BOGOR (JP): In a move to maintain security and order over the
Christmas, New Year and Idul Fitri celebrations, Bogor Police
will make the security of places of worship a top priority.

"We will deploy reliable officers to secure places of worship
and anticipate possible disputes," Bogor Police chief Lt. Col.
Ade Husen said on Monday.

"We hope Christians can have a peaceful celebration, and those
who plan to celebrate New Year can do so without disrupting
others," he added.

Police are also coordinating the security of nightspots with
their management.

"We have asked them to be alert and notify the authority
immediately if there are any violations such as drug dealing or
prostitution."

Separately, Bogor City Police chief Lt. Col. Toto Adi Kuncoro
said that 1,044 personnel would be deployed in an annual
operation codenamed "Operation Candle" to secure Christmas and
New Year.

"They are assigned to this operation from today (Monday) up
