The choice of the next chief of the National Police (Polri) is thought to be a political matter. The candidates for the country’s top police officer seem to have their own campaign teams. This can be seen from the large amount of "news" circulating in cyberspace that appear to be favoring certain candidates while exposing the weaknesses of others. One poster even said that the 2021 pick of the National Police chief was like a regional election. Speculation is rife.
