Security in Jakarta

Security in Jakarta

From Media Indonesia

The increasingly uncontrolled security situation in the capital has pushed the governor to equip his civil servant security personnel (peace and order officer) with tear gas pistols. I agree with him because his decision to equip them with tear gas pistols is based on the real situation in the field, where gangs of criminals or street vendors or members of the society who are being reprimanded by them often attack them physically. It is hoped that the tear gas pistols, which may cause pain to the eyes of those shot at, will minimize the attacks, in which security personnel are sometimes killed.

It is understood that the weapons will be issued only to well- selected personnel who will also be trained on how to operate the pistols, when and where to use them effectively without causing the public fear. On the contrary, we the public at large, are of the hope that with those tear gas pistols the civil security forces will be able to safeguard the capital and protect the residents from criminal gangs, in cooperation with the police.
