inp.polri.go.id - Bandung. Professor and Lecturer of Law at UPI Bandung, prof. Cecep Darmawan assessed the phenomenon of the emergence of conventional gambling (Casinos) in the City of Bandung which was successfully uncovered by the West Java Regional Police as a concern over the presence of Casinos in the Capital of West Java.

Cecep also highly appreciated the steps and efforts of the police who succeeded in uncovering the Casino case.

"We have to give our appreciation to the police, because they have been quick to handle this problem. Of course, this case must be investigated thoroughly, who the owner is, who plays there, the customers, and all of their networks must be processed legally, accountably, and openly," he said when contacted.

Cecep also suspected that if the establishment was built under the guise of shops or other entertainment venues, there is possibility that there are more Casinos out there.

"We have to improve our monitoring by involving the community to create massive police intelligence so that neither the government nor the police are caught off guard," he said.

He also called on the community to be aware and immediately report to the police if there are suspicious activities.
