How Indramayu Police Are Helping Workers Laid Off

INDRAMAYU – Losing a job does not mean losing the future. Through its Police Care for the Unemployed (Poliran) programme, Indramayu Police are seeking to restore the confidence of residents affected by layoffs.

Poliran has given 100 people who lost their jobs the opportunity to take part in vocational training. The training is intended to equip them to re-enter the workforce or start their own businesses.

Indramayu Police Chief AKBP Prianggo PM said that losing a job was a difficult challenge for individuals and their families. However, he hoped the situation would not dampen workers’ determination to get back on their feet and plan for the future.

“Layoffs can be an opportunity to improve abilities, learn new skills and explore possibilities that have not been tried before,” Prianggo said when opening the vocational training at the Atmaniwedhana Hall of Indramayu Police on Monday (26 October 2026).

At the event, the police chief also signed a cooperation agreement with the Indramayu Regency Manpower Office. The agreement reflects a shared commitment to improving skills and expanding employment opportunities for the community.

Prianggo said vocational training was more than an exercise in teaching technical skills. It was an investment in human resources, enabling people to develop the competence, productivity and competitiveness needed by the labour market.

“I urge all participants to take part in the training with discipline, dedication and enthusiasm,” Prianggo said.

The training areas set out in the programme include espresso-making and latte art, sewing with a single-needle machine, basic digital marketing, and refrigerant handling or air-conditioning technician skills.

These four fields were selected to improve participants’ abilities and prepare them better for the needs of businesses and industry.
