Ditpolairud Polda Kaltara Jalin Cooperation With PDRM, Buru DPO To Handling TIP

TANJUNG SELOR - North Kalimantan Regional Police (Polda) collaborated with the Malaysian Royal Police (PDRM).

The cooperation is related to the handling of criminal acts that occur at the border, especially the territorial waters of the two Indonesian-Malaysia countries.

Director of Polairud Polda Kaltara Kombes Bambang Wiriawan revealed, in addition to handling crime and crime, including drug trafficking issues, border water traffic cooperation was also carried out.

"Like the problem of seaweed at the border, it is also a matter of traffic at the border. We are also collaborating regarding the handling of drug cases revealed in Kaltara from goods sourced from Malaysia," he said, Thursday, March 14.

Drug offenders who have not been caught are also in neighboring Malaysia.

"This cooperation has been signed between the Directorate of Water and Air Police (Dit Polairud) of the North Kalimantan Police and the PDRM Marine Policy in a joint meeting held in Tawau, Sabah, Malaysia some time ago," said Bambang.

"With the Marine Policy, we exchange communication and information. As one of them we managed to reveal, it is part of the information provided by PDRM. This includes hunting fugitives who are on the wanted list (DPO)," he continued.

Bambang emphasized that the Malaysian police are ready to help track if the perpetrator uses the Malaysian code (+60) mobile phone number.

"There are several suspected perpetrators that we revealed, using the Malaysian phone code. Well, we inform PDRM, they are ready to help find it. Vice versa," he said.

Evidently, as was the arrest of the perpetrator of a criminal act from Malaysia who was caught by members of the National Police in Nunukan who had been sent to Malaysia or handed over to PDRM.

Another problem that is part of the cooperation between the police in the waters of the two countries is the handling of the seaweed area which is on the sea border line between the two countries.

"For this reason (the security of the seaweed area) we are both guarding. Because there are indeed many areas on the border line. We need to do security, especially to avoid conflict," explained Bambang.

Representatives from the North Kalimantan Regional Police, led directly by the Director of Polairud Polda Kaltara Kombes Pol Bambang Wiriawan, accompanied by the National Police Attache in Tawau (Malaysia) and the Nunukan Police Chief, held a cooperation meeting with the PDRM Marine.

"This border security is very important, considering that so far crimes have often occurred in border areas. Such as human trafficking, and especially drugs. Moreover, drug cases have been revealed in Kaltara to large quantities (evidences), most of which are from Malaysia that enter through Nunukan," he concluded.
