inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Indonesian National Police (INP)'s performance in securing the demonstration on August 27, 2026, received praise from political analyst Boni Hargens.

Boni assessed that the INP, under the leadership of INP Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, were able to maintain security throughout the mass demonstration. He attributed this success to the coordination and cooperation between the INP, the Indonesian National Military (TNI), and the State Intelligence Agency (BIN).

"This could set a precedent for the future, demonstrating that coordination and collaboration between agencies is essential in maintaining security," Boni told the media in Jakarta on August 28, 2026.

Boni's term "black swan" refers to an unexpected event that could escalate into a serious security disturbance.

According to Boni, securing large-scale mass demonstrations cannot rely solely on one institution. It requires cooperation from various parties to anticipate potential disturbances early on.

He believes that cross-agency coordination involving the police, TNI, and BIN is a crucial factor in maintaining control.

Boni hopes this collaborative pattern can continue to be strengthened and serve as a reference in addressing potential security threats in the future.

Cooperation between institutions, he said, is crucial to ensure that any potential threats can be anticipated quickly and prevent them from escalating into larger disruptions.
