The Indonesian National Police (Polri) has established a new Regional Police Headquarters (Polresta) in the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) area in East Kalimantan, alongside four new Type D Police Resorces (Polres).
Furthermore, Polri has upgraded the status of eight Type D Polres to Polresta. Brigadier General Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko, Head of Public Relations for the Polri Division, stated that the formation and upgrading of these regional units are strategic steps to strengthen police services to the community. He added that this move is intended to align organisational needs with regional development and increasingly dynamic public order and security challenges.
According to Telegram Letter number ST/1336/VI/KEP./2026, the position of Chief of Police for the IKN area has been entrusted to AKBP Supriyanto, who previously served as the Deputy Director of Marine and Air Police at the East Kalimantan Regional Police.
