The Indonesian National Police (INP) and the Indonesian Food and Drug Agency (BPOM) signed a strategic joint initiative to strengthen supervision and enforcement over controlled prescription medicines, illegal cosmetics, and public food distribution in Jakarta on Monday (2/1/2026).

The collaboration was formalized during a high-level meeting between INP Chief General Suyudi Ario Seto and BPOM Head Taruna Ikrar at the INP Headquarters in Jakarta.

"We are committed to strengthening our cooperation through real-time information exchange, stricter monitoring, and equitable law enforcement," said Chief Suyudi.
