I think you misunderstood my points madam, I didn't say that we don't need Brimob, what I did say is that we don't need to increase their number. Brimob is militarized police, in short, they are special police, they are tasked with special missions that no ordinary police units nor military units would be suitable for them. A decade ago, Indonesia was on fire, there were rebellions in almost all major islands that need to be dealt by the Brimobs, but such missions (like separatism, secessionism) are now decreasing fast, the only hotspot in Indonesia is Papua. The civilian-related problems are shifting from separatism and secessionism into ideological and religious terrorism which should be approached by different methods and units. Therefore, the today's number of Brimob is enough to cope with our remaining internal problems. What I would like to see is an increase of regular police unit number and the number of anti-terror units like Densus 88.
Anyway SWAT is big on number but is still less than the Brimob, and the plan to increase the number of SWAT teams is based on a growing "usual" problems in the U.S. These so-called usual problems are different than the ones in Indonesia, SWAT teams have to deal with heavily armed robbers, tresspassers and gunmen because guns are easy to have in the U.S, meanwhile in Indonesia you don't see everyday's robbers carry guns, left alone automatic and large caliber guns. So regular police is enough to deal with our everyday's problem.
