Indonesian National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has undergone several organizational developments. In early August 2026, he was inducted as an honorary member of the Islamic organization Muhammadiyah to strengthen ties between the police and the group. 

Simultaneously, General Prabowo implemented a large-scale reshuffle involving 146 officers, including promotions for several officials to Brigadier General. While these rotations were described as efforts toward organizational refreshment and career development, rumors regarding the replacement of the National Police Chief emerged. The Indonesian government and parliamentary leaders have denied these rumors, stating that no presidential letter has been issued to change police leadership.
