TANGERANG: The Tangerang Police say that a fast-response policy and a new task force have led to 44 arrests in one week in one the nation’s most crime-ridden regencies.
“We quickly followed up every report that came in from the community and arrested 44 suspects between Feb. 27 and March 6,” Tangerang Regency Police chief Sr. Comr. Bambang Priyo Andogo said on Tuesday.
The suspects were detained for several offenses, including robbery, vehicle theft, burglary, weapon possessions and fraud.
“Tangerang regency has always been ranked third in the list of regions with the highest number of criminal cases across the nation. We are striving to reduce the regency’s crime ranking,” Bambang said.
The police recently set up an anti-crime task force to deter criminals by focusing on community monitoring and empowerment in 33 districts across the regency.
“Just three months after the task force was formed, the number of crimes solved by the police has sharply increased,” Bambang said.
