In his remarks, the Kapolda Metro Jaya welcomed all invited guests and attendees to Polda Metro Jaya.
“I also take this opportunity to express my appreciation and gratitude to the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta, Kodam Jaya and all other stakeholders who have been working hand in hand to create a Kamtibmas situation in Jakarta and its surroundings,” said Inspector General Fadil.
Inspector General Fadil said the implementation of the Christmas and New Year celebrations this time was slightly different from the previous year. In recent years, as we all know, in the past few years, people are still afraid of the shadow of Covid-19.
But this year a change will occur, and maybe it has already happened, as we can see together with the community, of course they will be more enthusiastic in facing Christmas and the New Year, starting from visiting relatives to celebrating Christmas Mass services and visits to several tourist attractions in the city of Jakarta.
“These activities will certainly cause potential disruption to the Kamtibmas,” said Inspector General Fadil.
However, said Inspector General Fadil, with the strategy of moving together, synergizing between agencies is one of the strong foundations we have in preparation for Christmas and New Year celebrations. “Christmas and New Year will be more mature and more prepared because they are faced together,” said Inspector General Fadil.
Kapolda Metro Jaya said, that his party would carry out Operation Lilin Jaya for 11 days, from 23 December 2022 to 2 January 2023. However, from now on his party has started to move even from a few days ago.
“We have started to move, the Polres together with the ranks of the Provincial Government and City-District Governments in the buffer zones have also started to collect data, especially churches for services and of course a series of candlelight operations. We have to be more careful and observant about these activities that we routinely carry out every year, such as assessments of locations that will later be used as places for Christmas celebrations and places for New Year’s celebrations. There are churches or other places that function as places of worship, then there are shopping places and of course tourist sites,” explained Inspector General Fadil.
According to Inspector General Fadil, there are several potential vulnerabilities or disruptions to the Kamtibmas that might occur during this Christmas and New Year celebrations. The first is confronted with Kamtibselcar then, the second is actions related to terror and acts of intolerance, demonstrations and some predictions of natural disasters that we must anticipate.
To address a number of these vulnerabilities requires a commitment to coordination and cooperation between all stakeholders starting from the Provincial Government, Security Forces including Business Actors to all other elements of society in order to realize the expected Kamtibmas situation.
Inspector General Fadil hopes, that this coordination meeting can unify the directions and steps in organizing the Lilin Jaya 2022 Operation so that community activities can be carried out in a smooth, orderly and conducive manner.
“Especially for our Christian brothers and sisters, the celebration of Christmas and New Year 2022 can be celebrated with joy and peace,” added Inspector General Fadil.
Kabid Humas Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Pol. Endra Zulpan added, Operation Lilin Jaya 2022, which began on December 23, 2022, deployed 7,421 joint TNI-Polri personnel and the Regional Government of DKI Jakarta.
“Previously, on December 22, a troop rally would be held at Monas and led by the Chief of Police,” said Kombes Pol Zulpan.
Kombes Pol Zulpan said, that during the Lilin Jaya Operation 2022, Polda Metro Jaya focused on two important activities. The first is Christmas security. For information, in the jurisdiction of Polda Metro Jaya there are 1,385 churches which are objects of security.
Then the second concentration is securing the turn of the year. There are several places that are the concentration of New Year’s activities that are open to the public. bembo
