JAKARTA - The commitment of the National Police to provide real benefits to the community has been realized again through the construction of infrastructure. National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo inaugurated 80 Precision Red and White Bridges Phase II in Riau province.
The inauguration, which was centered in the South Dumai District, Dumai City on Tuesday, July 7, was one of the main agendas of the National Police Chief's working visit in the context of the 80th Anniversary of Bhayangkara Day.
With the completion of the second phase of construction, the total Precision Red and White Bridge that has been successfully built by the Riau Police now reaches 110 units, spread across various districts and cities in the Riau Province.
The National Police Chief and his entourage arrived at the inauguration location and were greeted with a procession of installing a tanjak as a form of respect for the Riau Malay custom.
The series of activities was then continued with singing the song Indonesia Raya, performance dance, opening ceremony, prayer reading, and screening of a glimpse video showing the development of the Precision Red and White Bridge in various regions of Riau Province.
In his remarks, the Riau Police Chief, Inspector General Herry Heryawan, said the construction of 80 Precision Red and White Bridges was not merely to present physical infrastructure, but a joint effort to strengthen social connectivity, expand public access to public services, and open up space for more equitable economic growth.
The Police Chief explained that various studies showed that the progress of an area was very determined by the quality of connectivity, the level of social trust, and the ability of the community to build collective cooperation.
"Therefore, infrastructure development is an important foundation for the sustainable growth of people's welfare," he said.
According to him, the policy of President Prabowo Subianto which was implemented by the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has provided a new perspective in the implementation of police duties.
The National Police is not only present as a law enforcement institution, but also becomes part of the solution to various community problems by strengthening social cohesion, building social capital, and providing real service.
"On behalf of the Riau Police family, we express our pride and gratitude to the National Police Chief for the leadership, example, and guidance he has given to us. From him we learned that security is born from trust, trust gives birth to participation, participation gives birth to collaboration, and collaboration will give birth to social resilience as the foundation of community progress," said Inspector General Herry.
Irjen emphasized that this understanding became the basis for the Riau Police in building 80 Precision Red and White Bridges which were presented as a gift for the 80th Anniversary of Bhayangkara for the people of Riau Province.
He also expressed his appreciation to the Acting Governor of Riau, the 19th Army Commander/Tuanku Tambusai, the district and city governments, the business world, volunteers, and all people who have collaborated to support the construction of the bridge.
"Hopefully all the good things we have done together will continue to benefit the community today and become a legacy for our children and grandchildren in the future," he said.
After the speech, the National Police Chief held an interactive dialogue with the beneficiaries. The dialogue was carried out virtually with the people of Siak Regency and Pelalawan Regency, as well as directly with the people of Dumai City.
During the dialogue, the National Police Chief listened directly to various stories and testimonies from the public regarding the benefits of the Precision Red and White Bridge, which has opened transportation access, facilitated economic activities, and made it easier for people to obtain education and health services.
The series of activities was then continued with the signing of an inscription as a sign of the inauguration of 80 Precision Red and White Bridges Phase II, followed by a direct review of the bridge which became the location of the inauguration.
The National Police Chief also handed over sympathy ropes and grocery packages to community representatives before concluding the series of activities.
Closing the entire inauguration series, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo expressed his appreciation to the Riau Police who managed to present 110 Precision Red and White Bridges for the people in various regions of Riau Province.
The National Police Chief emphasized that the construction of the bridge was an implementation of President Prabowo Subianto's direction that the National Police not only carried out its duty to maintain public security and order, but also present solutions to the needs of the community through development that has a direct impact.
"I would like to thank the Riau Police Chief and all his staff who have worked hard to carry out the President's instructions and duties. Today we are inaugurating 80 Precision Red and White Bridges Phase II. With this addition, the total number of bridges that have been built by the Riau Police has reached 110 units," said the National Police Chief.
According to the National Police Chief, the bridge that was built was not just a connecting infrastructure, but an access that opened up opportunities for the community to have a better life.
The presence of the bridge will make it easier for children to go to school, facilitate access to health services, as well as speed up the distribution of agricultural, plantation, and community economic activities.
"We want to ensure that the community, especially in villages and areas that have had limited access, receives real benefits from this development. With better connectivity, children are easier to go to school, the community has easier access to public services, and economic activities can grow so that community welfare also increases," he said.
The four-star general also invited all elements of the nation to continue to strengthen the spirit of collaboration in building Indonesia. According to him, the mutual cooperation that gave birth to the Precision Red and White Bridge Program is an important capital in realizing the dream of Indonesia's Gold 2045.
"Let's together maintain this spirit of togetherness so that the hopes of the people, the hopes of the nation, and the ideals of a Golden Indonesia 2045 can be realized together," concluded the National Police Chief.
The bridge that became the location of the inauguration connects Jalan Perintis RT 02, Bumi Ayu Village, with Jalan Bukit Datuk Lama RT 03, Bukit Datuk Village, South Dumai District.
His presence is expected to further facilitate community mobility, strengthen inter-regional connectivity, accelerate the distribution of agricultural and plantation products, and facilitate access to education, health, and public service facilities.
The Precision Red and White Bridge Program is one of the innovations of the Riau Police which was built through the spirit of collaboration between the National Police, local government, business world, and the community.
Until mid-2026, as many as 110 bridges have stood in various corners of Riau Province as a symbol of the presence of the National Police which not only maintains security, but also helps build connectivity, strengthens social cohesion, and brings real benefits to the welfare of the community. []
