DEPOK West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi emphasized the importance of cleaning the Depok area of all forms of thuggery, especially after the incident of burning a police car in Kampung Baru, Harjamukti, Cimanggis.

During his visit to the Depok Metro Police on Tuesday, April 22, Dedi emphasized that the strategic position of Depok which is directly adjacent to Jakarta as an entry gate to West Java. Therefore, security and public order (kamtibmas) must be a top priority.

Depok is a West Java storefront. We have to make sure the security and social order goes well, social problems don't stand out, and thuggery must be zero," he said.

Dedi also highlighted the population problem in Kampung Baru. He found that many residents had lived for years but did not have Depok ID cards, some even did not have an official identity.

Many have lived for decades, but their ID cards are still Jakarta or Bekasi. Some have no identities at all. This is a serious problem because it relates to the rights and access to public services," he explained.

To resolve this issue, Dedi plans to facilitate a meeting between the Depok City Government, the Directorate General of Dukcapil of the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the West Java Provincial Government to find concrete solutions.

"Premanism cannot be eradicated if the government is not orderly. This is a collective work. I make sure, Depok and West Java are serious about creating fair security," he said.

For information, incidents of vandalism and burning police cars in Harjamukti are of public concern. Deputy Mayor of Depok also revealed that thousands of residents in the area have not been officially registered as residents of Depok, so administrative arrangements are an urgent step.
