Through initiatives like this, we want to demonstrate that the presence of the state extends beyond security efforts and includes care, attention, and social responsibility toward local communities,” said Inspector General of Police Dr. Faizal Ramadhani.
He emphasized that efforts to build a peaceful and secure Papua should be accompanied by social programs that provide direct benefits to communities, particularly those requiring additional support and assistance.
