PEKANBARU In commemoration of the 70th Bhayangkara Traffic Day in 2025, the Riau Police Traffic Directorate carried out the Police Goes To School and Green Policing programs in a number of SMA/SMK Pekanbaru City on Monday 8 September.

The activity started at 08.00 WIB, with Ditlantas staff acting as daily ceremony supervisors while conveying traffic safety messages.

Traffic Ordered Education

On this occasion, Ditlantas provided education about Kamseltibcarlantas to students and teachers, including the invitation to protect the environment through the Green Policing program. As a tangible form, helmets and parcels were given to students, as well as planting tree seedlings with the school.

This program aims to strengthen Ditlantas' partnership with schools, instill traffic discipline from an early age, as well as form a young generation that obeys rules, has character, cares about the environment, and is ready to be a pioneer in traffic safety.

Dirlantas Polda Riau, KBP Taufiq Lukman Nurhidayat, said that this activity not only took place in Pekanbaru, but also simultaneously carried out by the Satlantas Polres of the Riau Police.

"In the momentum of the 70th Bhayangkara Traffic Day in 2025, we want to be present in the midst of students to instill awareness of traffic discipline as well as concern for the environment. Hopefully, students will become pioneers of traffic safety as well as agents of change from an early age," he said.

The activity was then closed with planting tree seedlings with the school and a joint photo session, marking a joint commitment in building a traffic orderly culture and preserving the environment from an early age.
