Patuh Jaya Operation Postponed, Police: Routine Enforcement Continues
The Jakarta Metropolitan Police Traffic Directorate (Ditlantas) has postponed the implementation of the Patuh Jaya Operation, but has ensured that daily traffic enforcement and monitoring of violators on the highway will continue as normal.
“The Patuh operation activities have been postponed, but routine activities are proceeding as usual,” stated the Director of Traffic for the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Kombes Pol Komarudin, in a statement in Jakarta on Monday.
He explained that the public should not assume that the postponement of the Patuh Jaya Operation implies a relaxation of field supervision. The police force continues to prioritise three main pillars in maintaining daily traffic order: pre-emptive, preventive, and law enforcement activities.
According to Komarudin, daily law enforcement will continue to target rule breakers through both electronic systems and direct, persuasive actions. “Law enforcement, such as static and mobile ETLE (Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement), sympathetic warnings, and even fines for violations that potentially threaten safety, will still be carried out,” said Komarudin. He added that the operation is part of the annual activity plan, and the delay is merely a matter of timing.
Furthermore, the Jakarta Metropolitan Police Traffic Directorate has urged all sectors of society not to disregard safety and to remain compliant with traffic regulations for the collective interest and safety on the roads.
Previously, the Jakarta Metropolitan Police Traffic Directorate had planned to deploy 2,798 joint personnel for the 2026 Patuh Jaya Operation, scheduled to run simultaneously from 8 to 21 June 2026. Komarudin noted that the 14-day regional operation carried the theme “Achieving Safe, Smooth, and Orderly Traffic” to respond to the 3 per cent growth in vehicle numbers in Jakarta. “With such rapid growth in vehicle numbers, a high level of compliance from drivers is required. We are also involving elements from the TNI (Indonesian National Armed Forces), the Department of Transportation, and the Public Order Agency (Satpol PP),” Komarudin concluded.
