Polri Gains 79.2% Trust, Enforcement Against Illegal Fuel to Mining Receives Appreciation
In terms of law enforcement, the survey also recorded that 75.1 percent of respondents expressed satisfaction with Polri’s performance. This achievement indicates increasing public trust in Polri’s commitment to delivering firm, professional, transparent, and just law enforcement.
In the field of law enforcement against specific criminal acts, Chief of Police General Listyo Sigit Prabowo gave appreciation to personnel who conducted investigations into criminal acts that were one of the causes of natural disasters in Sumatra at the end of 2025.
It is known that there are six cases under investigation related to the causes of the flood disaster in Aceh Province and North Sumatra. The six cases include environmental criminal acts with the corporate suspect PT TBS in South Tapanuli Regency, forestry sector criminal acts with the corporate suspect PT Rimba Jaya, as well as other criminal acts with individual suspects who violated the Forestry Law.
In addition, the disclosure of criminal acts involving the misuse of fuel oil (BBM) and LPG, which was massively carried out across all regional police (Polda) jurisdictions and by the Bareskrim Polri team, also received extraordinary appreciation from various segments of society, because such law enforcement actions had a very positive impact on ensuring that subsidies were properly targeted to those in need.
Throughout 2025, Bareskrim and the regional police successfully secured 685 perpetrators at 583 crime scenes. In early 2026, from January to May 2026, Bareskrim and the regional police successfully secured 540 suspects at 424 crime scenes.
Furthermore, what also contributed to the increase in public trust was law enforcement related to the smuggling of tin sand abroad, which became a commendable achievement because it directly broke the chain of syndicates involved in the illegal shipment of tin sand overseas, which has previously caused enormous losses to the state amounting to around Rp 36 trillion per year, with an estimated 12,000 tons of tin sand sold abroad per year.
