The results of this study are that the use of Indonesian among the police is not as fluent as when using informal language. This is due to their lack of good and correct Indonesian in their daily life. Even within them an uneasiness arises when speaking standard Indonesian. Even though it is very natural that they as government employees can use their national language and show their identity as the Indonesian Nation. The police as people who work for the government also use various technological devices to support work activities. The language of instruction in various technological devices is mostly English as an international language. In addition, several divisions in certain government agencies require mastery of English and other foreign languages according to their job duties]]>
