That's why the village head was asked to reactivate the siskamling. The livestock owners can also give specific markings for their livestock so that if there is a theft they can be identified more quickly.

"We ask the village head and his staff that if there is a potential disturbance that threatens the Kamtibmas, please immediately coordinate with Babinsa and Bhabinkamtibmas," Josua said as quoted by Antara, Friday, May 20.

On that occasion, he conveyed related to traffic accidents caused by livestock. The police chief said that in the last few months there have been at least 4 accidents caused by livestock.

Regarding livestock, it has been submitted to the local Kasatpol PP which is regulated and stated in Regional Regulation Number 26 of 2006 which explains that livestock owners are obliged to cage and supervise livestock. This means that if it is violated, there will be sanctions.

He said the village head was asked to disseminate information to the community and livestock owners in their area to guide the regulation because in the future the Satpol PP will control livestock together with the TNI and Polri.
