Bali has once again confirmed its status as the safest province in Indonesia, receiving a high safety index score of 4.74 out of 5, making it the clear leader in terms of public stability and security in the country.
This score is based not only on the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies but also takes into account key factors such as freedom of speech, resilience to terrorist threats, and public trust in the police. While the average safety index in Indonesia is 4.18, Bali confidently remains at the top of the rankings.
Particularly noteworthy is the crime rate: in 2024, the crime rate in Bali dropped to a record low of 0.07%. According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), this is the lowest rate in the entire country. For comparison, in 2022, this figure was 0.20%, and it has continued to decrease since then.
Since 2020, Bali has maintained its status as the safest province in Indonesia in terms of crime rates. Supporting this is the overall decline in the number of crime victims across the country: in 2023, they accounted for only 0.45% of the population — the lowest level in the past 10 years.

Despite concerns related to recent demonstrations, the situation in Bali has fully stabilized. No tourist sites were damaged, infrastructure is operating normally, and the safety level remains high.
Bali Governor Wayan Koster emphasized that the demonstrations were local in nature and did not affect the tourism industry. "There are no longer any problems. Bali is a safe and welcoming island. Tourists from any country can confidently visit and enjoy the nature, culture, and hospitality of the locals," he said.
Alongside the strengthening of Balinese security, improvements are also noticeable on a national level. Since 2018, when the proportion of crime victims in Indonesia peaked at 1.11%, the country has managed to more than halve this figure to 0.45% in 2023.
This was facilitated by reforms in the law enforcement system, digitization of security services, and the involvement of local communities in maintaining public order.
