Indonesian National Police leadership and restructuring

Overview

Under the leadership of National Police Chief General Suyudi Ario Seto, the Indonesian National Police has conducted several large-scale rotations and restructuring efforts aimed at organizational refreshment and career development. In a major reshuffle formalized via a telegram on November 2, 2026, approximately 264 high-ranking and middle-ranking officers were rotated, with 224 personnel receiving promotions or lateral moves. This rotation includes strategic positions at the National Police Headquarters and various regional commands. Key appointments include Kombes Pol Gatot Sujono as Head of the Polri History Center and Kombes Pol Teguh Wibowo as Head of Headquarters Services. The reshuffle also affects six Deputy Regional Police Chiefs (Wakapolda) across provinces including Lampung, Gorontalo, and Papua Barat. A subsequent reshuffle was issued via Telegram Letter Number ST/2515/XI/KEP/2026 on November 9, 2026, involving 25 high-ranking and middle-ranking officers within the Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim), the Counter-Terrorism Unit (Densus 88), and the Police Education and Training Agency (Lemdiklat). Notable changes include the appointment of Police Commissioner Bismo Teguh Prakoso as Director of Certain Crimes, replacing Brigadier General Moh. Irhamni. Additionally, Police Commissioner General Syahardiantono and Police Commissioner General Yuda Gustawan were moved from the Presidential Staff Office to Lemdiklat Polri as Senior Policy Analysts. This reorganization follows the designation of former Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo as a suspect in an illegal wiretapping case targeting President Prabowo Subianto. General Suyudi has described the act as a “betrayal of the nation and the institution.” The investigation reportedly involves several high-ranking officials accused of conducting unauthorized surveillance on state officials, political figures, and media outlets. As of November 10, 2026, four high-ranking officers, including Listyo Sigit Prabowo, Irjen Ahrie Sonta Nasution, Irjen Eko Hadi Santoso, and Irjen Slamet Uliandi, have been named suspects.
