Future policing

Future policing

From Merdeka

City planning should be projected to the future. If we carry out development programs without accounting for cultural aspirations and the nation's integrity, we will deeply lament the way we executed the programs in 50 years.

The need to develop the five areas of Jakarta is urgent. It will trigger movements of population, not from outside regions into the city but from the center to the outer regions. More policing will become a necessity.

Integrated, fast and efficient police services should be made available. In 2020 we will 20 times the present police force, one policeman should protect 20 people; today the ratio is one for 400.

The police face a great challenge so careful consideration is required in transforming the police into a formidable law enforcing agent.
