1. Recheck the completeness and clarity of the report or complaint.

The reporter or complainant can request a copy of the report or complaint to recheck the completeness and clarity of the information conveyed. If there are any shortcomings, the reporter or complainant can complete it immediately.

2. Ask the investigator why the report or complaint was not followed up.

The reporter or complainant can ask the investigator for an explanation of why the report or complaint was not followed up. If the reason given is not satisfactory, the reporter or complainant can take the next step.

3. Report to the investigator's superior.

The reporter or complainant can report the case to the superior of the investigator handling the report or complaint. The investigator's superior can order the investigator to continue the investigation or issue a Letter of Termination of Investigation (SP3).

If a police report or complaint is not followed up by the police, the reporter or complainant can take legal action by filing a pre-trial application. Pre-trial is a legal remedy that can be taken by someone who feels that their rights have been violated by the investigation or investigation process carried out by the investigator.

In the pre-trial application, the reporter or complainant can ask the court to:

  • Declare that the rejection or termination of the report process by the investigator is invalid.
  • Order the police to continue or follow up on the criminal report.
  • Order compensation if the investigator does not carry out the pre-trial decision.

Pre-trial is an effective legal remedy to protect the rights of the reporter or complainant if the report or complaint is not followed up by the police. However, the reporter or complainant must prepare themselves well before filing a pre-trial application, because the process requires considerable cost and time.

Here are some tips for preparing a pre-trial application:

With thorough preparation, your chances of winning a pre-trial application will increase.
