PANIAI \u2013 The Paniai Police have stepped up preventive measures to maintain public security and order in Enarotali City. The measures included vehicle checks and patrols as part of security efforts following calls for planned demonstrations by the National Committee for West Papua (KNPB) in several areas across Papua Raya on Monday (August 3, 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The security operation involved Head of Operations Division of Paniai Police AKP Selvinus P. Sahetapy, S.H., together with Deputy Chief of Paniai Police Kompol Henry Joedo Manurung, S.Sos., as well as several senior officers and personnel from the Paniai Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officers inspected two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles passing through the area around the Madi Traffic Post. During the checks, police officers discovered several sharp weapons being carried by motorists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The items were subsequently secured by officers as a preventive measure to prevent potential misuse and reduce the risk of disturbances that could threaten public security and order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the vehicle checks, police personnel continued patrols across several areas of Enarotali City. The presence of officers in the field was intended to monitor the security situation while ensuring that residents could continue their daily activities safely and orderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Head of Operations Division of Paniai Police AKP Selvinus P. Sahetapy said the measures were part of the police’s efforts to anticipate potential disturbances to public security and order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat we are doing is a preventive measure to keep the situation safe and conducive. We want to ensure that residents can carry out their daily activities comfortably,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Paniai Police also appealed to residents not to carry or store objects that could potentially be used to commit acts of violence. The public was further encouraged to remain calm and avoid being influenced by information whose accuracy has not been verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In responding to the expression of public aspirations, police called on all parties to respect applicable laws and maintain public order. Differences of opinion and public aspirations are expected to be conveyed peacefully and without actions that could harm the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Paniai Police reaffirmed their commitment to prioritizing preventive measures and public services to maintain security within the Paniai jurisdiction. Strong cooperation between law enforcement and the community is considered essential to creating a safe, peaceful, and conducive environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
