JAKARTA - The TNI and Polri are implementing a regional patrol scheme for security in Jakarta. From intelligence information there will be follow-up demonstrations against the ratification of the Omnibus Law on the Job Creation Act.

The implementation of the scheme begins by holding a troop rally at the Central Jakarta National Monument (Monas) Cross, Monday, October 12.

Kapolda Metro Jaya Inspector General Nana Sudjana said the troop deployment was aimed at synergizing the Indonesian National Police. So, the process of securing the action went well without any obstacles.

"We conduct joint patrols with the route from the DPR then around the city. With some at Monas and finishing at the DPR," Nana told reporters, Monday, October 12.

The security scheme was implemented because it is reflected in the demonstration which ended in chaos on 8 October. So, the TNI and Polri have prepared everything.

"(We) have carried out the Tactical Wall Game (TWG) to anticipate and map the safeguards for potential vulnerabilities," he said.

In addition, Nana emphasized that his party would guard the demonstration well. But if the masses have started to become anarchist, then his party will take action.

"From the start we will serve, guard and secure good action. But when they do anarchist, we will be patient and take action," he said.

However, the number of personnel to be deployed was not explained in detail. It only emphasized that security would adjust the number of participants in the action according to information from intelligence.

Meanwhile, Pangdam Jaya Major General Dudung Abdurachman said that his party would fully assist the Police in the security process. Especially when there is a potential for chaos.

"I emphasize to the TNI to fully adhere to the sapta marga and soldiers' oaths. Increase solidity between the TNI and Polri," said Dudung.

Dudung has instructed the ranks of TNI and Polri members to take action against suspected rioters in a professional, proportionate and persuasive manner.

"The rioters are only people who are used as tools to take advantage of the situation. Because I am sure students and workers are genuinely expressing their aspirations. We'll look for me who is a riot," he said.
