Kompolnas states that Polri's 2026 Eid homecoming services are better
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The National Police Commission (Kompolnas) states that the Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah/2026 AD homecoming services carried out by Polri units ran better than the previous year, supported by technology and maximum public communication.
Kompolnas member Choirul Anam said his organisation directly monitored the homecoming flow during Operasi Ketupat 2026, implemented by Polri across Indonesia.
“We monitored the homecoming flow in the police’s Operasi Ketupat. For example, in West Java, I visited congestion-prone points and observed how the large-scale mobilisation was managed well,” Anam said when contacted in Jakarta on Thursday.
One location monitored by Kompolnas was at KM57 on the North Coast route, where police managed traffic flow on the toll road.
“One of the improvements is the far more maximal use of technology plus maximal public communication,” he said.
According to him, with maximal technology and public communication, basic information for the public can be conveyed factually and effectively.
For instance, the implementation of one-way systems or contraflow was well-informed to the travelling public.
“That’s why things like when the one-way is applied, for example, and so on. In my opinion, it’s better,” Anam said.
Compared to traffic accident figures on the same day and time during the previous year’s Operasi Ketupat. Based on the monitoring results, there was a decrease in traffic accidents at three locations observed by Kompolnas.
“Comparing the same date and day, the traffic accident comparison with last year is down. The figures are down by 50 percent and 90 percent compared to the same H-day, at the times I checked at several integrated posts, so it’s better,” he stated.
No less important, Kompolnas found a child-friendly service approach implemented at the Cimahi Police Resort in the Padalarang area, West Java.
According to Anam, the Cimahi Police Resort post was not only built as an integrated homecoming service post but also to foster child-friendliness.
The post was designed differently from others, attractively themed with Transformers. Usually, integrated posts only provide standard health services and rest areas.
“The post was designed in such a way to attract children. And logically, it’s attractive because homecoming usually involves entire families, and children easily get tired with various needs. With a child-friendly post that entertains children, it’s hoped the situation becomes more comfortable and enjoyable,” he said.
Anam stated that this condition shows an elevated level of development in Polri’s homecoming services, one dimension of which is the child-friendly services developed by the police.
