Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Indonesian National Police (INP) has established the Directorate of Cyber Crime  as part of its commitment to tackling rising cybercrime, according to the INP Public Relations Division Head of Public Information Bureau  Brigadier General Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko. 

He emphasized that the initiative aligns with INP Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo’s focus on addressing the increasing cybercrime cases in the country.

“The formation of the Cyber Crime Directorate is a response and commitment from the INP Chief to deal with the growing public concern over cybercrime,” said Chief Trunoyudo on Monday (23/9/2024).

The directorate will handle investigations and detection of cybercrimes, conduct cyber patrols, and promote digital literacy to prevent online crimes. It will also oversee investigations at the regional level, ensuring coordination and supervision of cybercrime cases handled by civil servants.

The units have already been established in eight regional police departments, including the Jakarta Metro Jaya Regional Police, North Sumatra Regional Police, West Java Regional Police, Central Java Regional Police, East Java Regional Police, Bali Regional Police, Central Sulawesi Regional Police, and Papua Regional Police.
