Central Java Police has deployed 22,680 police officers who will be tasked with securing the implementation of the 2026 Candi Ketupat Operation.
Central Java Police Chief Brig. Gen. Latif Usman said the presence of the National Police was needed to provide services, protection, and ensure public safety.
"Therefore, mobility at strategic points such as ports, airports, terminals and crowded centers is a priority for security," he said as quoted by ANTARA.
Operation Ketupat Candi, he said, is planned to be held from March 13 to 25, 2026.
He said the police had prepared various strategic steps to support the smooth operation.
According to him, the placement of security posts in vulnerable and strategic locations, supported by the strength of the troops, strengthens security in the field.
He said the police were not only focusing on security and traffic flow.
The Central Java Police, he continued, also paid attention to the availability of basic goods and fuel, in order to anticipate potential price spikes and hoarding practices ahead of Eid.
Meanwhile, the Head of Public Relations of the Central Java Police, Kombes Pol. Artanto said the success of Operation Ketupat Candi 2026 was not only measured by the smoothness of traffic flow, but also by the sense of security felt by the community.
The presence of officers in the field, he continued, must really be felt by the community.
