Polda East Java Bagstrajemen Technical Guidance Highlights Sidoarjo’s 2025 Strategic Data, Demographic Bonus in the Spotlight
Sidoarjo — The East Java Regional Police held a Bagstrajemen Technical Guidance (Bimtek) on Thursday, 15 January 2026, at Fave Hotel East Java, Sidoarjo. The activity was attended by various cross-agency stakeholders as part of efforts to strengthen data-driven planning and decision-making.
On this occasion, the Head of Statistics Indonesia (BPS) Sidoarjo Regency, Mohammad Ismail, served as a resource person and presented Sidoarjo Regency’s 2025 strategic data. The presentation highlighted the dynamics of regional development, reflecting both achievements and challenges that require collective attention.
One of the key points raised was the possibility that Sidoarjo Regency has passed its demographic bonus phase. However, this condition contrasts with the region’s achievement in human development, as Sidoarjo recorded the highest Human Development Index (HDI) among all regencies in East Java Province.
“This is an interesting phenomenon. On the one hand, the demographic structure may no longer be as ideal as before, but on the other hand, the quality of human development continues to improve. These data need to be interpreted carefully and used as a basis for future policy formulation,” Mohammad Ismail stated during his presentation.
He also emphasized the importance of inter-agency collaboration in utilizing statistical data as a foundation for more adaptive and sustainable planning.
The event received positive feedback from participants. One of the attendees, AKP Dwi Prasetyo, said that the data presentation by BPS provided new perspectives on understanding regional development challenges.
“So far, we have focused more on technical and operational aspects. Strategic data presentations like this broaden our insight that future policies and planning must truly be data-driven, especially in responding to changes in population structure,” he explained.
Another participant, Kompol Rina Mahendra, also highlighted the relevance of the discussion on demographic bonus and HDI to institutional strategic planning needs.
“The data presented were very comprehensive and up to date. This is an important input for us to align organizational policies with the socio-economic conditions of the region,” she said.
Through this Bagstrajemen Technical Guidance, the East Java Regional Police hope to further strengthen inter-agency synergy and ensure that the use of statistical data becomes a primary foundation in supporting development and improving public services in Sidoarjo Regency.
