Landak (Suara Kalbar) \u2014 Landak District Police held a coordination\nmeeting on the handling of illegal loud exhaust pipes (knalpot brong)\nwithin their jurisdiction, at the Landak Police BKPM office in West\nKalimantan on Thursday (17\/4\/2025).<\/p>\n
Landak Police Chief AKBP Siswo Dwi Nugroho emphasised the importance\nof all stakeholders\u2019 participation in maintaining order and security in\nLandak Regency. He highlighted the issues of juvenile delinquency and\nnarcotics distribution that need to be prevented as early as\npossible.<\/p>\n
\u201cProblems such as juvenile delinquency and illicit narcotics\ntrafficking should not wait until there are perpetrators or victims.\nPrevention is better than cure. We invite all parties to jointly\nmaintain a conducive public order,\u201d said AKBP Siswo Dwi Nugroho.<\/p>\n
The police chief added that handling the use of loud exhaust pipes is\nnot solely the responsibility of the police but also requires active\ninvolvement from all elements of society. He therefore requested support\nfrom all parties, including community leaders, workshop owners, caf\u00e9\noperators, and parents, to help educate young people.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to change the public mindset that using loud exhaust pipes\nis not a trend worth following, but rather a violation that can impact\npublic comfort and order,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Landak Police will continue to take humane yet firm enforcement\naction against such violations, as part of their commitment to\nmaintaining a safe and conducive security situation within their\njurisdiction. The police chief also urged caf\u00e9 operators and workshop\nowners to remind visitors and customers not to use vehicles fitted with\nloud exhaust pipes, as they severely disrupt public order.<\/p>\n
A representative of the Landak Regency DAD (Customary Council)\nChairman affirmed that the use of loud exhaust pipes cannot be\ntolerated. Besides potentially disrupting public order, offenders may\nalso face criminal sanctions and customary penalties. The council also\nsuggested that the Village Administration Agency be involved in\nconveying advisories to village heads to educate the public about the\ndangers and prohibition of loud exhaust pipes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf necessary, all vehicles using loud exhaust pipes should be\ndestroyed,\u201d asserted one of the customary leaders present at the\nmeeting.<\/p>\n
Support was also expressed by the Head of the Landak Regency Civil\nService Police Unit (Satpol PP), who stressed the importance of\ninter-agency collaboration. He also reminded caf\u00e9 operators to comply\nwith operational hour limits and urged boarding house owners to conduct\nstrict registration of their tenants.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/landak-police-hold-coordination-meeting-on-loud-exhaust-crackdown-1771230356", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
