JAKARTA - A head of the RW in Jembatan Besi Village, Tambora District, West Jakarta, held a competition for residents who managed to catch thieves in their residential areas.

Responding to this, the Secretary of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Dwi Rio Sambodo, assessed that this competition proves that the role of government officials and security in the community is still weak.

"Sayembara shows the weak integration of functions between the security apparatus apparatus and the local government apparatus and the people in this area," Rio told reporters, Monday, July 29.

Rio views that the catch of thieves made by the head of the RW also has the potential to cause conflict and take legal action against the lower levels of society. In fact, Indonesia is a state of law.

According to Rio, the DKI Provincial Government, in this case the West Jakarta City Government, according to Rio, must immediately carry out a thorough integration with the police and elements of the community to improve security in residential areas.

"Integrated security maximization must be implemented immediately. Both CCTV, and Siskamling must be carried out immediately," explained Rio.

Information about the thief catch competition is contained in the form of a banner spread across RW 01, Jembatan Besi Village.

In the banner, it is stated that residents who have succeeded in arresting motor vehicle thieves will receive a prize of Rp. 1 million at night and Rp. 500 thousand during the day.

For residents who managed to catch snatching or stealing charity boxes in places of worship, they received a prize of Rp. 500 thousand at night and Rp. 250 thousand during the day.

Prizes can be given if residents catch thieves by bringing evidence, victims, perpetrators, and witnesses to the RW 01 of the Iron Bridge device.

Hasanuddin, chairman of RW 01 of the Iron Bridge, initiated it. The reason is that the competition was motivated by residents' unrest by theft cases. Meanwhile, RT and RW devices are often blamed if there is an incident.

"If the motorbike is lost, RT, kamtib, hansip. Besides, RW staff are not active in all kinds. One month there were 4 motorcycle incidents. So we have a lot of reports to us, right. We think there," Hasanuddin told reporters.

Therefore Hasanuddin decided to make a competition with a gift that he stole from his own pocket.

"This is based on my own initiative and disbursement. The problem is in the funds. When they break down, they ask who paid, yes I said I paid. I don't have to take part. I have my program to pay. The important thing is that all RTs mobilize young people rather than hanging out is not clear," he added.
