Police establish Cikarang office

JAKARTA: The City Police opened a new subprecinct office in the industrial zone of Cikarang, Bekasi, as part of efforts to fight terrorism in the capital Jakarta, the city police chief said on Wednesday.

"We also need the local administration to help ... and not simply issue identity cards to newcomers without cooperating with us on checking on them first," Insp. Gen. Firman Gani said in a speech.

He said another police precinct office would soon be opened in eastern Jakarta.

Firman also said intelligence activities would be stepped up in other Jakarta buffer zones. -- JP
