Metro Jaya Police Chief, Inspector General Fadil Imran

JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya prepares personnel for 24 hours to prevent criminals from targeting travelers during the 2022 Eid al-Fitr holiday season.

"We have also alerted our members for 24 hours so that we can minimize crimes such as drugging, fraud, pickpocketing, snatching, and so on," said Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Fadil Imran at Senen Station, Central Jakarta, Wednesday 27 April.

This was conveyed by Fadil when he visited Senen Station with the Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi and the Commander of the Jaya Regional Military Command Maj. Gen. Untung Budiharto.

Fadil also said that KAI had installed surveillance cameras or CCTV at several vital points and access stations to monitor and prevent crimes against prospective train passengers.

The combination of officers and the surveillance system via "CCTV" is considered effective in giving a fearful effect to criminals who try to target travelers who are busy preparing for their departure.

"All behavior that intends to commit a crime can be anticipated. Until now, I asked the head of the command post, especially Pasar Senen Station, there has been no crime report," said Fadil quoted from Antara.

Fadil said this was also supported by people who began to understand the importance of travel management when going home to celebrate Eid 1443 Hijriah.

"This is partly because community travel management, I think, has begun to realize how to arrange safe and comfortable travel," said Fadil.
