"Customers who will enter will be investigated with Pamdal, properly check their belongings. We serve them politely with the congregation who will enter the Cathedral Church," he said in Jakarta, Thursday, May 9, quoted from ANTARA. Dhanar said this security involved 59 personnel. He also appealed to the congregation who saw suspicious people to immediately report to the police for immediate treatment. "It is hoped that worship activities at the Cathedral Church will run smoothly, safely and conducively," said Dhanar. Apart from the Cathedral Church, the Sawah Besar Police also alerted personnel to secure the worship activities of the Ascension of Jesus Christ in a number of churches in Central Jakarta. Among others, at the Immanuel Gambir Church as many as 49 personnel and the Santa Theresia Menteng Catholic Church around 22 personnel.
