Polda Metro Jaya deployed four Water Cannon vehicles to spray Jalan Jendral Sudirman to the Building Youth Statue, Senayan, Jakarta. The goal is to reduce the impact of air pollution. "The National Police, especially Polda Metro Jaya, are ready by checking the water cannon tactical vehicle and then spraying the protocol road to reduce the impact of air pollution in Jakarta," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko in his statement, Thursday, August 24. The four Water Cannon Polda vehicles spray both sides of the road, starting from Jalan Merdeka Barat Monas, Jalan Jenderal Sudirman to the Youth Statue, Senayan. This spraying activity was carried out with the Fire Department of Operations and the DKI Jakarta City Parks and Forest Service. In reducing air pollution, Polda Metro Jaya and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will also hold a vehicle ticket test that will not pass the emission test on August 26. "The 26 (August) date tomorrow will begin (trial ticketing)," said Traffic Director of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Latif Usman. In the enforcement mechanism, the police will take a role. Articles 285 and 286 of Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation are said to be the basis for prosecution. "For motorcycles Rp. 250,000, four wheels Rp. 500,000 are fined a maximum," he said. In its implementation, the DKI Jakarta Environmental Agency will be involved. Those who will test vehicle exhaust emissions. "Because those who have the tools are from them. Now we will help with the ticketing, later the equipment will be in the Department of Environment and later we will work together," he said.

In this way, it is hoped that it can reduce vehicle emissions which are one of the causes of air pollution.
