This research was conducted to answer the questions "What is the current educational situation in Secapa Polri" and "How is the education system in Secapa Polri". Interest in researching this topic is based on the fact that the professionalism of the National Police is relatively low. This is marked with; The police's typical technical capabilities have decreased, they are no longer responsive in providing services to the community, tend to be militaristic, etc. which are thought to be caused by educational factors as stated by several experts who understand the Police. In connection with the research objectives, this study used 10 informants (5 students/former students and 5 supervisors/teaching staff). The research subjects were 400 Secapa Polri students from the 28th class of the 2000 academic year. Each of them was given a questionnaire to measure students' opinions and feelings towards educational system variables. The research results from qualitative data analysis revealed that the Secapa Polri educational institution was physically inadequate and gave the impression of being a closed educational institution; 11 month educational curriculum with many subjects(38 subjects), busy activities, minimal skills subject matter; the teaching and learning process is supported by personnel who are limited in quantity and quality, use of inappropriate learning methods; Student behavior is behavior obtained from a limited"model". Several of these characteristics indicate that Secapa Polri is an educational institution that implements a closed education system. Apart from that, the results of quantitative data analysis of students' opinions and feelings show that the mean of the education system variables is to the left of the average with the variations in the answers given tending to be homogeneous. This indicates a closed education system. There is similarity (consistency) between students' opinions and feelings towards the Secapa Polri education system. This further emphasizes that the education system at Secapa Polri is a closed education system. Considering the limitations of a study which cannot possibly reveal all the aspects studied, there are several things that can be discussed. There are similarities between the results of this research and the results of research conducted by the National Police Dislitbang and UGM, and the PTIK Working Group, namely that the National Police education curriculum needs to be adapted to societal developments. To find out how an effective and efficient education system is in forming professional police, it is necessary to develop a comparative study with police education that is at the same level as Secapa education in other countriesthat are already developed but have societal characteristics that are similar to Indonesian society. Use of theory developed with motivation theory as contained in Mc theory. Clelland (Gibson, et al,1997) and social judgment theory which assumes that a person's behavioral guidelines are based on judgment standards formed by previous experience, life and environment. Data analysis can be developed using regression analysis to see how big the contribution of student motivation, educational background, lengthof service, and education system is to the behavior of students resulting from certain education (SPN, Akpol, PTIK, Secapa, etc.). By expanding research problems, increasing research questions, enriching theories and theoretical frameworks and developing research methods, it is very likely that the results will be more representative and more useful for organizational development, especially accelerating the realization of a professional Police.
