AKP Pardiman

The full name, rank, and title of AKP Pardiman, SH., MH., is a member of the Polri who currently serves as Head of the Narcotics Investigation Unit of the Polres of Tangsel, under the Polda Metro Jaya.

Prior to this position, he served as Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Polsek of East Ciputat. AKP Pardiman was appointed Head of the Narcotics Investigation Unit of the Polres of Tangsel, replacing AKP Bachtiar Noprianto, based on Police Telegram Letter No. ST/367/X/KEP./2024.

Prior to being entrusted with leading the Narcotics Investigation Unit, AKP Pardiman had a career in the investigative field, with the majority of his assignments being within the Polres Metro of West Jakarta Narcotics Investigation Unit. After completing his officer training, he was transferred to the Polres of Tangsel Department in 2015.

During his time in South Tangerang and Tangerang Regency, AKP Pardiman served as Head of Criminal Investigation at the Polsek of Serpong Department, Polsek of Ciputat Department, Polsek of Kelapa Dua Department, and Polsek of East Ciputat Department.

One of the cases he handled was the murder of a clothing store clerk on Jalan Borobudur Raya, Bencongan, Kelapa Dua.

During his time as Head of the Narcotics Investigation Unit at the Polres of Tangsel Department, AKP Pardiman was known for actively educating the public about the dangers of drug abuse through various outreach activities.

In law enforcement, the Polres of Tangsel Narcotics Unit, along with the Criminal Investigation Unit of the sub-district police, uncovered 13 cases of Schedule G drug distribution and narcotics crimes from October to November 2025.

In these investigations, 18 suspects were arrested and seized evidence including 30.906 Schedule G drug pills, 144,05 grams of methamphetamine, 7.978.65 grams of marijuana, and 204 ecstasy pills.

AKP Pardiman also led the investigation into a synthetic tobacco home industry in September 2025. The case expanded to Pacet District, Cianjur, before police uncovered a synthetic tobacco production site in an apartment in South Cikarang, Bekasi.

In this case, police seized approximately 21 kilograms of synthetic seed raw materials, reportedly worth approximately Rp21 billion.

In his statement at the time, AKP Pardiman stated that this evidence was estimated to save approximately 2 million lives from synthetic tobacco abuse.

Unfortunately, despite his track record of uncovering numerous narcotics cases, AKP Pardiman has now been implicated in an alleged drug crime. As a result, he and six of his fellow officers are now incarcerated, awaiting legal proceedings. Jinxed, bro. You poor thing.
