Metropolitan police chief hands over patrol cars to staff: symbol of service to citizens

Jakarta – Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Asep Edi Suheri symbolically handed over the Patrol, Security and Integrated Community Service (Pamapta) operational vehicle to the Police and Sector Police. Inspector General Asep explained that this car is a mandate for all members to provide the best service to the community. “The handover of these vehicles is not only a distribution of operational facilities, but also a symbol of responsibility and trust in service to the community,” Inspector General Asep said when he handed over the cars at the Ditreskrimsus Polda Metro Jaya field, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (22/10/2025). Asep said the handover of the patrol car is a form of Polda Metro Jaya’s commitment and responsibility to increase staff readiness. This car is also expected to speed up services to the community. PAGE TO CONTINUE CONTENT A total of 40 Pamapta cars will be distributed to 13 police stations. Each police station will receive three vehicles. Today’s delivery of patrol cars is the second phase with a total of 8 units. Previously, there were 5 new patrol cars that were first in operation. This Pamapta patrol vehicle will be operational immediately to support patrol activities ranging from security to handling public reports in the field. Asep explained that the term Pamapta was not new within the National Police. Pamapata was used earlier and is now being revived as part of the transformation of the National Police organization into a more modern and humanistic public service.

Asep also explained about the Guard Jakarta program initiated by Polda Metro Jaya. He invited all elements of the society to look after the citizens, look after the environment, look after the rules and look after the Trust to create a safe and orderly capital city. “With this additional fleet, we hope that patrols can cover a wider area and respond faster to every citizen’s report. Most importantly, personnel will maintain ethics and norms in their duties,” he added. Meanwhile, Polda Metro Jaya head of public relations Brigadier General Ade Ary Syam Indradi explained that the Pamapta car was meant for Samapta officers and protest officers at the Polres and Polsek levels. Ade Ary said this is a form of Metropolitan Police Chief Inspector General Asep’s commitment to improving community services. “This is a form of commitment and responsibility of the Metro Jaya police chief to increase preparedness in services to the community, especially to respond to every report that comes in,” said Ade Ary. He believes the presence of the Pamapta car will speed up officers’ response to public reports. “When a report comes in, Pamapta officers will immediately coordinate with the reporter, and then go to the scene of the incident (CSI) to provide professional assistance and initial police action,” he said. Ade also reminded the public not to hesitate to report to 110 as an easily accessible reporting channel if they need help. This service is toll-free and active 24 hours a day, allowing people to report from anywhere. The report will be immediately sent to the Pamapta unit for follow-up in the field. “If people call 110 from Bekasi, the Bekasi Metro Police will answer. If in Tangerang, the Tangerang City Metro Police will automatically answer,” he concluded. (yangs/yangs)
