Metro Police Strategy to Support Government Efficiency, Affirms Continued Service Delivery

“Policing services will continue to run,” said the Head of Public Relations for Metro Jaya Regional Police, Commissioner Budi Hermanto, to reporters on Friday (10/4/2026). Budi stated that the Indonesian National Police (Polri), including Polda Metro Jaya, will continue to conduct territorial patrols. These patrols are carried out to ensure security and order in the environment. “However, patrols to provide a sense of safety and comfort to the public will still be carried out. Especially since we know there is news of an assessment that DKI Jakarta is the second safest city in Southeast Asia,” he said. “This is not just the work of the police and TNI, the government, but it is also a manifestation of public awareness to create a sense of safety and provide space for all vulnerable groups, especially women and children, to be in a safe position when walking in public areas,” he added. Nevertheless, Polda Metro has other strategies to support government efficiency for fuel savings, one of which is encouraging Polri members to use public transportation. Budi emphasised that Polda Metro Jaya continues to support the central government’s initiatives. “But for other official trips, for example, we do not use private vehicles, we can use public transportation. We can switch from four-wheeled vehicles to two-wheeled vehicles. From two-wheeled, we can use bicycles to the office,” he explained.
