Police offer rapid response service

JAKARTA: In an effort to improve services to the public, the city
police have vowed to respond to every public crime report within
15 minutes and provide 36 telephone channels as part of their
rapid response service.

City police spokesman Sr. Comr. Prasetyo told the media on
Tuesday that the public could submit crime reports via the police
free telephone number 112, which has 31 channels and is available
24 hours per day.

He said that the police had also increased their patrols in
public and entertainment places, particularly during the Idul
Fitri, Christmas and New Year festivities.

According to him, the police had mobilized some 14,000
officers to secure the holidays.

He said that crimes had decreased, particularly from Nov. 28
to Dec. 5, thanks to police security measures. "Compared with
last year, criminal cases during the festivities this year
dropped significantly," he was quoted by Antara as saying.--JP
