Crime Scene Investigation Equipment Case at POMAL Booth in TNI Fair Allows Visitors to See Up Close

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Visiting an exhibition booth is not always just about browsing. At the Naval Military Police (POMAL) booth during the 2026 TNI Fair at Monas, Central Jakarta, visitors can get an up-close look at the roles and advanced equipment used by POMAL personnel.

The booth, themed "Get to Know Pomal," catches the eye right at the entrance. Two large gray revolver pistol replicas stand on either side of the booth's gateway.

The replicas feature wooden-textured grips embossed with the POMAL logo. This installation has become a popular spot for visitors to take photos.

Inside, visitors can see various gear related to the Military Police's duties, including equipment used for processing crime scenes (TKP).

This equipment is housed in specially designed cases. Its contents include fingerprinting tools, gloves, sample collection instruments, ultraviolet lights, and magnifying glasses.

The display table also includes a narcotics detection device that can be used in the field.

All these tools are introduced to visitors along with explanations of their functions and uses.

Several mannequins are showcased wearing various POMAL uniforms and gear.

One mannequin displays Military Police or MP insignia, while others wear equipment related to peacekeeping troops.

An LED screen at the booth runs simulations of convoy escort operations conducted by POMAL personnel.

Visitors can also interact with a blue table displaying the Naval Military Police emblem, informational panels, and QR codes.

Visitors Can See POMAL Equipment Up Close

Alvin (28), a resident of East Jakarta, was among those interested in the forensic equipment at the booth.

He said being able to see the equipment firsthand allows visitors not only to recognize POMAL by their uniforms or duties but also to understand the tools they use.

"It's interesting because we can see directly the equipment POMAL uses. So, it's not just about the exterior, but we also get to know what the tools are for," Alvin said when met at the POMAL booth on Saturday (19/9/2026).

He admitted that he had not known POMAL possessed such equipment to support crime scene processing, including fingerprinting tools and devices to detect certain substances.
