        "summary": "The head of Jakarta's Satpol PP has highlighted the excessive workload faced by personnel, which has led to deaths among members, with officers confirming the intense daily routines involving patrols, supervision, and emergency responses across three shifts. Despite public misconceptions of idleness, officers like Dede Wahyudi emphasise their 24-hour commitment, sacrificing rest for incidents such as fires, floods, and fallen trees, while managing fatigue through personal health strategies. They appreciate welfare improvements like rest facilities but call for more staff to cover vast areas adequately, underscoring the need for better support in public safety roles.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Head of the Civil Service Police Unit\n(Satpol PP) of DKI Jakarta, Satriadi Gunawan, has spotlighted the\nexcessive workload of his personnel in the field, which has been so\nburdensome that it has caused several members to die on duty.<\/p>\n<p>In response to this, Dede Wahyudi, an officer from the Satpol PP of\nSrengseng Sub-District, Kembangan, West Jakarta, confirmed the\nmatter.<\/p>\n<p>He revealed that the daily routine of Satpol PP officers is filled\nwith supervision, patrols, and handling sudden tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Dede explained that in their daily operations, Satpol PP personnel\nare divided into three shifts: morning, afternoon, and 24-hour on-call\nduty.<\/p>\n<p>However, rest time is often sacrificed when emergencies occur in the\narea, such as fires, floods, or other incidents requiring security\nmeasures.<\/p>\n<p>He also dismissed the perception held by some members of the public\nthat Satpol PP officers merely loiter while on duty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there are (people who say) Satpol PP\u2019s job is just hanging\naround, they are wrong, they are mistaken. Like us here, our work is\nreally 24 hours. Sometimes when we\u2019re resting at midnight, even when\nit\u2019s time to sleep, suddenly there\u2019s a fire, a murder, or a tree falls\ndue to heavy rain, a flood, then we work, we go out to the area,\u201d said\nDede.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe strive as hard as we can to do our job every day for the sake of\nthe community,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the physical demands required for hours in the field, Dede\nadmitted that fatigue is an unavoidable issue for all personnel.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, he tries to maintain stamina by managing rest time,\neating on schedule, and handling stress.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Dede appreciated his leadership\u2019s steps to attend to\nthe welfare of their subordinates, for example, by providing rest\nfacilities in the form of bunk beds at the headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>However, he also highlighted the need for additional personnel or\nworkforce at the sub-district level, which is currently felt to be very\ninsufficient to cover the vast supervision area.<\/p>\n<p>A similar statement was expressed by Ronatal Purba, who is also a\nSatpol PP officer from Srengseng Sub-District.<\/p>",
