Prevent Bullying, Metro Police Chief Launches School Partnership Forum
The Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Inspector General Asep Edi Suheri, launched the Forum for Police and School Community Partnership (FKPMS). The forum was established as an effort to prevent bullying in educational settings.
The launch ceremony took place at SMKN 1 Jakarta in Central Jakarta, attended by representatives from local government, the military, religious leaders, community figures, regional authorities, school officials, and students.
Inspector General Asep emphasised that schools are places where the nation’s future generation develops. He stated that the FKPMS launch was motivated by various challenges in the educational environment, ranging from bullying, violence, and harassment to fighting, negative social media influences, and deviant behaviour resulting from social pressure.
Inspector General Asep reported that throughout 2025, the Jakarta Metro Police handled approximately 2,706 cases of violence against women and children in the Jakarta area. The forum is expected to provide a solution to existing problems.
“The presence of FKPMS is a strategic step in strengthening partnership between the police, schools, parents, and the community. This forum is presented as a channel for communication, coordination, and problem-solving in a swift and appropriate manner, to create a safe, orderly, and conducive educational environment,” said Inspector General Asep in his statement on Wednesday, 11 March 2026.
Inspector General Asep emphasised that communication between school personnel, parents, the community, and police should be strengthened so that any potential disruption can be identified. He also stressed the importance of the role of school elements and student organisations in building a healthy school culture, discipline, and free from bullying and drug abuse.
“With the establishment of FKPMS in 11 schools, we hope this partnership forum can continue to be developed across the Jakarta region and become a collaborative model that can be applied in other schools. The Jakarta Metro Police will continue to support preventive measures while prioritising a humanitarian and professional approach to create a safe, orderly, and conducive educational environment,” he explained.
Furthermore, Inspector General Asep hoped that FKPMS would be the first step towards collaborative efforts to build a safe and sustainable educational ecosystem. The Jakarta Metro Police is committed to continuing to serve as a community partner in safeguarding the security of the educational environment.
