In carrying out the patrol, said Cusril, the animal police used two sniffer dogs to help detect suspicious activities or potential criminal acts.
Their presence, he said, is expected to provide a deterrent effect for criminals, as well as increase a sense of security for residents who are leaving their homes on their homecoming trips.
He explained that Operation Ketupat Anoa 2024 showed the police's commitment to maintaining security and order during the 1445 H Eid Al-Fitr holiday period.
"By involving sufficient personnel and carried out at strategic points, it is hoped that this operation can reduce the potential for criminal acts and traffic accidents during the holiday period," he said.
He said that the patrol activity was part of the police's efforts to maintain security and order in their area, as well as provide protection to the community.
"With patrols in residential areas and strategic locations carried out in the implementation of Operation Ketupat Anoa 2024, it is hoped that it can create a safe and comfortable environment for all residents of Kendari City," he added.
