Police and Community Organisations in West Jakarta Hold Joint Security Readiness Meeting to Strengthen Security During Ramadan
The West Jakarta Police Department held a Joint Security Readiness Meeting with representatives from all community organisations in the West Jakarta area. The joint meeting with community organisations was held to strengthen security during Ramadan.
The meeting was held at the Green Field of the West Jakarta Police Department on Thursday, 26 February 2026. The meeting was led directly by the West Jakarta Police Chief, Commissioner Twedi Aditya Bennyahdi. A total of 205 representatives from various community organisations attended, including FBR, GRIB, LMP, Forkabi, Banser, Pokdarkamtibmas Citra Bhayangkara, Saka Bhayangkara, Satlinmas, Karang Taruna, and Senkom.
In his speech, Commissioner Twedi appreciated the presence of all elements of the community organisations as a real form of shared commitment to protecting the environment from various potential threats and disturbances, especially in the current Ramadan atmosphere and the rapidly developing social dynamics.
“Potential security disturbances can arise from small things, starting from provocations on social media, misunderstandings between groups, to narratives that can divide society,” said Twedi in his statement on Thursday, 26 February.
“Let us work together to create a safe and comfortable environment: safe for residents who are active, safe for road users, business actors, places of worship, and safe in the digital space. In addition, it provides a sense of peace and the certainty of the presence of the state together with the community,” he added.
Twedi invited all participants in the meeting to move in the same frequency, taking care of each other, reminding each other, and supporting each other. Prevention and early detection efforts are key to maintaining the peace of the region, especially with high community activity leading up to Eid al-Fitr.
“First, be an example of order in each environment by obeying the rules, maintaining good behaviour in public spaces and ethics in the digital space. Also, avoid illegal convoys and actions that disrupt public order,” he said.
Second, reject and stop the spread of provocations, hoaxes, hate speech, and calls for violence. The public is urged to filter information before sharing it, check the source, and ensure its accuracy so that the digital space remains healthy and does not become a trigger for conflict in the field.
“Third, prioritise deliberation and communication that is soothing in resolving every problem, both in residential areas, places of business, places of worship and public spaces, so that every problem can be resolved in a dignified manner,” he said.
He hopes that the synergy between the Police and all elements of community organisations will become even stronger in maintaining West Jakarta’s safety, order and conduciveness throughout the holy month of Ramadan until the upcoming Eid al-Fitr.
