Bandung Police, West Java, deployed 1,200 personnel who would secure the match between Persib Bandung and PSIS Semarang at around 19.00 WIB at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium (SJH), Bandung Regency, Tuesday, February 27. "We have prepared 1,200 personnel to carry out security, later there will be three zones for inspection," said Bandung Police Chief Kombes Kusworo Wibowo in Bandung Regency, Antara, Tuesday, February 27. Kusworo explained that in the first zone on the highway, his party will conduct vehicle checks for drivers who have received match tickets and are only allowed to enter the SJH Stadium area. "After parking the vehicle, both at the water polo area, as well as in the east and south parking lot, the audience will walk and pass the inspection of the body or body checking," he said. Furthermore, said Kusworo, then the spectators were allowed to enter and another examination was carried out when they entered the stands in anticipation of things that were not desirable when the match was running. "So that those who are really allowed to enter are spectators who have tickets, and do not carry prohibited items or are not affected by alcohol," he said. Regarding liquor, Kusworo said that his party had also prepared tools to detect liquor or drugs. With this tool, it will be detected whether the person is being affected or not. "If there were spectators even though they had bought tickets and were affected by alcohol, the committee would send the audience home, and we would escort them out of the SJH Stadium,” said Kusworo. Therefore, he appealed to the audience not to consume liquor before entering the SJH Stadium and it is also hoped that it will not bring objects that are prohibited from entering the stadium area.

"The prohibited items include firearms, sharp, drugs, alcohol, food, and not even allowed. Drinks are not allowed unless the water will be transferred to plastic, so there will be no drinking bottles in the stands," he said.
