Kepulauan Seribu has its own police station
JAKARTA: To better monitor the many islands off the coast of
the capital, Jakarta Police chief Insp. Gen. Firman Gani launched
on Wednesday a new police precinct in the Kepulauan Seribu
regency.
Spokesman Sr. Comr. I Ketut Untung Yoga Ana said that the
precinct would have more personnel and equipment.
"Previously, the Seribu Island precinct depended on the North
Jakarta Police precinct. Whenever they have problems they would
coordinate with North Jakarta. Now, they are directly answerable
to the Jakarta Police Headquarters," he said.
The police station is located on Pramuka isle, the center of
activities in the regency.
Firman installed Adj. Sr. Comr. Boy Ramli as the chief of the
police precinct. -- JP
