Bogor Police Prepare Unique Integrated Post at Gadog for Homecoming Travellers
Bogor Police Chief AKBP Wikha Ardilestanto stated that the integrated post has been constructed following directives from West Java’s Regional Police Commander, requiring each resort police unit to establish a uniquely themed integrated post designed to attract homecoming travellers.
“The West Java Regional Police Commander has directed all police resort units to create one integrated post with a distinctive and thematic character,” Wikha Ardilestanto said at Pospol Gadog, Ciawi, Bogor Regency, on Thursday.
He explained that the integrated post serves not only to secure the homecoming traffic flow but also to provide various services to the public travelling through the Puncak route. The facility includes free massage services, police services, prayer facilities, and rest areas for travellers needing to recuperate before continuing their journey.
“The Regional Police Commander hopes this integrated post will attract homecoming travellers to stop and utilise the facilities we have provided,” he stated.
According to Wikha, the post features an attractive design with a specific theme to make it distinctive and easily recognisable to passing motorists. “The post has a unique design with a theme and features that the public will understand and recognise, which we hope will encourage people to visit,” he said.
Bogor Police have prepared three types of posts for the operation: security posts, service posts, and the integrated post. Fourteen security posts are distributed across strategic locations throughout Bogor Regency, focusing on traffic safety and public order. A single service post is stationed at Gunung Mas Rest Area in the Puncak region, functioning as a service point for travellers and as a traffic management location for one-way systems.
The integrated post at Gadog combines security, service, and inter-agency coordination functions. It is staffed by police personnel alongside representatives from the transportation office, civil police, and disaster management agencies due to frequent hydrometeorological hazards in the area. The post is also equipped with a medical team to provide health services to travellers during the mudik period.
Bogor Police are again engaging traffic management volunteers (Supeltas), who previously assisted during the Lilin Operation for Christmas and New Year celebrations. Approximately 65 volunteers will be deployed at the same locations as previous operations.
