Chief of Police Surveys Bundaran HI for New Year’s Eve Security
The countdown to 2025 is here, and so is the enhanced vigilance by Indonesia’s law enforcement. In a notable move, the Chief of Police (Kapolri) was spotted at Bundaran HI, the city’s iconic roundabout, on the evening of New Year’s Eve.
Witnesses report that the Kapolri’s visit was part of routine security checks to ensure a peaceful and safe celebration for all. "The Kapolri was seen conducting a round of inspections, checking in with officers, and discussing strategies to maintain order during the festivities," said a source close to the matter.
This is not the first time the Kapolri has been seen at Bundaran HI on New Year’s Eve. In 2025, he was reportedly present not once, but twice, further underscoring the police force’s commitment to public safety during the holiday season.
In a separately reported incident, President Joko Widodo expressed optimism while addressing the nation on New Year’s Eve. Speaking to a crowd gathered at the Presidential Palace, the President echoed sentiments of hope and unity as the country looks ahead to 2025.
Meanwhile, in a bid to extend security measures nationwide, the Kapolri was also said to have been monitoring the situation via video conferencing with regional police chiefs. "Technology is being leveraged to ensure that no stone is left unturned in our commitment to protecting Indonesian citizens," said a police spokesperson.
With these robust security measures in place, Indonesian citizens can look forward to celebrating the New Year with confidence and joy. As always, the police remind the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to ensure a safe and memorable start to 2025.
