Ikhlas asked all elements of society to work together to ensure the Bekasi Regency remains safe and free from provocations or potential riots related to the demonstrations in Jakarta.
The public is also urged not to easily believe information circulating on social media, especially content containing calls for anarchic actions.
The police stated that they have found several pieces of information deemed potentially inciting unrest. Officers are currently investigating those suspected of spreading the content.
"We are tracking down those spreading these statements, calls for riots, and anarchic actions," said Ikhlas.
In addition to protecting the environment, the public is asked to play an active role in maintaining security by reporting suspicious activities or individuals to the police.
Reports can be submitted through the nearest police station or by calling 110.
The Bekasi Sub-regional Metro Police hope that the synergy between the police and all elements of society can maintain a conducive situation, so that community activities in Bekasi Regency can continue as normal during the demonstrations in Jakarta.
