JAMBI - Personnel of the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) of Merangin Regency, Jambi Province were asked not to wait for orders to work and to act immediately if they found something that was their main task.

"Members must be committed to their main duties and functions (tupoksi). No need to wait for orders to work, but act immediately when they see something that is their main task," said Merangin Regent Mashuri in Bangko, Merangin Regency, Antara, Tuesday, March 22.

This was conveyed by Regent Mashuri when he handed over contract extensions to 371 members of the regional Satpol PP which was valid until the end of 2022. The faces of the members of the Merangin Regency Satpol PP looked 'smiling' at the extraordinary ceremony held in the front yard of the Merangin Regent's office.

"Don't be happy just yet, because the implementation of the 2022 work contract will be re-evaluated," said Regent Mashuri.

The regent, who is a former teacher, hopes that with the submission of the work contract extension decree, it will spur new enthusiasm for as many as 371 Satpol PP members of Merangin Regency.

"The Satpol PP is the police of the ASN. So if it is not disciplined and violates government rules, what about its status as Satpol PP. Measure this within each of us," he asked.

He asked the Satpol PP to reprimand him if he saw people not wearing masks on the streets. But before reprimanding, make sure the reprimand has worn a mask. That is the parable of the discipline that the regent meant.

In addition, continued the regent, in securing regional regulations (perda), Satpol PP, whether requested or not, must make clear stages, when to carry out enforcement and when to conduct raids.

"When the community is disturbed, the road is shrinking due to traders selling on the road, hotels are violating the rules, people's diseases are rampant, the Satpol PP must act quickly," said the Regent.

The Regent asked all members of the Merangin Satpol PP to maintain the authority of the Satpol PP. The Satpol PP must be able to become role models for the community and the Merangin ASN.
