Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Indonesian National Police (INP) conducted proactive dialogic patrols under the centralized nation-wide Operation Lilin 2025–2026 on 18 and 19 December to maintain public security during the Christmas and New Year holidays, targeting areas with increased public activity.

“This dialogic patrol is aimed at ensuring a safe and conducive situation while strengthening trust between police officers and the community,” said Brigadier General Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko, the INP Public Relations Division Head of Public Information Bureau, as cited by antaranews.com

The patrols involved personnel across regional police units and focused on churches, tourist destinations, shopping centers, transportation hubs, hotels, and national vital objects. Officers coordinated directly with site managers, religious leaders, internal security staff, and local stakeholders.

Activities included security checks, monitoring operating hours, estimating visitor numbers, managing traffic and parking, and identifying potential risks such as crowd congestion and public order disturbances. Police also delivered safety and public order advisories to residents to prevent incidents during peak holiday movements.
