JAKARTA - The Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya in the near future will coordinate with PT TransJakarta and toll road managers. This coordination is related to the installation of electronic traffic law enforcement (e-TLE) cameras.

"In the near future, we will hold a meeting with Transjakarta and toll road managers," said Polda Metro Jaya Traffic Director Kombes Sabodo Purnomo Yogo to reporters, Wednesday, February 3.

The coordination is to discuss the camera installation point. The plan is that the e-TLE camera will be installed in 10 busway corridors and toll road lanes in Jakarta.

In fact, it is targeted that the installation of the e-TLE camera will begin in March. This is in line with the implementation of e-TLE in 8 Polda throughout Indonesia.

"The initial plan, maybe in the second or third week of March, the Korlantas party will launch a National e-TLE involving 8 Regional Police," he said.

Previously, Polda Metro Jaya planned to add 50 e-TLE cameras. Although, currently 53 cameras have been installed in the DKI Jakarta area.

"Hopefully in the future there will be more," said Sambodo.

Sambodo said that eliminating the face-to-face repression pattern was also very useful during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus reducing the risk of transmission because there is no direct interaction between the offender and the officer.

"On the other hand, during this pandemic, e-TLE is very effective because it reduces the interaction between officers and the community to reduce the risk of transmission," he said.

"And in terms of transparency, this is extraordinary because it eliminates the negotiation process and so on between officers and the community because there is no meeting between officers and the community, so this increases the accountability of the Police," continued Sambodo.
