Metro Jaya Regional Police Deploy 6,379 Personnel for the Keep Jakarta Clean and Beautiful Movement

Deputy Chief of Metro Jaya Police Brigadier General Dekananto Eko Purwono said the directives from the Police Chief are a follow-up to the President’s national priority programme outlined in Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2025, which stipulates that urban waste management will be converted into renewable energy. Speaking after the launch parade for the Keep Jakarta Clean and Beautiful movement at Polda Metro Jaya on Saturday (23 May 2026). In the Keep Jakarta Clean and Beautiful movement, 6,379 personnel are involved. They comprise 1,000 personnel from 29 units of the Metro Jaya Police, 2,440 personnel from 13 Polres in the jurisdiction, and 2,939 personnel from 102 Polsek in the jurisdiction. Dekananto said the Metro Jaya Police have also provided segregated waste bins at the Mako Polda, Polres, and Polsek environments, totaling 821 bins. They include 465 segregated bins at the Metro Jaya Police environment, 123 at the respective Polres, and 233 at the respective Polsek. The bins are for organic, non-organic, and hazardous (B3) waste. He urged the public to work together with the police to tackle Jakarta’s waste issue. “Today the Police Chief invited leaders of societal organisations, with the aim that the Police, especially the Metro Jaya Police, work in partnership with the community to address this waste issue,” he said. Further, Dekananto stated that the Keep Jakarta Clean and Beautiful movement aligns with government policy on urban waste management and aims to build shared awareness to sort waste starting from the workplace. He said the movement is also part of the Metro Police’s commitment to be present in a humane way in society. “Waste issues may seem simple, but if we do not manage them properly, consistently, and sustainably, and make them a culture for every member of the Police and the public, they will become a major problem. Therefore, this is the commitment of the Police Chief and all ranks in waste management,” he stressed.
