BOGOR - The eradication of drugs is still the biggest job for the National Police. Throughout 2026, the Bhayangkara Corps revealed 24,837 narcotics cases with evidence worth Rp. 10.4 trillion.
The data was conveyed by the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, when reporting the performance of the National Police to President Prabowo Subianto at the 80th Bhayangkara Day Ceremony at the Satlat Brimob Cikeas, Bogor Regency, Wednesday (1/7).
In the operation, the National Police arrested 32,792 suspects and seized various types of narcotics. The evidence seized includes 3.1 tons of methamphetamine, 4.1 tons of marijuana, 763 thousand ecstasy pills, 59.2 million hard drugs, and various other types of narcotics.
The National Police Chief said the total value of the evidence amounted to around Rp. 10.4 trillion. According to the calculation of the National Police, the disclosure saved around 89 million people from the threat of drug abuse.
Listyo said that eradicating drugs was one of the priorities that received direct attention from President Prabowo, along with cracking down on smuggling and online gambling.
In addition, the National Police is also handling a number of cases that are of public concern. Among them are allegations of violence against 110 children at a childcare center with 13 suspects, the kidnapping of a woman in Bandung, to the case of love scamming or romance-based fraud involving 39 suspects, including 11 foreign nationals.
According to the National Police Chief, strengthening the protection of women and children is also carried out through the development of the Directorate of Women and Children's Crimes and Human Trafficking Crimes (PPA and TPPO) in 11 Polda and 22 Polres. Most of these units are led by female police officers so that the handling of victims is more responsive and gives a sense of security.
