Bali Police and HFLA Strengthen Foreign National Surveillance Through Cakrawasi Website
The Intelligence and Security Directorate (Ditintelkam) of Bali’s Regional Police Headquarters collaborated with the Indonesia Hotel Frontliners Association (HFLA) Chapter Bali to conduct a socialisation programme on the utilisation of the Cakra Foreign National Surveillance website (Cakrawasi) at Quest Hotel San Denpasar on Wednesday, 11 March 2026. This collaboration was established to strengthen monitoring of foreign nationals and safeguard tourism security in Bali.
Acting Head of Sub-Directorate IV of Ditintelkam Bali Police, Senior Commissioner Ni Luh Komang Sri Subakti, stated that Bali, as a world tourism destination, is visited by millions of international tourists annually. The high mobility of foreign nationals in Bali has a positive impact on economic growth and tourism development. However, it also potentially creates various security vulnerabilities that require joint anticipation.
Surveillance of foreign nationals, Sri Subakti clarified, cannot be carried out by police apparatus alone, but requires support and active participation from various stakeholders, particularly those in the tourism industry who are at the frontline in providing services to tourists.
Ditintelkam Bali Police utilised this activity to promote the Cakrawasi website as a technology-based reporting system that can be used to support data collection and monitoring of foreign nationals in Bali, whilst also encouraging public participation in providing information regarding foreign national activities.
The technical operational procedures of the Cakrawasi website were presented by a member of Sub-Directorate IV of Ditintelkam Bali Police. Technical system explanations were subsequently provided by the IT team of PT Paiza Indonesia Maju, which is expected to facilitate tourism industry practitioners in conducting reports and coordinating information regarding the presence of foreign nationals in their respective environments.
Through this collaboration, it is hoped that increasingly strong synergy will be built between Bali Police and tourism industry practitioners in maintaining security, order, and stability of Bali’s tourism sector as a safe and comfortable world-class tourism destination.
The Head of HFLA Chapter Bali, I Kadek Suparta, expressed appreciation to Ditintelkam Bali Police for conducting the socialisation activity. According to him, this initiative is highly beneficial for tourism practitioners, particularly hotel frontline staff who interact directly with international tourists on a daily basis.
Suparta stated that the Cakrawasi programme represents a positive step in strengthening the security system, monitoring, and protection of tourists visiting Bali. He also hoped that synergy, communication, and commitment between Ditintelkam Bali Police and HFLA Bali would continue to be maintained to support the creation of security and comfort within the tourism sector.
