BALI, WartaGlobal.Id — Bali is once again serving as an international meeting point for law enforcement professionals from various countries through the International Association of Women Police (IAWP) 2026.

The international forum provides an important platform for police institutions to exchange experiences, strengthen professional networks, and discuss the development of women in policing, leadership, human resources, and modern law enforcement.

Among the Indonesian police officers playing a strategic role in the organization of IAWP 2026 is Commissioner of Police Dr. Ary Fadli, S.I.K., M.H., M.Si., Head of the Special Tasks Section of the Bureau of Police Career and Human Resources Development, SSDM Polri, who also serves as Vice Chairman of the IAWP 2026 Organizing Committee.

His role places him within the organizational structure responsible for supporting the coordination and implementation of an international-scale police forum hosted in Bali.

Bali as a Platform for International Police Cooperation

The selection of Bali as the host location for IAWP 2026 carries significance beyond its status as an internationally recognized tourism destination.

The event provides Indonesia with an opportunity to strengthen institutional relations with police organizations and law enforcement professionals from different jurisdictions.

In this context, the role of the organizing committee is essential. An international forum requires careful coordination, professional standards, security arrangements, protocol management, logistical preparation, and effective communication among participating institutions and delegations.

The involvement of Ary Fadli reflects the role of Indonesia’s police human-resource and career-development institutions in supporting the successful implementation of the event.

More Than a Formal Gathering

IAWP 2026 is not simply a ceremonial international gathering. It provides a forum for the exchange of knowledge and professional experiences among police officers from different countries.

Issues surrounding police leadership, career development, organizational professionalism, innovation, community protection, and the contribution of women to law enforcement are increasingly relevant to modern policing.

As policing continues to face challenges involving technological development, transnational crime, international mobility, and growing public expectations, cooperation and knowledge exchange among law enforcement institutions have become increasingly important.

The Importance of Professional Organization

For an event of international scale, success is determined not only by the substance of the discussions but also by the quality of its organization.

The organizing committee carries responsibility for ensuring that the various components of the event operate in an integrated manner—from coordination and protocol to security, logistics, and services for international delegates.

As Vice Chairman of the IAWP 2026 Organizing Committee, Ary Fadli is part of that institutional effort.

The quality of the event will also contribute to how Indonesia is represented before the international policing community.

Women and the Future of Policing

One of the central dimensions associated with IAWP is the advancement of women within policing and law enforcement.

Women police officers are not merely representatives of gender diversity within an institution. They are also part of the broader professional capacity required to perform law enforcement, public service, community protection, and leadership functions.

International forums such as IAWP create opportunities for police institutions to exchange experiences and examine approaches to leadership, professional development, and organizational capacity.

For Indonesia, the forum also provides an opportunity to demonstrate the development of professional human resources within the Indonesian National Police.

Journalist’s Note

IAWP 2026 in Bali represents more than an international event on the calendar. Behind the forum is a complex process involving institutional coordination, human resources, professional standards, and international cooperation.

The role of Commissioner of Police Dr. Ary Fadli, S.I.K., M.H., M.Si., as Head of the Special Tasks Section of the Bureau of Police Career and Human Resources Development, SSDM Polri, and Vice Chairman of the IAWP 2026 Organizing Committee, forms part of that broader organizational effort.

Ultimately, the significance of an international forum lies not only in the scale of the event itself, but also in the knowledge, professional networks, and cooperation that can emerge from it.

Bali provides the international stage. IAWP 2026 provides the forum. And professional cooperation provides the substance.
