The Central Java Regional Police officially welcomes a new era of leadership following a solemn handover ceremony. The command baton of the Central Java Police Chief has officially transitioned from Inspector General (Irjen Pol) Ribut Hari Wibowo to Inspector General (Irjen Pol) Roy Hardi Siahaan. This historic moment was marked by the traditional handover of the Pataka Maneka Tunggal Dharma, an esteemed emblem representing immense responsibility, unwavering integrity, and limitless dedication to the community and the nation.

The Pataka Maneka Tunggal Dharma handover ceremony transcends a mere administrative formality. It holds deep philosophical significance for every member of the Indonesian National Police force. Through this transition, Irjen Pol Roy Hardi Siahaan officially assumes the mandate to maintain public security, order, and stability across the entire jurisdiction of Central Java. To honor this transition, the Central Java Police organized a special Welcome and Farewell Party, meticulously designed to bid a respectful farewell to Irjen Pol Ribut Hari Wibowo and to greet the new chief with high optimism and renewed energy.

Primary Focus: Eradicating Violent Robberies and Drugs

It did not take long for Irjen Pol Roy Hardi Siahaan to demonstrate his strict leadership style. Immediately upon taking office, the high-ranking police officer issued firm directives to all ranks within the Central Java Police force. The primary focus at the beginning of his tenure is the complete eradication of street crimes, specifically violent robberies (commonly known as begal), and the illicit drug trade that deeply unsettles the local communities.

He boldly stated that there will be no tolerance for criminals, especially violent robbers who threaten the lives of the public and drug syndicates that systematically destroy the future of the younger generation. This firm instruction serves as a strong signal that under his command, the Central Java Police will prioritize measured, repressive actions against all forms of serious criminal acts. He explicitly instructed all units, from the regional headquarters down to the district police stations, to intensify patrols and to not hesitate in taking strict, decisive actions in accordance with the prevailing legal procedures.

Synergy and Lasting Community Service

In addition to strict law enforcement, the new Central Java Police Chief also emphasized the critical importance of synergy between the police force, local government agencies, and the general public. Security is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement apparatus; it is the result of close collaboration among all elements of society. Irjen Pol Roy Siahaan invited all citizens of Central Java to actively participate in maintaining neighborhood security, partly by promptly reporting any suspicious activities to the local authorities.

Meanwhile, Irjen Pol Ribut Hari Wibowo, who has concluded his service as the Central Java Police Chief, leaves behind a highly commendable legacy. During his dedicated tenure, he successfully reduced overall crime rates and maintained security stability during various significant regional events. His unwavering dedication received the highest appreciation from the entire police rank and file, as well as government elements across Central Java. He expressed his sincere hope that the positive programs initiated during his time will be continued and further enhanced by his capable successor. The farewell event was colored with a touching atmosphere of institutional solidarity and deep brotherhood.

Under the steadfast command of Irjen Pol Roy Hardi Siahaan, the Central Java Police are expected to manifest a tangible sense of security among the populace. The presence of the police must be felt not only when crimes occur, but also as daily protectors and guardians of the community. With the strong commitment shown at the very beginning of his tenure, the public places immense hope in a safer, more conducive Central Java, thoroughly free from the looming threats of street crimes and dangerous narcotics.
