Karawang Police Force Monitors Catholic Church of St. Marinus Resinda
The Karawang Police Force is guarding and securing a series of worship services commemorating the Ascension of Jesus Christ in 2026. Officers conducted a thorough sterilisation of the area inside and outside the place of worship.
Chief of the Karawang Police, AKBP Fiki N. Ardiansyah, directly led the security operation to ensure that tolerance and freedom of worship are maintained safely within his jurisdiction. The inspection was carried out at the Catholic Church of St. Marinus Resinda, Telukjambe Timur District, Karawang Regency, West Java, on Thursday (14/5) evening.
The strict security operation, which began at 17:00 WIB, involved joint personnel from the Karawang Police and the Telukjambe Timur Police. Officers on the field conducted a thorough sterilisation of the area inside and outside the place of worship.
This anticipatory measure was taken to map out potential security and public order disturbances, street crime, and to prevent acts of vandalism.
AKBP Fiki N. Ardiansyah gave important instructions that must be obeyed by all personnel on duty. He also emphasised the importance of communication with internal church officials and the vigilance of personnel while on duty.
“Carry out your duties effectively, establish good communication with church officials regarding worship times and the number of congregants. Immediately report all developments and incidents to the leadership or supervising officer,” said the Chief of the Karawang Police.
Furthermore, the Chief of Police reminded his members to always be vigilant through a group security system. “Maintain a good attitude and appearance while carrying out duties and carry out a body system during the execution of duties, no independent movement.”
The church officials expressed their high appreciation to the Karawang Police Force for their dedication in maintaining the solemnity of the Christian community, so that the commemoration of the Ascension of Jesus Christ in Karawang can run peacefully. (E-2)
