TIMIKA - Mimika Police Resort (Polres), Papua, did not hold a special security activity ahead of December 1 by some Papuans being commemorated as the anniversary of the Free Papua Organization (OPM).

"Facing December 1, everything is going as usual. Even if there is an increase in police activity, it will not be on a large scale. Don't think that the situation is so tense, so there needs to be special security," said Wakapolres Mimika Kompol Sarraju, in Timika, quoted by Antara, Monday, November 29.

Commissioner Sarraju said the security and security situation in Mimika over the past few months, since the XX PON and a number of other activities, was safe and under control. Residents are expected to continue their activities as usual and not have to worry too much.

"There is nothing to worry about too much. Everything is normal," said Sarraju.

So far the Mimika Police have not received any notification letters from certain groups or organizations that will hold activities on December 1.

"Until now there is none. Our intelligence unit continues to carry out detection activities regarding potential kamtibmas vulnerabilities, as well as other units are expected to continue to carry out their respective functions including conducting patrols to provide security guarantees to the people in Timika City," said Sarraju.

In particular, in the PT Freeport Indonesia mining area in the Tembagapura area and its surroundings, security has been tightened before December 1, 2021 by a number of task forces (tasks) stationed in the area, such as the Amole Task Force, Nemangkawi Task Force, Nanggala Task Force, and others.

"In the operational area of PT Freeport there is already security by the task force that is there, considering that PT Freeport is a vital object. There must have been anticipatory steps they took if there were things that could cause security disturbances to the company's operations," said Sarraju .
