In Papua, INP has implemented two security strategies in management of security disturbances so far. First, is Binmas Noken operation activity, which is to provide socio-economic support to the Papuan people, especially IP through a welfare approach. Second operation is law enforcement and security controls, especially in the central mountainous region of Papua. This area is known as a conflict area where ACG uses the area as their base for demonstrating brutal guerilla actions. This study is an evaluative and reflective managerial study of handling ACG which is a contribution of UBJ in carrying out its security-based vision and mission.
