The West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police (Polda NTB) are placing\nthousands of personnel on standby to maintain public order during the\nMotoGP world championship event at the Mandalika Circuit, scheduled for\n9-11 October 2026.<\/p>\n
NTB Deputy Chief of Police, Brigadier General Hari Nugroho, stated\nthat the force is prepared to secure order throughout the MotoGP event\nin Mandalika. Regarding the potential attendance of the President of the\nRepublic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, official confirmation from the\ncentral government is still pending.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe arrival of the President cannot be confirmed yet; we are\nawaiting official confirmation. If he attends, the Korem (Military Area\nCommand) will serve as our primary backup,\u201d said Hari following a\ncoordination meeting for MotoGP preparations in Mataram on Monday\n(14\/9\/2026).<\/p>\n
He ensured that the public order situation in NTB ahead of MotoGP\n2026 remains safe and controlled. According to Hari, security efforts\nwill not only focus on the race period but will continue until\nspectators depart from the Mandalika area.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are ensuring that any potential concerns are kept under control.\nWe have placed 2,667 personnel on standby. Following the MotoGP event,\nas spectators return, security will be maintained by 840 personnel,\u201d\nexplained the one-star general.<\/p>\n
During the MotoGP security operation, Polda NTB will also receive\nreinforcements from the National Police Headquarters (Mabes Polri) and\ntwo regional police forces from neighbouring areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf there are other activities, we will assist in security. We are\nalso receiving additional security personnel assistance from the\nNational Police Headquarters and the nearby East Java and Bali regional\npolice,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
In addition to securing spectator flows and the race location,\nserious attention is being directed towards the potential for crime\ninvolving the distribution of counterfeit tickets and entry stickers,\nwhich occurred during the 2025 MotoGP.<\/p>\n
The police, Hari noted, have formed a special team to inspect all\nspectator tickets to anticipate any attempts by third parties to exploit\nthe situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegarding the counterfeit tickets and stickers from last year, we\nlacked a direct comparison for what the authentic stickers and tickets\nlooked like. If any discrepancies are found, we will take action.
