The way to clarify the concept of the human resources competence of The Indonesian National Police (POLRI) is believed to be a key factor in determining the success of the police organization. Currently, POLRI has implemented an open position promotion program which one of the stages uses the Assessment Center to exam managerial competence. This research aims to analyze the policies and impact of assessment center implementation in supporting of the open positions promotion. The Researchers apply qualitative approaches with data collection techniques in the form of observations, interviews and document studies. The results of the study findings concluded that the Assessment Center implementation policy in support of open promotion in the narrow sense has been implemented although incomplete. In a broad sense, the implementation of assessment center policies in supporting of open promotion has not been successful and has not given a positive impact. This is because The Indonesian National Police as a bureaucratic organization, does not fully have the organizational capacity that is the backbone of bureaucracy, which involves: organizational structure; mechanism of work; human resources; financial support as well as resources needed to work. These four elements have not been able to realize optimal conditions and support each other.
