The Bengkalis Police Department (Polres Bengkalis) underwent internal disciplinary actions and a leadership transition in late September 2026.

Initially, the department sanctioned several personnel from the Rupat Sector Police following proven duty violations. Bengkalis Police Chief AKBP Fahrian Saleh Siregar stated these measures were intended to maintain “discipline, professionalism, and public trust” within the Indonesian National Police.

Following these events, a leadership handover occurred at the Riau Regional Police Headquarters. AKBP Eko Rubiyanto was appointed as the new Bengkalis Police Chief, succeeding AKBP Fahrian Saleh Siregar, who was reassigned to serve as the Deputy Police Chief of Sidoarjo in East Java.
