Inp.polri.go.id - Palembang. The South Sumatra Regional Police implemented a humanistic VVIP security scheme during Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s working visit to Palembang on Thursday (16/7/2026), ensuring public activities and traffic remained unaffected.

Accompanied by South Sumatra Regional Chief Inspector General Sandi Nugroho, the operation covered several locations including Siti Fatimah Hospital and the Musi V Bridge. South Sumatra Police deployed a joint force of 1,009 officers across multiple task forces, including traffic safety, preventive, and law enforcement units.

"We have deployed 1,009 joint officers," said South Sumatra Police Director of Operations Senior Superintendent M. Anis Prasetio. "Our security principle ensures VVIP safety, while the economic pulse and public routines must keep running."

Echoing this, South Sumatra Police Head of Public Relations Senior Superintendent Nandang Mu'min Wijaya added that the flexible deployment focused on public service rather than road closures, maintaining smooth mobility for Palembang residents.
