SEMARANG - Central Java (Central Java) Police Chief Inspector General Ahmad Luthfi said that the implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) was effective in reducing crime rates.

"Since the implementation of PPKM, the trend of disturbances in security and order in Central Java has tended to decrease," said the Central Java Police Chief, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, September 7.

According to him, PPKM which is carried out with joint patrols and legal operations to enforce health protocols is able to suppress community mobility.

This, continued Inspector General Ahmad Luthfi, also had an impact on reducing the number of disturbances in security and order.

Although the number of COVID-19 cases has decreased, he said again, the police will not relax the enforcement of health protocols and judicial discipline during PPKM.

"The spread of COVID is decreasing, people should not be careless," he said.

While related to the implementation of vaccinations, said the Kapolda, to accelerate the achievement of communal immunity, the target of injecting vaccines is directed to places where people carry out spiritual activities.

Vaccination is focused on Islamic boarding schools, churches, temples, and monasteries in various areas in Central Java.
