National Police Chief Urges Citizens to Deposit Vehicles at Police Stations During Eid Holiday Travel
National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has urged citizens intending to travel for Eid al-Fitr or the 2026 Lebaran holiday to deposit vehicles they will leave behind at the nearest police station. He stated that the Indonesian National Police force is prepared to provide service and maintain security.
The appeal was conveyed by Sigit during a Cross-Sectoral Coordination Meeting held at the Mutiara Auditorium, STIK-PTIK Lemdiklat Polri, on Monday (2 March 2026). At this meeting, Sigit also introduced the tagline “Safe Journey, Happy Family.”
The meeting was attended by Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Pratikno, Minister of Religion Nasaruddin Umar, Minister of Trade Budi Santoso, and Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi. Additionally present were the Deputy Commander for Operations of the Indonesian Armed Forces, the Head of the National Disaster Management Agency, the Head of the Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysical Agency, and chief executives from state-owned enterprises including Pertamina, Jasa Marga, and Jasa Raharja.
Sigit stated that vehicle deposit services at police stations are intended to prevent theft and crime while homes are left unoccupied during holiday travel. He expressed hope that such services would provide citizens with greater peace of mind.
“We are providing services to the community, including vehicle deposit services at police offices. Beginning from precinct level, district police headquarters, and provincial police headquarters, as well as local government authorities who will also assist with this—it will be an excellent safekeeping facility,” he said.
He noted that crime vulnerability figures decreased in 2025. Nevertheless, this remains a matter of concern for the Indonesian National Police during this year’s Eid holiday travel period.
“This year we hope these figures can be maintained so that everything decreases. Therefore, I urge colleagues to enhance monitoring and patrols, and involve community potential elements and residents to conduct security in their respective areas and residential zones,” said General Sigit.
Sigit also requested that the 110 emergency service be optimised during the Eid holiday period. He requested his personnel promptly follow up on citizen reports.
“Optimise the 110 service. So that citizens needing assistance can immediately dial the police service 110 so we can respond,” he stated.
The meeting was attended by 302 participants in person, including 28 officials from the National Police Headquarters and 36 provincial police chiefs from across Indonesia. In the structure of Operation Ketupat 2026, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit serves as the Operation Policy Coordinator, assisted by Deputy National Police Chief Lieutenant General Dedi Prasetyo as Deputy Coordinator. Technically, the operation will be led by the Traffic Police Chief Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho as the Operations Commanding Officer. All Operation Ketupat 2026 officials attended this coordination meeting.
Meanwhile, district police chiefs and regional government coordination officials participated in the meeting virtually. Sigit emphasised the importance of synergy and collaboration with all stakeholders in serving citizens travelling for and celebrating Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijri.
