The Existence of PNTL in Supporting the Implementation of the State Government Based on the Constitution of the Republic Democratic of Timor-Leste of 2002

The position of the National Police of Timor-Leste as an institution supporting the administration of the State government was under the government's purview and it is known that the government was formed from the political party with the most votes in the elections, as a result, the PNTL in discharging their duties and functions as agents of the law is not loyal to the state, but loyal only to the elected government. Thus, in order to position the PNTL as a truly loyal body to the State, the PNTL position must be under the authority of the President of the RDTL so that in the future the PNTL will no longer be under the authority of the government, so that in the exercise of its functions, functions and authorities is taken over by the President of the RDTL, however, to bring the PNTL under the same roof as the F-FDTL (one command), it is necessary to make some changes to the constitution and other laws and to establish new laws and regulations.
