inp.polri.go.id - Makassar. The South Sulawesi Regional Police deployed 4,550 personnel to secure the celebrations of Christmas and New Year. In addition, thousands of troops joined the candlelight operation, which will be carried out from December 22, 2021, to January 2, 2022. Acting Head of Public Relations of the South Sulawesi Regional Police, Pol. Grand Commissioner Ade Indrawan said the Christmas candlelight operation was more focused on anticipating a spike in Covid 19 cases. The mobility of residents that could trigger the spread of the virus was limited so that a third wave would not occur. "The leader, in this case, is the South Sulawesi Regional Police Chief, Pol. Inspector -General Nana Sujana emphasized that every work unit, both Resort Departemental Police and Resort Police, should learn from last year's experience, which experienced a spike. So that is what we anticipate," said the Head of Public Relations of the South Sulawesi Regional Police, Friday (12/3/21). He added that thousands of personnel were on static and mobile stand-by. They will patrol several crowded points, including tourist attractions. However, Ade is reluctant to specify the number of personnel at each point to maintain personnel security. "Including that, the anticipation of terror vulnerabilities. The National Police guarantees the security of the implementation of Christmas and New Year so that there are no crowds or things that disturb the security and public order. Yes, of course, raids for fireworks, firecrackers and the like," explained the Head of Public Relations of the South Sulawesi Regional Police. The former Sidrap Resort Police Chief stated that thousands of personnel were alerted to churches with the involvement of the TNI and the government as well. Including securing the imposition of Community Activity Restriction Enforcement (PPKM) level, three will be re-implemented by the government. National Police personnel in the field have been instructed to make humane efforts regarding enforcement. "We hope that all elements of the government and society can maintain a synergy for how public security order in South Sulawesi remains conducive," he concluded.
