JAKARTA - Security challenges throughout 2022 are expected to increase from time to time. These challenges, among others, are increasing in a number of big cities, especially in Jakarta.

Regarding this, the TNI Commander, General TNI Andika Perkasa, ensured that his party would always fully support and assist the Indonesian National Police (Polri) in all efforts to address security challenges that occur.

"I definitely support it. Not only because we obey the law, but also because we have discipline in authority and all kinds of things that we must adhere to," said Andika, during a meeting with the Metro Jaya Police Chief, Inspector General Pol Mohammad Fadil Imran, in Jakarta, as reported by Antara, Sunday, March 6.

During the meeting, Inspector General Pol Fadil did say that the security challenges in 2022 are likely to experience an increasing trend. Therefore, the Metro Jaya Police, called Fadil, definitely needs assistance from the TNI to ensure that the national capital and surrounding areas remain safe and orderly.

"It's massive, if it's in Jakarta, the Commander in Chief. So if it's only our strength, it won't help. The 2022 agenda is already lively," said Fadil.

Meanwhile, in this meeting, the Regional Police Chief also reported the development of the case of the stabbing of a TNI soldier to death by a number of people in Muara Baru, Penjaringan, Jakarta. Fadil said that until now there is still one of the total six perpetrators who have not been caught and the search continues.

As is known, the ranks of the TNI under the leadership of Andika Perkasa continue to maintain synergy with the National Police, especially in maintaining security and order in the country, including in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

The close cooperation between the TNI and Polri can be seen not only in the various joint task forces, but also in the fields of education and training for soldiers and police, as well as in matters of leadership coordination meetings annually.
