National Police Chief Orders Mutation of 54 Senior and Mid-Ranking Officers
National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Pranowo has carried out a reassignment of senior officers (pati) and mid-ranking officers (pamen) at the end of February. A total of 54 personnel have been affected by the mutation.
The reassignments of pati and pamen within the National Police are outlined in a single telegram letter (ST) from the Police Chief bearing the number ST/440/II/KEP./2026. The letter was issued on 27 February 2026.
“Mutation and rotation of positions within the National Police are normal aspects of career development, organisational refreshment, and efforts to improve the performance and professionalism of members in providing the best service to society,” said the Head of the Police Public Relations Division, Johnny Eddizon Isir, in a statement on Saturday (28 February).
The 54 reassigned personnel comprise three individuals in the evaluation/demotion category, 44 personnel receiving promotion or lateral moves at equivalent level, and seven personnel entering retirement.
In the reassignment letter, the National Police Chief has appointed Brigadier General Totok Suharyanto as Head of the Anti-Corruption Task Force (Kakortas Tipikor) of the National Police. He replaces Inspector General Cahyono Wibowo, who has been reassigned as a senior officer within the Task Force in preparation for retirement.
In addition, the position of Police Academy Governor, previously held by Inspector General Midi Siswoko, will now be held by Inspector General Daniel Tahi Monang Silitonga. In a position swap, Inspector General Midi will become Deputy Commander of the Police Education and Training Centre (Kasespim Lemdiklat).
Three officials have undergone position shifts as part of evaluation/demotion. These include Sleman Metropolitan Police Chief (Nonactive) Senior Commissioner Edy Setyanto Erning Wibowo, who has been reassigned to Senior Police Legal Analyst and Advocate, Grade III, Police Legal Division. The position of Sleman Metropolitan Police Chief will now be held by Senior Commissioner Adhitya Panji Anom.
Additionally, Bima City Police Chief Commissioner Didik Putra Kuncoro has been reassigned as a Mid-Ranking Officer in the Operational Support Division. It should be noted that Didik was previously subjected to an ethics inquiry regarding narcotic possession and received the disciplinary sanction of dismissal with dishonour (PTDH).
Furthermore, Bungo Police Chief of Jambi Police Commissioner Natalena Eko Cahyono has been reassigned to a Mid-Ranking Officer position within Jambi Police. The position of Bungo Police Chief is now occupied by Commissioner Zamri Elfino.
Isir emphasised that the reassignments of senior and mid-ranking officers have been conducted objectively and in accordance with organisational needs. “This step is part of the National Police’s human resource management strategy to ensure the organisation remains adaptive, cohesive, and responsive to future operational challenges,” he stated.
He also expressed hope that officials receiving new assignments would quickly adapt and demonstrate dedication and integrity in performing their duties.
“Leadership hopes that all reassigned officials can immediately work optimally, maintain internal cohesion, and continue to strengthen public confidence in the National Police,” Isir concluded.
