West Java (Jabar) Governor M Ridwan Kamil said that so far West Java has been relatively conducive and he invited the West Java Police Chief, who has just served as Inspector General of Police Akhmad Wiyagus for gaspol to maintain conduciveness.

According to him, adaptation is not so needed because Wiyagus previously served as Deputy Chief of the West Java Regional Police in 2019. "We welcome the return of Mr. Wiyagus, I don't think we need to adapt directly to gaspol," said Governor Ridwan Kamil as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, April 5. As is known, according to the telegram letter of the Chief of Police number ST/713/III/KEP/2023 dated 27 March 2023, Inspector General Pol Akhmad Wiyagus is trusted to return to Tanah Pasundan as the Head of West Java Police replacing Suntana who will promote the position as Commissioner General. Governor Ridwan Kamil then entrusted him to Wiyagus to maintain the achievements of the Head of the West Java Police previously in the collaboration to build West Java. "I entrust it to Mr. Wiyagus to maintain the achievements of Suntana of course in his new style, we fix what is lacking so that we can continue to build West Java," he said. The governor said, Wiyagus is not a new person in West Java. Apart from being the West Java Wakapolda for 1.5 years, the man who was born in Tasikmalaya on September 23, 1967 had served as the Head of Margacintang and Regol Police in the Bandung Polrestabes area in 1996 and Sumedang Police Chief in 2008. According to him, Wiyagus already understands the conditions of West Java. The optimistic governor of West Java's conduciveness will always be maintained in particular in dealing with political years. "He is not a new person and West Java. I am sure that he will always be conducive, especially this year and the next year when politics has warmed," said Ridwan Kamil. The governor said that every election event in West Java has never had a detached bullet, broken glass and spilled blood. This is thanks to the extraordinary work of the compact police ranks of one command. The record also mentions that throughout 2022 the crime number in West Java has only touched 7,500, even though the population is almost 50 million. The lack of the ratio of the number of people indicates that West Java is relatively safe and conducive.

Trusted to be the West Java Police Chief, for Wiyagus it is an honor. He is committed to continuing the achievements that the previous Kapolda had achieved. "For me this is an honor. I will continue what Mr. Suntana has achieved," said Wiyagus.

One of his commitments is that there will be no place in West Java for thuggery. Wiyagus admitted that he would be firm with anyone who interfered with West Java's conduciveness.

"Of course there is no place in West Java for thuggery. I will be firm," he said. In addition, protection, protection and services to the people of West Java as well as fair law enforcement. "Please pray and support from all of them," said Wiyagus.
