MATARAM - The West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Regional Police (Polda) have prepared a field strategy to anticipate disturbances in public security and order (kamtibmas) during the MotoGP event which will take place at the Mandalika Circuit, 18-20 March 2022.

The Director of General Criminal Investigation (Dirreskrimum) of the NTB Polda, Grand Commissioner Hari Brata said that his party's efforts to anticipate disturbances in public order and security during the MotoGP period were by monitoring the movements of ex-convicts or recidivist criminal cases in NTB.

"We are monitoring the 'players', especially the recidivist cases that are troubling the public," said Hari Brata, quoted by Antara, Friday, March 4.

Apart from those who are domiciled in NTB, the general criminal investigation team of the NTB Police will also work closely with the National Police Headquarters and other regional police to monitor potential crimes that come from outside the region.

"Like yesterday's WSBK (World Superbike), the actors are from outside the region. We are also paying attention to that by increasing coordination outside the region," he said.

In addition to mapping, his party will also deploy a team to eradicate the mainstay of the NTB Police, namely the Puma Team. Together with Puma personnel from the police, Hari ensures that they will be spread throughout the MotoGP implementation area.

"So this team is outside the Rinjani Mandalika Task Force Team. We deploy them in 'thug' clothes, outside the circuit area and inside," he said.

Hari Brata asked the cooperation of all levels of society and prospective MotoGP spectators to be vigilant, especially with luggage.
