GARUT - The Garut Resort Police has prepared special personnel, namely the Sancang Team, to anticipate and take firm action against criminal acts such as thuggery that disturbs the comfort and safety of the public in tourist attractions during the New Year holidays.

"So we will organize our Sancang Team, including patrols," said Garut Police Chief AKBP Wirdhanto Hadicaksono to reporters in Garut, Antara, Tuesday, December 28.

Garut Police have made preparations by deploying personnel on highways, city centers and tourist attractions to provide a sense of security and comfort for the community during the New Year holidays.

Especially the potential for thuggery in the southern region of Garut, he said, is a police concern to anticipate it so that people feel safe.

"Thugs have become part of the vulnerability, including in the south," he said.

He added that his staff will take strict action against anyone who disturbs the comfort and public order, especially if there is a criminal element. "The action will be taken if, for example, there are facts of a criminal act," he said.

He conveyed that security for the new year in Garut has prepared a security post that is instructed to monitor and inspect vehicles from outside the city to the Garut area and tourist attractions.

In addition, he continued, nine Prokes Posts have been prepared in tourist attractions which are suspected to be a surge in visitors during the New Year holidays.

"We already have nine Prokes Posts in a number of tours which we project will increase," he said
