Police Headquarters Candle Ops Supervision Team Review Kalikangkung GT

The Candle Operations 2023 Supervision Team from the National Police Headquarters reviewed the Kalikangkung GT to check the readiness of the Central Java Police to secure community activities during the Christmas and New Year holidays on Sunday, December 24.

The team was led by the Head of the Supervision Team of the Director of Samapta Korps Sabhara Baharkam Polri Brigadier General Rudy Antariksa and received directly by Karo Ops Polda Central Java Kombes Pol Basya Radyananda as Karendal Ops Daerah, accompanied by a number of PJU and all Kasubsatgas and personnel of the 2023 Candi Candle Ops Subatgas.

"The purpose of supervision is to ensure that regional staff carry out operational activities that have been well planned by the National Police Headquarters so that the way of acting and holding personnel is in accordance with the SOP set," said Brigadier General Rudy Antariksa, in a written statement, Sunday, December 24.

According to him, the potential movement of people during the Christmas and New Year's (Nataru) holidays this time has increased 2.5 times compared to last year.

"The prediction of the peak of the Nataru homecoming flow on December 22-23, while for the backflow on December 26-27 and January 1-2," he said.

However, the number of people's movements has not been as much as the Lebaran holiday, so the implementation of the One Way from Korlantas is deemed unnecessary.

"It is still enough through current engineering and contra flow efforts," he said.

Based on observations made, the security and social security situation in several areas has increased as a result of the increasing political situation in the 2024 election process.

It is stated that the challenges of the police's duties are increasingly complex. In Candle Ops, not only secure places of worship and homecoming, but also anticipate terrorism, handling natural disasters and community food security.

"We need all of our readiness. In addition, we must anticipate security in tourist attractions, vital objects and residential areas," he continued.

He asked all ranks not to be careless because all of this requires the readiness of the Police to create harkamtibmas in the community.

It is hoped that the implementation of police operations that will be held will provide a sense of security and comfort for the community during the Christmas and New Year holiday season.

"The indicator of its success is that disturbing crimes have been suppressed, the decrease in the number of traffic accidents, and the fulfillment of the basic needs of the community, especially fuel," he said.

In carrying out the operation, his party requested the integration of all functions involved, including the involvement of relevant stakeholders.

"Based on the instructions of the Kapolda, our personnel involvement is divided so that the operation activities run smoothly," said Kombes Basya in his presentation.

It was stated that apart from members of the National Police, the temple wax ops also involved personnel from the TNI and related agencies.
