inp.polri.go.id - New York. Amidst the increasingly complex dynamics of global security challenges, the Indonesian National Police (INP) has once again demonstrated Indonesia's active role in safeguarding world peace.
At the 2026 United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit (UNCOPS) at United Nations Headquarters in New York, USA, Indonesia affirmed its commitment to continue contributing to the mission of maintaining world peace through improving the quality of its personnel, strengthening international cooperation, and transforming the police force to adapt to technological developments.
On the second day of the 2026 UNCOPS, the meeting discussed three main issues, namely the future vision of UN Police, innovation and technology in policing, and strengthening international cooperation in facing various challenges of transnational crime.
In the “Vision for the Future of UN Police” session, the Head of the Indonesian Delegation, Inspector General of Police Amur Chandra, emphasized Indonesia’s commitment as one of the Top Police Contributing Countries (PCC).
Since 1989, 3,536 Indonesian National Police (Polri) personnel have served in various UN peacekeeping missions as part of Indonesia's contribution to maintaining global stability and security.
"Our contribution to global peacekeeping missions is a concrete manifestation of Indonesia's commitment to ensuring security as a foundation for global development and prosperity. With more than three decades of experience in peacekeeping missions, we will continue to improve the professionalism of our personnel, strengthen their capacity through the Indonesia Mission Training Center, and build international collaborations to ensure our readiness to face future security challenges," said Chandra, Head of the Indonesian Delegation, Head of INP's International Relations Division.
In the "Innovation and New Technologies in UN Policing" session, the forum emphasized the importance of utilizing digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the effectiveness of police duties, while upholding human rights, the rule of law, transparency, and accountability. Delegates were also encouraged to improve personnel capacity in cybercrime and digital forensics, as well as strengthening interoperability through information exchange and the use of digital platforms.
Meanwhile, the "Enhancing International Cooperation to Address Transnational Challenges" session resulted in an understanding that strengthening international cooperation, information exchange, capacity building, and joint training are crucial factors in addressing various forms of transnational crime, from narcotics trafficking and human trafficking to arms smuggling, cybercrime, and money laundering.
The active participation of INP in UNCOPS 2026 confirms that Indonesia contributes not only by sending personnel on peacekeeping missions but also actively shares ideas, experiences, and best practices in building a professional, adaptive, and community-oriented police force.
