Hansip (Indonesian: Pertahanan Sipil, lit. 'Civil Defense') was a type of local security officers of an administrative village in Indonesia.
Based on Presidential Decree No. 55/ 1972,[1] Hansip is part of the defense and security component in Total Defense and Security System.

Hansip works in coordination with other groups - the police and pecalang (in the case of Bali), the latter being redirected from more mundane tasks like traffic direction to extra policing of large events.
