JAKARTA - As many as two hundred residents of the Setiabudi Sub-District, South Jakarta, held a meeting with local police officers regarding the procedures for anticipating crimes that have recently been rife. Especially for the owner of the boarding house to do extra security.

"We urge the boarding house owners to strengthen the security system," said Setiabudi Police Chief Kompol Agung Permana quoting Antara, Tuesday, October 25.

Agung reminded residents, especially those who have rooms for rent or boarding houses, to strengthen the security system by installing banners urging tenants or residents of boarding rooms not to park their vehicles carelessly and always use double locks on their motorized vehicles.

Not only appeal banners, but his party also appealed to install CCTV considering the rampant acts of motor vehicle theft (curanmor).

Meanwhile, to simplify and speed up the process of complaints or providing information in the event of an act of theft, the police chief provides his personal telephone number.

This appeal activity is part of the "Police Entering the RW" program which started last week and will rotate in every kelurahan every week.

"With the 'Police Entering the RW' activity, we hope to be able to synergize with residents to increase their awareness of each other's security," he said.

Agung explained that the counseling on security and public order (kamtibnas) was intended to maintain good relations between citizens and the police.

Residents are asked to be more vigilant to be able to take care of themselves and pay attention to vulnerable points that are suspicious or dangerous.

Residents are expected to be able to quickly report to the police if they find criminal acts in their vicinity.
