Oksibil – Personnel from the ‘Damai Cartenz-2026’ Operation Police Task Force (Satgas) in the Pegunungan Bintang sector conducted a routine patrol on Saturday (November 14, 2026), targeting areas deemed vulnerable and suspected of being transit routes for Armed Criminal Groups (KKB) within the Pegunungan Bintang Regency.
The patrol covered several locations, stretching from the area around the Pegunungan Bintang Regent’s Office to the RRI (Radio Republik Indonesia) post in the Oksibil District. This initiative is part of broader efforts to maintain security stability and ensure that the public order and safety (kamtibmas) situation remains conducive for the local community.
Beyond monitoring security, the Task Force personnel employed a humanistic approach by engaging with residents in the vicinity of the patrol route. During these interactions, the personnel provided basic healthcare services, including blood pressure checks, general health assessments, consultations for health concerns, and the distribution of essential medicines based on individual needs and available supplies.
The personnel also advised residents to prioritize their health, remain mindful of their surroundings, and promptly inform security forces if they become aware of any potential threats to public order or safety in their neighborhood.
The presence of the personnel was well-received by the local community. Frans Kupel, a resident encountered during the activity, expressed his appreciation for the attention and care shown by the Task Force members, who took the time to engage directly with the public and provide essential services.
“Thank you to the police officers for coming and looking after us. We are very pleased that, in addition to maintaining security, they have also taken the time to help check our health and see how the people here are doing. We hope that activities like this will continue,” said Frans Kupel.
Head of Operation Damai Cartenz-2026, Police Inspector General Dr. Faizal Ramadhani, S.Sos., S.I.K., M.H., emphasized that the presence of Task Force personnel among the public should not focus solely on maintaining security; rather, it must also provide tangible benefits and services directly to the residents.
“Through routine patrols, we aim to ensure that security is maintained while simultaneously building a closer relationship with the community. Our personnel are instructed to prioritize a humanistic approach—listening to the needs of the residents and providing assistance tailored to their requirements on the ground. We want the public to feel that the presence of the National Police is part of a collective effort to foster a sense of security and a better quality of life,” stated the Head of Operations.
Through these initiatives, the ‘Operasi Damai Cartenz-2026’ (Peaceful Cartenz Operation) Police Task Force hopes that the presence of its personnel in the Pegunungan Bintang region will further strengthen the bond between security forces and the community, enhance public trust, and ensure a safe and conducive public order and security environment.
