JAKARTA - The point of isolation during the Implementation of the Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) continues to be added to suppress community mobility which is increasing again. But in that scheme, the police also give certain discretion or freedom.
Director of Traffic Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo said discretion was given to parties with urgent interests.
"If the decision is urgent, we will definitely allow it," said Sambodo to reporters, Wednesday, July 15.
In addition, there are several professions that are also given the discretion to pass through the isolation points. For example, online motorcycle taxis (ojol) and media workers.
Especially for ojol there are certain conditions. They are allowed to pass through the blocking point as long as they are going to pick up and deliver orders.
"Ojol, yes (may cross the barrier point)," he said.
Then, discretion will also be given at certain times. However, Sambodo did not explain in detail about the conditions that became the benchmark for giving discretion.
The officer at the isolation point also saw and considered the urgency of each worker. Until finally giving discretion.
"Yes, that's right, each driver is selected to see the situation. Yes, look at the development, but the general direction is like that (time division). But later friends (officers) in the field can see what the situation is," said Sambodo
On the previous occasion, Deputy Chief of the Metro Jaya Police Brigadier General Hendro Pandowo also briefly mentioned discretion. This will be done if the guard at the isolation point deems it necessary to implement it.
On the other hand, Hendro had said that discretion would be given if there was a traffic jam. But with a note, the congestion caused is very severe and there is no other solution to unravel it.
"When there is a build-up of traffic, we exercise discretion. It is opened so that there is no accumulation that causes new problems," said Hendro.
For information, Polda Metro Jaya has added blocking points in the Jakarta area and its surroundings. There are 100 blocking points in total.
Meanwhile, for the entire Lampung to Bali area, there were 1,038 blocking points.
