JAKARTA - The Batang Resort Police, Central Java, deployed 312 personnel assisted by the Pekalongan Brimob and Kodim 0710/Batang troops to anticipate the possibility of riots during the Kesa Head Election (Pilkades0 simultaneously on May 29, 2022, upcoming).
The head of the Batang Polres, AKBP Mochamad Irwan Susanto in Batang, said the police had mapped out problems that could lead to riots that could lead to disturbances in public security and order.
"Therefore, all members will be distributed to polling stations (TPS) in 32 villages which will carry out the simultaneous Pilkades on May 29, 2022," he said.
To anticipate, he said, his party had carried out a security simulation for the village head election which was attended by personnel from the Batang Polres, Pekalongan Brimob and Kodim/0710 Batang.
In the simulation, he said, his party created a polling place security scheme (TPS) against the masses of one candidate for village head who was dissatisfied with the committee's performance.
"Through this simulation activity, we will understand the main tasks and functions in securing the village head election which will be held on May 29, 2022," he said.
He, who was accompanied by the Head of the Operational Section, Kompol Raharja, said that his party had mapped out a number of problem-prone points related to the simultaneous village head elections.
"Therefore, we will alert 'batter' personnel from the Polres and Brimob Pekalongan in securing the village head election at a number of vulnerable points. However, God willing, the implementation of the village head election will take place safely and peacefully," he said.
He said there were three zones in securing the Pilkades, namely three red zones, five yellow zones, and a green or safe zone.
"Based on intelligence analysis, there are three red zones and a yellow zone, the rest are safe zones. However, we will continue to oversee all villages that will carry out the Pilkades," he added.
