National Police Chief Strengthens Task Forces on Dismissals and Ride-Hailing During Mosque Inauguration in Riau
Pekanbaru – National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo inaugurated the renovation of Al-Adzim Mosque at Riau Regional Police Headquarters. The inauguration was part of a series of working visits and Ramadan safari activities in the region.
The National Police Chief was accompanied by the Chairwoman of Commission IV of the House of Representatives Siti Hediati Hariyadi (known as Titiek Soeharto), Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni, and several senior officials from the National Police Headquarters.
The inauguration ceremony was marked by the signing of a commemorative plaque, followed by a direct inspection of the renovated mosque. Al-Adzim Mosque now serves not only as a place of worship but also as a communal space for police personnel and the public.
During the same occasion, the National Police Chief formally established the Labour Dismissal Task Force (Satgas PHK) for Riau Province and the Community Order Precision Ride-Hailing Officers (Ojol Kamtibmas Presisi). The establishment was marked symbolically by presenting vests to representatives of the task force and ride-hailing drivers.
This initiative represents a strengthening of the community policing approach, involving the public in maintaining security and order, including efforts to prevent forest and land fires in Riau.
The event also included the distribution of aid to orphans from the Amanah and Anugerah Orphanages in Pekanbaru.
In his remarks, the National Police Chief emphasised the importance of maintaining unity amid various global challenges.
“We must unite to guide Indonesia towards becoming an advanced nation. We must capitalise on the demographic bonus by preparing superior human resources to manage natural wealth for future generations,” the National Police Chief said on Wednesday, 18 March 2026.
He also commended the Riau Regional Police Chief for introducing innovations through the establishment of the Labour Dismissal Task Force and involving ride-hailing drivers in community policing efforts.
“Thank you, Regional Police Chief, for establishing the Labour Dismissal Task Force and embracing ride-hailing drivers as part of the security belt. This is a concrete manifestation of the police partnership with the community in maintaining security stability as the foundation for development,” he said.
Meanwhile, Riau Regional Police Chief Inspector General Herry Heryawan stated that the programme originated from genuine needs within the community.
“All these activities ultimately aim to ensure that the public feels safe, feels heard, and truly experiences the state’s presence in their lives,” said the Regional Police Chief.
