163 Part-Time Government Contract Employees in West Lombok to Become Civil Police Officers
A total of 163 part-time Government Contract Employees (PPPK) under the West Lombok Regency Government will be positioned as members of the Civil Police Unit (Satpol PP) of West Lombok.
The Head of the Regional Personnel Board and Human Resources Development (BKDPSDM), West Lombok Regency, Baiq Mustika Dwi Adni stated that the 163 part-time PPPK came from five regional organisational units (OPD) that were previously affected by a merger.
These units include the Labour Office, Housing and Public Works Office, Women and Child Protection and Family Planning Office, Food Security Office, and Youth and Sports Office.
“Around 163 people will be transferred to Satpol PP,” said Mustika on Tuesday (10 March 2026).
Mustika explained that the policy reflects the wishes of West Lombok Regent Lalu Ahmad Zaini, who desired to place one Satpol PP officer in every village and market to enforce local regulations.
“This is for Satpol PP in villages and markets, including forming a Quick Reaction Team (TRC). That’s why we need to increase personnel, and part-time PPPK will be transferred there,” he explained.
Mustika said the BKDPSDM team is currently conducting an inventory of part-time PPPK affected by the OPD merger to ensure they meet the classification criteria desired by Satpol PP.
“We are currently conducting an inventory, so the number has not yet reached 163, because there are specific classification criteria desired by Satpol PP, such as age, height and body posture for example,” he said.
Previously, West Lombok Regent Lalu Ahmad Zaini (LAZ) planned to create new regulations regarding the placement of Civil Police Unit (Satpol PP) personnel in his region. Under this policy, one Satpol PP member would be stationed in every village.
According to LAZ, placing Satpol PP in villages aims to monitor spatial planning to make monitoring and control by the West Lombok Regency Government easier.
“And including when there are social disturbances, they can be monitored,” added LAZ on Monday (2 February 2026).
LAZ hopes that Satpol PP personnel stationed in villages can work similarly to community police and military liaison officers, but remain consistent with their primary duty of enforcing local regulations.
He stated that the policy would be implemented in the near future, once the number of Satpol PP personnel in West Lombok increased to 250 officers.
Meanwhile, the Secretary of Satpol PP West Lombok, Fathurrahman, added that Satpol PP personnel would also be stationed in crowded centres such as markets and tourist areas.
He explained that each Satpol PP member would carry out natural disaster mitigation functions and monitoring of licensing compliance in their assigned areas.
“We will station them in villages, then in markets, crowded areas (tourism) and including their function to carry out early disaster mitigation, licensing and other matters,” he explained.
According to Fathurrahman, this policy will make it easier for the West Lombok Regency Government to monitor community social activities in the field. He gave an example that if there is a business that does not yet have a licence but continues to operate, a warning can be issued or enforcement action taken to ensure it quickly obtains the necessary permit.
Fathurrahman said that Satpol PP personnel deployed in each village would be directly coordinated by the Head of the Public Order and Security Section (Kasi Tantrib) in each sub-district.
