the number of Brimob personnel is quite large (easily reach more than 150.000 to 200.000 personnel) and this years alone Police department want to raise their numbers again along with the number of regular police around 20.200 personnel for both of them, if i am not mistaken the exact number.
I find myself disagree to the plan to raise the number of Brimob. A very large number of paramilitary units indicates internal instability of a country because paramilitary force is mostly designed to deal with armed and rogue civilians-related problems like terrorism, separatism etc. unless they are reorganized under a new command structure or department like the homeland security or national guard. But then again, that would create a new "rivalry" between regular and irregular forces.
