Police intensity operation

JAKARTA (JP): City police will intensify a security operation,
code-named Kilat Jaya, to secure the capital during the
celebration of Indonesia's independence day on Aug. 17.

Head of the City Police for Operation and Command Center, Col.
Muhantojo, told reporters yesterday that the operation will start
next week.

"Basically, this is a routine operation but the police intends
to intensify it as an effort to strengthen security in the city,"
he said, adding that the operation will crack down on people who
disturb public order.

Muhantojo also said the upcoming operation will involve more
judges and prosecutors because it will conduct on-the-spot trials
for violators.

"I think it is more efficient to implement on-the-spot trials
because it will not take long to prosecute violators in the
street," he said. (yns)
