West Java Regional Police Public Relations Head Kombes Pol Ibrahim Tompo said the arrival of the wreaths was a good spirit for police officers in the field. People are also asked not to be afraid to eradicate terrorism.

"Because indeed we must not be influenced by acts of terror so there is no room for achieving the objectives of the acts of terror," said Ibrahim in Bandung, West Java, Friday, December 9, reported by Antara.

In addition to the expressions of support, a number of the wreaths also read condolences for a police officer who died, namely Aiptu Posthumous Sofyan. Meanwhile, Sofyan died about two hours after the suicide bombing after being rushed to the hospital because he was seriously injured.

"With the death of the deceased, who died while on duty, the rank was raised by one level, from Aipda to Aiptu," said Ibrahim.
