Meanwhile, the Head of Central Java Regional Police, Grand Commissioner (Kombes Pol) Iqbal Alqudusy explained that one of the biggest challenges for teenagers today is the world of social media. Today's teenagers have open access to find information and communicate through social media.

He also revealed that there are many positive things that can be obtained through social media, but on the other hand, there are many negative things including the threat of crime that utilizes the virtual world network.

With the presence of the policewomen to invite students to be wise on social media, Kombes Iqbal hopes that students will be more vigilant and stay away from negative content circulating on social media.

"For that, I really appreciate this activity. The rise of crimes such as cases of fraud and immorality targeting the younger generation indicates the importance of education for students in using social media. Thus, they can be more careful in seeking and sharing information, including making friends through the network,” said Head of Public Relation.
