JAKARTA - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo ordered all his staff to be selective in granting crowd permits in the celebration of the New Year 2023. This is because the spread of COVID-19 is increasing again at this time.

"In securing New Year's celebrations, tighten the permit for crowd activities by conducting assessments, especially activities involving large numbers of people," said Listyo Sigit while leading the 2022 Candle Operations Ceremony at Monas Square, Jakarta, Thursday, December 22.

In addition to increasing transmission, the Bhayangkara Corps was also asked to be more vigilant with the emergence of a new Omicron subvariant, namely BN.1. Thus, the issuance of crowd permits must be tightened.

Not to forget, Sigit also asked all its members to sterilize all places of worship in the security scheme for the 2022 Christmas Day. Of course, by involving TNI, BNPT, Brimob, K9, and Densus 88 Anti-terror Police personnel.

"In addition, involve all elements of society including religious organizations in the security of Christmas worship as a form of religious tolerance," he said.

On the other hand, the detective unit is also asked to remain alert and protect residential areas. This is because the potential for criminal acts is quite high.

"So then we can carry out patrol activities to anticipate it, because the house was left for a long time then there was a security problem, so please report it and we will make it our patrol route," said Sigit.
