OKU - Ogan Komering Ulu Resort Police, South Sumatra has alerted 80 joint personnel consisting of members of the Criminal Investigation Unit, Intelligence Unit, Traffic Traffic Unit and Satshabara for security during Ramadan 1443 Hijriah.

"These 80 personnel include the task of anticipating the crime of stealing, stealing, and theft (3C)," said Police Chief Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) AKBP Danu Agus Purnomo in Baturaja, Monday, April 4.

Dozens of these joint teams will conduct patrols throughout the jurisdiction of the OKU Police to provide a sense of security for Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan 1444 Hijriah.

As for the mechanism for implementing the patrol, he said, it is carried out every day starting at 15.00 WIB until 18.00 WIB.

Then, the patrol was continued at 19.00 WIB to anticipate the occurrence of theft in an empty house where its occupants worshiped until 22.30 WIB.

Next, the team moved again at 03.30 WIB until 06.00 WIB which focused on illegal racing by a number of youths after dawn.

"This is also a concern because the moment after sahur is often marked by wild racing actions at several points in the Baturaja City area, so we must anticipate," he said, quoted by Antara.

Meanwhile, the Traffic Unit team has its own role, namely providing security against road congestion at several points which are allegedly crowded with visitors and buyers of Ramadan specialties.

"Like in City Park, there is a drum market. This point will certainly be crowded and traffic jams will occur," he said.

In addition, members will also provide security at places of worship to anticipate the theft of parked motorized vehicles when their owners pray in mosques or prayer rooms.
