Indonesian regional police community engagement

Overview

Regional police chiefs in Indonesia have initiated meetings with various community sectors to promote social stability and transparency.

In North Sumatra, Inspector General Sonny Irawan met with the Indonesian Buddhist Representative Council (WALUBI) to foster religious harmony and urge public vigilance against provocations based on ethnicity or religion.

In South Sumatra, Inspector General Rony Samtana met with journalists and editors-in-chief to strengthen media partnerships. Samtana described the press as a ‘main pillar of democracy’ and emphasized the need for accurate, accountable information to support public security and order.

Expanding these outreach efforts, police officials have launched initiatives to strengthen interfaith tolerance. In Palembang, South Sumatra, Deputy Regional Police Chief Brigadier General Irwansyah attended a service at the Alfa Omega Pentecostal Church as part of a 100-day work program by the National Police Chief. This program aims to ensure congregants can worship in a safe environment.

In Sidoarjo, East Java, Police Chief AKBP Bobby A. Condroputra met with the Indonesian Christian Church (GKI) congregation. This engagement is part of the ‘Sidoarjo Akrab Seiman’ (SAS) program, which focuses on securing places of worship and fostering harmonious communication between the police and diverse community elements.
