Long Weekend: Precision ETLE Drone Patrol Monitors Traffic Violations on MT Haryono-Cibubur Route
The National Traffic Police Corps (Korlantas Polri) Precision ETLE Drone Patrol monitored traffic violations at a number of strategic points, including on Jalan MT Haryono and Jalan Alternatif Cibubur, on Monday (16/2). Korlantas Polri urged the public to observe greater traffic discipline.
The deployment of the Precision ETLE Drone Patrol reflects the commitment of Korlantas Polri Chief Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho to implementing the revitalisation and optimisation of digitally-based law enforcement. The operation was carried out as an anticipatory measure in response to increased public mobility during the long weekend, whilst simultaneously strengthening the realisation of traffic security, safety, order and smooth flow (Kamseltibcarlantas).
The operation was conducted under the control, coordination and oversight of Korlantas Polri Law Enforcement Director Brigadier General Faizal, with technical management by the Head of the Control and Deterrence Sub-directorate of the Korlantas Polri Law Enforcement Directorate, Commissioner Dwi Sumrahadi Rakhmanto. This was implemented to ensure certainty across all process stages, from planning and organisational execution to supervision, carried out professionally, measurably, and based on accurate electronic data.
The use of ETLE drones focused on comprehensive aerial monitoring of traffic flows, including detecting potential violations that risk causing congestion or traffic accidents. With broader and more flexible surveillance coverage, this technology strengthens preventive approaches and delivers a modern surveillance system that is adaptive to the dynamics of vehicle movement in urban areas and the capital’s satellite zones.
All drone monitoring data is integrated directly with the National ETLE System. Each finding undergoes systematic identification and verification stages before being processed further in accordance with applicable mechanisms. This system affirms Korlantas Polri’s commitment to building technology-based surveillance that is transparent, objective and accountable, whilst supporting the National Police’s digital transformation in the traffic sector.
Korlantas Polri affirmed that the deployment of the Precision ETLE Drone Patrol forms part of a strategy to strengthen digitally-based traffic surveillance and management. The presence of this technology is expected to enhance collective public awareness of traffic discipline — not merely due to the presence of officers, but as a shared necessity for the safety of all road users.
“Traffic discipline is a form of personal responsibility in safeguarding one’s own safety and that of other road users. Through aerial digital surveillance, potential risks on the roads can be anticipated earlier in order to create sustainable order,” said Inspector General Agus.
Korlantas Polri urged all members of the public to consistently comply with traffic regulations at all times and in all places. Traffic discipline should be embraced as a shared culture in order to achieve safety and order on the roads, particularly during periods of increased mobility such as long weekends.
