Daftar Sbmptn – As the weekend approaches, the Rantau Pulung Police are increasing patrols by implementing Enhanced Routine Activities (KRYD) in several regional economic centers. This measure is part of the police’s preventive efforts to ensure public order and security (kamtibmas), especially in locations where residents gather for shopping, activities, and holidays. These activities have received full support from the community and local businesses, who feel the police presence is helping maintain a safe and conducive situation.
The Rantau Pulung Police Chief explained that this KRYD is focused on economic centers such as markets, shops, culinary areas, and other crowded areas. He explained that the weekend typically sees increased public mobility, necessitating extra security to prevent security disturbances. “We want to ensure that people can enjoy their weekend activities peacefully and comfortably. Therefore, we are increasing KRYD, especially in economic activity centers,” he said.
During the KRYD implementation, officers conduct patrols on foot and in two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles. Any crowded areas with the potential to cause security disturbances are prioritized. In addition to monitoring criminal activities such as theft, thuggery, and potential disturbances, officers also reminded visitors and vendors to always be vigilant about their belongings and to adhere to applicable regulations.
Beyond focusing on security, KRYD activities are also used to build good communication with the community. Officers actively greet residents, engage in casual dialogue, and listen to complaints or input regarding security conditions in the area. According to the Police Chief, this humane approach is necessary to create a harmonious relationship between the police and the community, while also strengthening public trust in the police institution. With this approach, it is hoped that the public will not hesitate to report any suspicious activity or need security assistance.
Meanwhile, vendors in the economic center expressed their appreciation for the police’s actions. One market vendor said that the police presence makes visitors feel more comfortable and increases their sense of security when shopping. “When the police patrol frequently like this, we feel calm. Customers also don’t hesitate to come because the situation is safe. Especially on weekends, it’s usually busy,” he said.
In addition to maintaining security, the Rantau Pulung Police also emphasize the importance of traffic order around economic centers. Increased vehicle volume often causes congestion in certain areas, so officers help regulate traffic flow to maintain smooth flow. They also educate drivers on always obeying traffic signs, avoiding illegal parking, and prioritizing pedestrian safety. These measures have proven to help alleviate potential congestion, especially during rush hour.
During the implementation of KRYD, officers also monitor potential disturbances such as extortion, illegal racing, and alcohol abuse. Several youths who hang out late at night are advised to avoid activities that could cause disturbances or disturb the safety of other residents. This persuasive approach is implemented to prevent unlawful acts in a more humane and educational manner.
Furthermore, the Rantau Pulung Police also collaborate with community organizations and local communities to help maintain neighborhood security. They are invited to collaborate in maintaining regional security by sharing information and assisting with surveillance at vulnerable areas. This collaboration is welcomed by various parties as it is seen as strengthening community-based security. “Security is a shared responsibility. We as police officers are tasked with maintaining security, but the community’s role is crucial in creating a truly safe environment,” said the Police Chief.
On the same occasion, the Police Chief also stated that the KRYD (Community Service) will continue to be conducted periodically and will be intensified at certain times, such as long holidays, religious holidays, and other significant events. He emphasized his commitment to maintaining security in the Rantau Pulung jurisdiction, especially in the economic growth centers that are vital to community life. With maximum security, the economy can run smoothly without significant obstacles caused by disturbances to public order and security.
Furthermore, the KRYD is not only aimed at maintaining security but also supporting regional economic growth. By ensuring a conducive situation, the public feels freer to carry out their activities, and businesses can conduct their trade with peace of mind. This indirectly encourages increased local economic activity, which ultimately has a positive impact on community well-being.
As the activity drew to a close, the Police Chief reiterated the importance of the role of all parties in creating a safe and comfortable environment. He urged the public to remain vigilant, maintain order, and not hesitate to contact the police if they need assistance or encounter anything suspicious. “We are here for the community. Let’s work together to ensure this area remains conducive, especially on weekends, which are a popular time for activities,” he said.
With intensive and collaborative implementation of KRYD, the Rantau Pulung Police have succeeded in creating a safe and conducive weekend atmosphere in the region’s economic centers. The police presence not only ensures security and order but also provides a sense of comfort for people conducting activities outside the home. It is hoped that these efforts will continue to maintain regional stability and support sustainable economic development.
