Indonesian National Police: Scaling 3D Scanning Technology for Road Safety Impact
In this exclusive interview filmed at Leica Geosystems headquarters in Heerbrugg, Switzerland, senior officials from the Traffic Corps of the Indonesian National Police (Korlantas Polri) share their approach to using advanced technology to improve public safety and modernise traffic law enforcement across the country.
Recorded on 11th November 2024, the discussion features:
- Brigadier General R. Slamet Santoso, S.H., S.I.K. – Director of Law Enforcement, Traffic Corps, Indonesian National Police (Dirgakkum Korlantas Polri)
- Commissioner Cornelis F. Hotman Sirait, S.H., S.I.K. – Head of Accident Investigation, Directorate of Law Enforcement, Traffic Corps, Indonesian National Police (Kasubdit Laka Ditgakkum Korlantas Polri)
Indonesia faces a significant public safety challenge with over 152,000 traffic accidents recorded each year. As part of a national strategy to reduce incidents by at least 10%, Korlantas Polri has adopted 3D laser scanning solutions from Leica Geosystems—namely the PS360 and PS2GO—to enhance the way traffic accidents are documented, reconstructed, and investigated.
To date, the Indonesian National Police has deployed:
- 176 PS360 units
- 20 PS2GO units
These tools are now widely used by officers in the field, enabling faster, more accurate scene documentation and supporting more efficient transitions into the enforcement and legal process. The leadership notes that an estimated 500 units are needed to fully meet operational demand across the country’s regions.
This interview highlights a successful example of national-level digital transformation in public safety, demonstrating how scalable, scene-ready technologies like 3D laser scanners can improve both day-to-day operations and long-term road safety outcomes.
Key highlights:
- Strategic use of 3D scanning to meet national traffic safety targets
- Operational deployment of PS360 and PS2GO across Indonesian police units
- Enhancing investigation accuracy and legal readiness through digital workflows
- The need for scalable, reliable solutions in large-scale public safety operations
