DENPASAR - The Bali Police sent two platoons of Brimob members to help secure the World Superbike (WSBK) at the Mandalika Circuit, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

Brimob personnel and tactical vehicles were dispatched on Tuesday, November 16.

"We also sent our troops, members from Brimob and some of our vehicles (assisted) to the NTB Police, in order to support the activities under the control of the NTB Police," said Bali Police Chief Inspector General Putu Jayan Danu Putra at the Bali Police Headquarters, Wednesday, November 17.

Intensify Patrol

The TNI and Polri continue to carry out patrols as an effort to improve security, comfort and public order in the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit area, Kuta Mandalika, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

Central Lombok Police Chief AKBP Heri Indra Cahyono said the joint TNI-Polri patrol was carried out in accordance with the direction of the NTB Police Chief to maintain security and security conditions, especially in the Loteng area.

The appeal for health protocols and traffic regulation is one of the mandatory activities carried out to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and anticipate accidents in the circuit area.

In addition to the TNI and Polri, the patrol involved several other related elements such as Pol PP, the Transportation Service (Dishub) and the Health Office (Dinkes) from Central Lombok and the NTB provincial government.

"The purpose of this patrol has three things, namely a show of force to maintain security and order, prokes and traffic security issues. We will show the public that Loteng is ready to carry out and secure this international event," he said, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, November 16.

Since the issue of Kamtibmas is the responsibility of the TNI-Polri, similar patrols will continue to be carried out by the Loteng Police, even though the event is not currently being held.

"The attic is the host of this event. So we ask the community to be good hosts. Able to welcome guests who come in a friendly and polite manner. Because tourist visits have an impact on the economic recovery of our area," said AKBP Heri Indra.

The NTB Regional Police and the Regional Police, especially in Central Lombok, formed 3 joint patrol groups with special specifications, namely the joint patrols of Kamseltibcarlantas consisting of Polantas, Sabhara, TNI and Dishub tasked with unraveling traffic jams in the lanes around the circuit location.
