JEMBER - The Jember Resort Police dispatched the Kalong Team to guard the residents' settlements while the residents were going home so as to provide a sense of security for residents in Jember Regency, East Java.

"The team under the control of the Jember Police Satreskrim will carry out mobile patrols in several residential areas and villages," said Jember Police Head of Criminal Investigation Unit, AKP Dika Hardiyan Wiratama, quoted by Antara, Saturday, April 30.

During the homecoming residents usually the residential area becomes quiet so that such a situation creates new vulnerabilities such as theft and other criminal acts.

During the homecoming season and returning to the Lebaran holiday, his party remains committed to maintaining the safety of the residents by forming a Kalong Team that will patrol the community, especially settlements or residents of homes returning home.

According to him, the team that maintains the safety of residents while they are leaving for homecoming is given the name Kalong animal because it has its own philosophy, namely bats or large bats, whose senses of sight and smell are very sharp, especially at night.

AKP Dika hopes that the existence of the Kalong Team will be able to detect criminal acts that occurred in the community during the Eid 1443 Hijri holiday.

He appealed to people who want to go home and leave their homes within a certain time to report to the police, either through official social media accounts belonging to the Jember Police, such as Instagram and Twitter, or come directly to the Jember Police Satreskrim.

"This makes it easier for the team to carry out patrols and patrols in the area of residents whose houses are empty while they are leaving for homecoming," he said.

Kasatreskrim also urges people who will return to their hometowns to check everything in their homes, such as stoves, water taps, and electricity, as well as tell their neighbors.

Meanwhile, the Jember Police also received motorcycle care during the Eid 2022 holiday period which is valid from April 29 to May 9, 2022 with the location of the custody being at the Sumbersari Shooting Range, Jalan Letjen Panjaitan 46, Sumbersari District, Jember Regency.
