Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Terorisme

Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Terorisme (BNPT) is Indonesia's non-ministerial government department, established in 2010, dedicated to preventing terrorism and radicalism nationwide. Headed by a Chief responsible directly to the President, the agency's mandate was elevated to ministerial level in 2012, underscoring its national importance. BNPT's core mission encompasses prevention, protection, prosecution, and de-radicalization efforts, working collaboratively with government institutions and the community. The agency operates with a revenue of $49.0M and employs between 500-1,000 individuals, reflecting its significant operational scale within the public safety sector.

The organization's strategic focus extends to combating financial crimes, a critical component in its counter-terrorism strategy. BNPT's commitment to implementing Law No.9/2013 in preventing terrorism by combating financial crimes was instrumental in Indonesia's exit from the 'Non-Cooperative Countries or Territories' (NCCTs) list by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in 2015. This achievement positioned Indonesia alongside G20 countries, validating BNPT's effectiveness in international financial crime prevention.

Operating within the Public Safety and Cities, Towns & Municipalities industries, BNPT leverages its expertise to foster national security. Its predecessor was the Counter-Terrorism Coordinating Desk (DKPT). The agency's comprehensive approach aims to create a secure environment by addressing the root causes and manifestations of terrorism.
