Inp.polri.go.id - Banjarmasin. The Banjarmasin City Sub-regional , South Kalimantan, partnered with local administration agencies and private enterprises to launch the "Police Care for Unemployment" (Poliran) program to help local job seekers secure employment.

The Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) data indicates Banjarmasin’s open unemployment rate stood at 6.49 percent in August 2025, higher than South Kalimantan's provincial average of 4.16 percent, with total job seekers reaching 21,220 people as of April 2026.

"The Poliran program is not merely a ceremonial initiative, but a concrete form of shared responsibility to assist residents searching for work," Banjarmasin Police Chief Senior Superintendent Riza Muttaqin said on Friday (16/10/2026).

Under the initiative, police will act as facilitators connecting job applicants with companies. Bhabinkamtibmas community policing officers will collect data on job seekers at the neighborhood level, mapping their skills and distributing verified employment listings directly to residents.
