satpam <\/span><\/i>Development System.<\/span><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not the only achievement he did as the Chief of the Indonesian National Police.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In his time, the new Law No. 8 of 1981 on the Code of Criminal Procedure (<\/span>KUHAP<\/span><\/i>) was approved by the House of People\u2019s Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia and enacted to replace the old Dutch law of <\/span>Het Herzine Inlandsh Reglement <\/span><\/i>(<\/span>HIR<\/span><\/i>).<\/span><\/p>\n

      The Founding Father of Security Guard\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

      The history of security guard or <\/span>satuan pengamanan <\/span><\/i>(<\/span>satpam<\/span><\/i>)<\/span> in Indonesia can be traced back to its creation on the 30<\/span>th<\/span> of December 1980.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u201c<\/span>Satuan pengamanan<\/span><\/i>\u201d itself is chosen by Awaloedin Djamin as the translation of \u201csecurity guard\u201d in Bahasa Indonesia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Not long after the creation of security guard in Indonesia, its number grew to 30.000 personnel. A number that kept growing that in 2020 there are approximately 1,600,000 security guard personnel, of which 500,000 of them are officially registered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Because of his service, on the 30<\/span>th<\/span> of December 1993 that coincided with the 13<\/span>th<\/span> birthday of security guard, Awaloedin Djamin was awarded the title of \u201cThe Founding Father of Security Guard\u201d by the then Chief of the Indonesian National Police, <\/span>Letjen.
