Bali Police begins Green Policing programme in Kuta

Kuta — Bali Police Chief Pasma Royce led a Green Policing activity at the Baruna Disaster Shelter near Kuta Beach in Badung on Friday, 23 October 2026, bringing officers, environmental volunteers, beach-cleaning workers and local residents together to collect waste and plant trees.

Why it matters: Visitors, residents and businesses around Kuta can expect Bali Police environmental activities to continue every Friday morning, according to the reports.

The activity began at 7 a.m. and was attended by Bali Deputy Police Chief I Made Astawa, senior police officials, Kawan Alam Indonesia volunteers, local government representatives and the Kuta Beach Cleaning Task Force, according to Detik Bali.

Police said the programme was intended to strengthen public environmental awareness and bring officers closer to communities through practical action. Royce said the activity formed part of the first item among eight Quick Wins set by National Police Chief Suyudi Ario Seto: creating safe public spaces through a daily police presence.

The Bali Police said the environmental activity was planned to continue every Friday morning. The programme was also linked by police to Tri Hita Karana, a Balinese principle concerning harmony among people, nature and the spiritual world.

Tribun Bali reported that Royce and participants cleared waste and carried out greening work around the Baruna shelter on Jalan Kuta Art Market. The activity was presented as support for protecting the tourism environment, rather than as a new regulation or enforcement measure.
