According to Wiyagus, geopolitical dynamics, economic uncertainty,\nclimate change, and the acceleration of technological transformation\ndemand accurate and accountable data-based decision-making.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is why we, as leaders, can no longer rely on conventional\nmethods in deciding something, but must truly be data-based. When\nspeaking of technocracy, decisions must be based on facts and data,\u201d\nWiyagus said in a written statement on Friday (19\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n
He conveyed this during the 2026 Police Staff and Leadership School\n(Sespim) Seminar at the Police Education and Training Institute\n(Lemdiklat Polri), themed \u2018Data-Based Leadership to Face Global\nVolatility in Order to Realise Domestic Stability\u2019, held at the Oetaryo\nBuilding in Lembang, West Bandung Regency, West Java.<\/p>\n
Wiyagus explained that the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri)\ncontinues to strengthen the integration and utilisation of population\nand regional data to support effective governance while maintaining\nnational stability.<\/p>\n
He added that integrated population data plays a crucial role in\nsupporting public services and law enforcement, ranging from identity\nverification and individual identification to case disclosures, which\ncan be carried out more quickly, accurately, and accountably through\ndigital technology support.<\/p>\n
Wiyagus also highlighted the growing threats in the digital space in\nline with changes in the global strategic environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most significant impact of this phenomenon is the massive\nmigration of crime to the digital ecosystem, such as online fraud, human\ntrafficking, and artificial intelligence-based disinformation,\u201d Wiyagus\nstated.<\/p>\n
According to Wiyagus, law enforcement officers need to prioritise\nadaptive leadership by utilising data and technology in real time for\ndecision-making, both for the prevention and handling of security\ndisturbances.<\/p>\n
In line with this, Kemendagri continues to provide population data\nutilised by various ministries and agencies, including the Indonesian\nNational Police (Polri).<\/p>\n
\u201cThis population data is integrated as a strategic infrastructure and\nthe backbone supporting police duties,\u201d Wiyagus stressed.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, he said, the strengthening of this data governance is\nsupported by various national regulations that form the basis for data\nintegration and the acceleration of digital government\ntransformation.<\/p>\n
On another note, Wiyagus invited the participants of the Police\nSespim Lemdiklat to strengthen inter-agency interoperability, comply\nwith regulations in the use of public data, and increase public trust\nthrough professional, accountable, and technology-based services.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/deputy-home-affairs-minister-population-data-integration-strengthens-security-stability-1781873577", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
