North Sumatra security and anti-drug initiatives

Overview

North Sumatra Regional Police Chief Inspector General Sonny Irawan has launched several initiatives to bolster regional stability and institutional cooperation. Initially, efforts focused on strengthening synergy between the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the National Police (Polri) to maintain public order, alongside calls for community vigilance against social media provocation and drug trafficking.

Following these efforts, the focus expanded to intensified collaboration with the North Sumatra National Narcotics Board (BNNP) to optimize drug prevention and enforcement. This cooperation led to specific enforcement actions, such as a ‘Drug Nest Operation’ in Asahan Regency conducted by joint police and narcotics board personnel, which resulted in the seizure of methamphetamine and the detention of three suspects.
