Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Indonesian National Police (INP) is bolstering its transformation into a modern and adaptive institution by expanding a national network of 79 Police Study Centers in collaboration with universities across Indonesia.

"The INP’s transformation requires a strong foundation of knowledge," said INP Head of the Public Relations Division Inspector General Johnny Eddizon Isir, on Friday (24/7/2026). "This ecosystem becomes an important foundation for the birth of innovation, doctrine development, and science-based police policies."

The initiative includes 40 active centers, five awaiting signatures, and 34 in development, complemented by 16 thematic study centers at the Police Science College (PTIK). 

Riau Regional Police Chief Inspector General Herry Heryawan highlighted the addition of Riau's Police and Environmental Study Center, which advances Green Policing through prevention, law enforcement, and restoration. 

Operating as a living laboratory, the Riau center focuses on ecological security, addressing climate change, forest fires, and environmental crimes.
