JAKARTA - The National Police Commission (Kompolnas) considers street crimes such as begal to be handled by the police without having to involve the TNI. Kompolnas Commissioner, Choirul Anam, said the police had the ability to take action.
This was conveyed by Choirul Anam as a response to the TNI's contribution in supporting efforts to take action against beggars. He considered that the police had a good track record in terms of handling beggars.
"I think it's enough for the police, let's keep it professional," said Anam at the Kompolnas office, Jakarta, Tuesday, June 2.
Anam explained that currently the police have been supported by advanced technology and equipment. In addition, many street points are now equipped with CCTV.
In addition, Anam assessed that the community has the ability to communicate with each other. The community is also easier to contact the police through the 110 call center.
Anam also encouraged the public to immediately contact the police at various levels if they receive information about beggars.
"It is important that our police encourage and we support so that our security and comfort are maintained," said Anam.
He emphasized that technological developments can support efforts to address the problem of beggars. Therefore, he encouraged the police to be confident in cracking down on beggars. "I think the police must be confident that they are capable and professional as before," he concluded.
Previously, the Head of the Information Center (Kapuspen) of the TNI, Brigadier General Muhammad Nas, said that the TNI Commander, General Agus Subiyanto, had given permission to his soldiers to help handle the robbery. This involvement was carried out as a form of support to the National Police in maintaining public security.
"There is no special instruction from the TNI commander for the anti-beggar operation. However, approving or allowing the TNI to do so with the principle of the presence of soldiers in the field is part of the effort to help the National Police," Nas said, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, May 26.
Nas explained that the TNI would not be directly involved in the process of arresting, taking legal action, or examining the perpetrators. The presence of TNI soldiers is limited to supporting the National Police to ensure that the community is protected from street crime.
In order to avoid overlapping tasks and authorities, the TNI will strengthen coordination with the National Police so that the handling of the begal case runs more optimally.
