JAKARTA - National Police Chief General Pol Listyo Sigit Prabowo instructed all police ranks to be more active in attending the community and immediately resolve various disturbing problems, especially the rampant acts of thuggery in a number of areas.
"Premanism, cases in industrial areas, and the issue of debt collectors is an issue that must be resolved. The presence of the Police must be real," said the National Police Chief after attending the Baharkam Technical Working Meeting (Rakernis) and the Brimob Corps at PTIK, Jakarta, Thursday, May 15, 2025.
He emphasized that the National Police had held a Community Disease Operation (Pekat) to respond to acts of thuggery, but the intensity of the operation needed to be increased because similar phenomena were increasingly widespread and disturbing the public.
"We will increase Operation Pekat, especially for cases that are troubling the community," said the National Police Chief.
In addition to Operation Pekat, the National Police also continues the regional simultaneous operations that have been going on since May 1, 2025. Handling will be adjusted to the dynamics and needs in each region.
General Sigit emphasized the importance of direct communication between the police and the community. According to him, the quick response to residents' complaints is a tangible form of service and protection.
He also said that eradicating thuggery was not only related to social order, but also had a direct impact on the investment climate.
"The National Police is committed to maintaining the investment program and national economic growth. Thugs should not interfere with this stability," he stressed.
