Indonesian Police Establish New District in Nusantara Capital

Indonesia's National Police have established a new police district headquarters in the developing capital city of Nusantara, located in East Kalimantan. This strategic move includes the creation of four new Type D police precincts and the elevation of eight existing Type D precincts to full district status. The reorganization aims to bolster police services and align the organizational structure with the evolving needs and dynamic security challenges of the new capital region.

Brig. Gen. Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko, Head of Public Information for the National Police's Public Relations Division, stated that these changes are crucial for enhancing police services to the community. "Simultaneously, it adjusts organizational needs with regional development and increasingly dynamic security and public order challenges," he explained in a written statement on Friday. The new district commander for the Nusantara Capital Region will be AKBP Supriyanto, formerly the Deputy Director of Water and Air Police for the East Kalimantan Regional Police.

The four newly formed Type D precincts are located in Padang Lawas Utara, Sumba Tengah, Konawe Kepulauan, and Banggai Laut. Meanwhile, the eight precincts upgraded to district status are in Karawang, Batang, Klaten, Tuban, Sumenep, Gowa, Banggai, and Lombok Tengah. This restructuring follows a significant rotation, mutation, and promotion of 1,121 high-ranking and middle-ranking police officers, detailed across seven Telegram messages issued on June 25, 2026. Trunoyudo emphasized that such personnel movements are standard practice for career development and institutional improvement, aiming to enhance professionalism, leadership capacity, and operational effectiveness in serving the public.
