BANDAR LAMPUNG - Metro Resort Police (Polres), Lampung formed a Crisis Response Team (CRT) team to anticipate criminal disturbances during the 2024 Eid homecoming in the city.
"We have formed a CRT team specifically to anticipate criminal disturbances, both before Operation Ketupat, and after. This is so that when people are going home, the houses left behind are also safe, so that people will be comfortable when going home and when they return," said Metro Police Chief AKBP Heri Sulistyo Nugroho after the ceremony for the 2024 Ketupat Operations troops at Metro, reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, April 3.
His party has also mapped locations prone to criminal acts in the form of theft with weight (curat), violent theft (curas), and theft of motorized vehicles (curanmor) in Metro City, and later his party will carry out extra security ranging from patrols on highways to security at tourist sites.
"From experience in 2023, we have mapped the potential for vulnerability in all lines with local governments, from roads, then houses left behind, then tourist attractions and places of worship will be monitored. Then, before Eid al-Fitr, people will usually buy necessities for Eid preparation, and we will also provide security services so that people remain comfortable," he said.
He revealed that all sub-districts in Metro City have the same potential for security disturbances. Therefore, his party will take firm action against criminals in Metro City.
"So far, the trend is still sloping, but in general we are still anticipating all areas of potential crime disturbances in Metro. In 2023, Metro experienced a decline in criminal acts and this is thanks to the cooperation of all parties in making preemptive efforts such as reactivating poskamling, then preventive and law enforcement to provide a deterrent effect to the perpetrators," he said.
In addition, to anticipate traffic congestion during the Lebaran homecoming season, the Metro Police will deploy 93 personnel who will be assisted by the TNI, and various other parties.
