Political and intelligence analyst Boni Hargens has assessed that the\nNational Police and other law enforcement agencies are ensuring that\npublic security and order (kamtibmas) remain conducive and under\ncontrol, amid the circulation of various rumours regarding actions\nplanned for Thursday, 27 August 2026.<\/p>\n
Boni considers the rumours of action to be part of the narrative\ndynamics in the contemporary public sphere. Such rumours, he said,\nshould not automatically be interpreted as a real threat, but they still\nrequire a proportional and measured response from all parties.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe National Police, together with the TNI and BIN, certainly\nalready have an effective collaborative strategy to keep conditions safe\nin any chaotic situation that may occur. Moreover, I have great\nconfidence in the performance of the National Police Chief, who has\nproven successful in maintaining public security and order through the\nvarious upheavals that have occurred since 2024,\u201d Boni said in a written\nstatement on Wednesday, 26 August 2026.<\/p>\n
Boni stressed that the national security apparatus is believed to\nhave thorough preparedness and collaborative strategies in place to face\nvarious security scenarios. Nevertheless, he emphasised that vigilance\nmust not slacken even when the situation appears under control.<\/p>\n
Boni introduced an analytical security framework known as the Black\nSwan Theory. This theory in security studies emphasises that there is\nalways the possibility of unexpected events occurring, even when there\nis no precedent or prior indication.<\/p>\n
He explained that unpredictable events with major impacts always have\na chance of occurring. Security logic must always account for this\npossibility, even when the situation appears completely normal and under\ncontrol.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe success in maintaining security must not make the apparatus\ncomplacent. Worst-case scenario planning and adaptive response are key\nin facing every moment of large-scale demonstration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Boni called on all parties, including the public,\nthe media, and policymakers, to respond to this issue proportionally and\nneither to underestimate the threat nor to aggravate the atmosphere with\nunfounded panic.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course we do not hope for bad things to happen, but security\nlogic must always see the possibility of a black swan emerging in every\nthreat opportunity,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/boni-hargens-confident-tni-polri-have-effective-strategy-to-maintain-security-tomorrow-1787745200", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
