He explained that this year's MotoGP security is packaged in Operation Mandalika Rinjani 2026, a cross-sectoral operation involving various elements to ensure that the entire series of MotoGP events runs safely, smoothly, and conductively. “The operation we are holding this time is named Ops Mandalika Rinjani 2026, which is a cross-sectoral operation for securing the international event Grand Prix of Indonesia (MotoGP) 2026 which will take place from October 9 to 11,” he said.
The security for MotoGP 2026 involves 2,678 joint personnel from various elements, ranging from the National Police, the Indonesian Armed Forces, local governments, related agencies to community elements. Operation Mandalika Rinjani 2026 itself will last for 12 days, from October 5 to 16, 2026, covering the stages before the MotoGP, during the event, and post-event security. According to the Police Chief, cross-sectoral involvement is an important part of ensuring that all aspects of security can run in an integrated manner, considering MotoGP brings not only racing activities but also the movement of tourists, spectators, racers, crews, and various supporting activities.

The Police Chief considered the MotoGP event as an opportunity for all stakeholders in NTB to demonstrate the region's ability to host an international-scale event. Therefore, the success of securing and organizing MotoGP will not only affect the reputation of NTB, but also bring Indonesia's image to the world. “This is the time for synergy of all stakeholders in NTB to prove that we have the capability as a host for an international event. The success we hope for later will not only be pride for the region and the people of NTB, but also a positive image of the country in the eyes of the international community,” the NTB Police Chief said.
