Bali - The Bali Regional Police deployed 965 personnel to support security for the ogoh-ogoh parade on the night of the Saka 1948 Awakening in Denpasar, Wednesday.
This additional strength is alerted to strengthen the Denpasar Police to ensure that all series of activities run safely, orderly, and smoothly amid the increasing community activities.
Head of the Bali Police Operations Bureau, Police Commissioner General Soelistijono, during the readiness call of the troops at the Bali Police Headquarters, Wednesday, emphasized that the implementation of the Ketupat Operation in Bali had a special characteristic because it intersected two major religious moments, namely Nyepi and Idulfitri.
"Today we will secure the ogoh-ogoh parade from afternoon to evening, even possibly until morning. We back up the Denpasar Police in six points so that all activities run safely and smoothly," he said.
The six security points include Simpang Catur Muka, Simpang Tohpati, Simpang Cokroaminoto-Maruti, Simpang Teuku Umar, Simpang Kamboja-WR Supratman, and Simpang Pasar Sanglah.
He reminded all personnel, both those involved in the Ketupat Operation and the thickening of troops, to carry out their duties with full responsibility and report every development of the situation in stages.
In addition, the humanist approach is also the main emphasis in the implementation of security.
Personnel are asked to maintain their attitude and words in order to maintain public confidence in the National Police.
"The presence of the National Police must provide a sense of security and comfort. If there are problems, approach them," he said.
Meanwhile, Head of Public Relations of the Bali Police, Kombes Pol. Ariasandy said that this security was not only focused on security aspects, but also maintained social harmony in the midst of a diverse Balinese community.
According to him, the synergy between security forces, local governments, and the community is the key to success in security.
"Polda Bali invites all people to jointly maintain order and respect each other in the implementation of this religious celebration," he said.
