JAKARTA – When the homecoming tradition is again allowed by the government, the enthusiasm of the community to return to going home is believed to be very high. This makes many houses in the DKI Jakarta area empty and abandoned by their occupants.

To anticipate crimes such as robbing and searching for empty houses (rumsong), joint officers from the TNI/Polri held a large-scale operation to secure the area in East Jakarta, Saturday, April 20 evening until early Sunday.

East Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Pol. Budi Sartono explained that the activity involved 70 joint personnel from the TNI/Polri for regional security ahead of Eid 2022.

"The targets are empty houses left by travelers, places prone to brawls, places prone to social security disturbances," said Budi Sartono in Jakarta, Sunday, May 1.

Budi added that the joint officers will patrol the streets, shopping complexes, and residential areas to prevent criminal acts.

"This activity shows the public that the TNI/Polri are not on holiday and are ready to secure their citizens who have returned home or who are still in Jakarta," said Budi Sartono, as quoted by Antara.

Meanwhile, Dandim 0505/JT Colonel Infantry Persada Alam confirmed that his party was ready to assist the police in creating a sense of security in the East Jakarta area.

"In addition to these patrols, we also monitor the TNI dormitories which are especially left by soldiers who are on leave so that all feel safe and conducive," said Persada Alam.
