His team also received a report from a resident about the presence of a disturbing stray dog. Residents not only felt threatened, but also reported being frequently disturbed by the dogs' barking at night.
After further investigation, Djunet confirmed that the stray dog belonged to a local resident. Djunet stated that he had provided education and warnings to the owner to prevent the pet from disturbing the surrounding community.
Meanwhile, regarding the stray cat, Djunet admitted that he had not been able to reach it because he had not found its whereabouts.
Djunet also educated residents, through local neighborhood association (RT/RW) officials, about maintaining environmental cleanliness. Piles of trash attract stray animals to residential areas.
"With collaboration between officers and the community, it is hoped that this problem can be resolved and a cleaner and more comfortable environment can be created," he stated.
