Bandung (ANTARA) \u2013 West Java Regional Police (Polda Jabar) have\ndeployed 1,112 officers for the Antik Lodaya Operation, which will run\nfor 10 days from 7 to 16 October 2026 to tackle narcotics abuse and\nillicit distribution in the province.<\/p>\n
Polda Jabar Public Relations chief Hendra Rochmawan said in Bandung\non Sunday that the operation would focus on addressing the abuse of\nnarcotics, psychotropic substances and other illegal addictive\nsubstances.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis operation demonstrates our firm commitment to eradicating\nillicit drug distribution down to its roots, in order to create a safe\nand conducive public security and order environment across West Java,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n
Hendra said Polda Jabar and its subordinate units had identified 47\npriority targets for investigation during the 2026 Antik Lodaya\nOperation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will prioritise measured law-enforcement action, fully supported\nby pre-emptive and preventive activities in the field,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Polda Jabar Inspector for Supervision Benny Subandi said\nthe operation would take a comprehensive approach from upstream to\ndownstream to uncover narcotics crime networks, including those\ncontrolling distribution.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe response cannot be handled piecemeal. Every case uncovered must\nbe developed to establish who is in control, where the drugs came from,\nhow they were distributed, and who else was involved in the network,\u201d\nBenny said.<\/p>\n
He said enforcement would not target only low-level offenders, but\nwould also be expanded to reveal the drugs\u2019 origins, distribution routes\nand the people controlling trafficking networks.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will also strengthen monitoring of activities related to\nnarcotics distribution in digital spaces,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/west-java-police-deploy-1-112-officers-for-2026-antik-lodaya-operation-1791712351", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
