It is intensified every Friday and weekend

Batu Ampar Urban Village Secretary, Abdul Haris expressed that every weekend, the three pillars together with residents, Satpol PP, RT/RW administrators, FKDM, and LMK routinely hold night patrols around the village.

"It is intensified every Friday and weekend," he expressed, Monday (7/29).

His party and residents had set up a security post at the Badminton Court on Jalan Batu Ampar VII, RT 14/05. Every day, residents get a schedule of turns to guard the post.

Kramat Jati Sector Police Chief, Comr. Pol. Tuti Aini added the role of RT/RW administrators together with residents and community leaders in maintaining the environment was very important in creating a conducive situation.

"Daily patrols can be done alternately. So, when we find children hanging out that could trigger a brawl, we can immediately break them up," he asserted.

According to him, his personnel also routinely patrol from 2 AM to 4 AM. They patrol seven urban villages passing through brawl-prone areas.

"I urge all elements to work together to maintain environmental security. Report directly to our members, if you find something suspicious, we'll immediately follow up," he stressed.
