JAKARTA - Director of the Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo said the 2020 compliance operation uses a new mechanism. This means that the deployed personnel no longer carry out raids at several points or stay in one location.

Instead, it will actively patrol in search of traffic offenders. With this mechanism, it is considered to be more effective in disciplining drivers of two- and four-wheeled vehicles. This is also to avoid the crowd.

"There are no stationary raids, partroli hunting and all members carry out obedient operations," Sambodo told VOI, Thursday, July 23.

Operation obedient jaya will be held for two weeks. Starting from 23 July to 5 August. In addition, there were dozens of violations that became the priority for prosecution in the operation.
