The Indonesian National Police (Polri) has requested a significant budget increase of Rp 66.1 trillion (approximately $4.2 billion USD) for the 2027 fiscal year. The request was made during discussions with Commission III of the People's Representative Council (DPR) regarding the Work Plan and Budget of Ministries/Institutions (RKAKL). Details regarding the allocation of these additional funds were not immediately available. This proposed increase represents a substantial addition to Polri’s existing budget. The request is currently under review by the DPR, who will assess its feasibility and justification. Further deliberations between Polri and Commission III are expected to determine the final budget allocation. The substantial request raises questions about national spending priorities and security needs.
