JAKARTA - The 2024 Sikat Agung Operation is an effort to suppress crime and realize Kamtibmas before the implementation of the 10th World Water Forum international activity in Nusa Dua, Bali. "This is our preparation for the 10th World Water Forum international activity. We created Kamtibmas and ensured that Bali was conducive," said the Head of Operations for the Regional Police (Polda) Bali Police Commissioner Soelistijono quoting Antara.

The 10th World Water Forum (WWF) will take place in Nusa Dua, Badung Regency, Bali on 18-25 May 2024. By taking the theme "Water for Shared Prosperity", the World Water Forum 2024 will present 290 sessions or parallel events that discuss various crucial water-related themes, namely water safety and prosperity; water for humans and nature; reduction and management of disaster risk; governance, cooperation, and water diplomacy; continuous water financing, as well as knowledge and innovation.

It is estimated that around 30,000 participants from 172 countries will attend this forum, including a number of invited heads of state. This forum is expected to produce new solutions and commitments to achieve sustainable and fair water management.

Soelistijono explained that the 2024 Sikat Agung Operation is an independent program in the field of operation to create a Kamtibmas situation in the community. In the second quarter, the activity was combined with preparations ahead of the implementation of the 10th World Water Forum activity.

"We at the Bureau of Operations in one year have a regional self-operation program budget six times. We determined the regional operation based on Anev's disturbance to Kamtibmas," said Soelistijono.

The former Director of the Bali Police (Dirpolairud) explained that based on the analysis and evaluation in the first quarter, the disturbance of Kamtibmas in Bali has increased.

Therefore, the Bali Police held KRYD (An enhanced routine activity) as a preventive effort carried out by the ranks of the Ditsamapta, Binmas, Polres ranks with activities such as Blue Light Patrol and three-pillar Patrol.

However, these preventive activities were deemed less effective so that during the second area of self-operation, the Bali Police held the Sikat Agung Operation with a target of 3C (Curat, curas and curanmor). As a result, the Bali Police and the Bali Police have succeeded in uncovering 115 cases and arrested 136 suspects.

Soelistijono said regarding the security of the World Water Forum, his party had prepared a joint operation scheme for the TNI-Polri and other stakeholders ranging from the arrival of delegates, the implementation of activities to the return of delegates to their countries. Likewise, security at the entrance to Bali is tightened so that the implementation of these international activities can be carried out successfully.

"We are all ready. The pattern is the same as the G20 starting from the arrival, implementation of activities to the return of the delegation," he said.
