BANDUNG - Bandung City Government together with the Bandung City Resort Police (Polrestabes) launched the RW Police program. A total of 1,600 police officers will be assigned to 1,558 RW areas to maintain the conduciveness of the Flower City. The Daily Executive of the Mayor of Bandung, Ema Sumarna, appreciates and supports this step, especially in 2023 it is a political year and 2024 the time of the democratic party so that guaranteed conduciveness is needed. Especially with the many entrances to Bandung which reach 22 accesses. "Bandung has about 22 entrances from all directions, with very high mobility, we must optimize the aspect of vigilance against threats and disturbances, especially this year's political year, and next year we will enter a democratic party in Bandung, so the city of Bandung also participates in it, so conduciveness is a necessity," said Ema Sumarna at Bandung City Hall, Antara, Thursday, May 11. The presence of the RW police, continued Ema, was an extraordinary idea, innovation and strategy to make it easier for the public to access information from and for the ranks of the Police. "Because the police's big task is to present security and security in the community. With this, if there is any disturbance in security and order in the community, it can be directly conveyed to the RW Police," said Ema. Even though it was deployed to 1,600 officers, Ema said it would still be less, therefore the participation of the community was also crucial in maintaining Kamtibmas in the city of Bandung. Because, he added, the increasingly conducive condition of the city can accelerate development and the economy which ultimately gives welfare to its citizens. "If the situation is safe then any development activities, as well as the economic situation, will be better. We will have a great opportunity to be better," he said. Meanwhile, the Head of Bandung Police, Kombes Pol Budi Sartono, said that the RW Police were present as a facilitator to solve various problems that were in the community, and to link information between police institutions and residents. Whether it is related to allegations of crime, disturbances to the community, to problems between neighbors. "People can directly contact the RW Police if there is a disturbance in Kamtibmas in their area," he said. Later, said Budi, the RW Police will coordinate with the heads of RW and Bhabinkamtibmas. He requires these RW Police to go directly to the field at least twice a week.

"The heads of the RW later if there is an incident of abuse of alcohol or other disturbances, they can directly contact the RW Police. This is our effort to accelerate security and order in the city of Bandung," he said.
