The Metro Jaya Regional Police have officially launched Operation Keselamatan Jaya 2026 with a significant troop deployment ceremony, signaling a renewed focus on enhancing traffic order and road safety across Jakarta and its surrounding areas. This crucial event, held at the Metro Jaya Police Traffic Directorate field on Monday, February 2, was personally led by the Deputy Chief of Metro Jaya Regional Police, Brigadier General Dekananto Eko Purwono.
In his address, Brigadier General Dekananto emphasized that the assembly served as a vital readiness check for all personnel involved, simultaneously marking the commencement of this region-wide traffic operation.
“The troop deployment ceremony held today is a testament to the comprehensive readiness of the National Police and all relevant stakeholders,” stated Dekananto during his speech on Monday, February 2. He further elaborated that the event allowed for a final inspection of personnel, infrastructure, and operational procedures, officially inaugurating Operation Keselamatan Jaya 2026 as a critical regional effort dedicated to improving traffic conditions.
This proactive traffic safety operation is strategically timed ahead of the holy month of Ramadan, a period traditionally associated with a significant surge in public mobility and road activity. Such heightened movement inherently carries the potential for increased traffic congestion, a greater risk of violations, and a rise in accidents across Jakarta’s bustling streets.
“As the sacred month of Ramadan approaches, public mobility tends to escalate, directly contributing to traffic congestion and a higher potential for both violations and accidents,” he explained, highlighting the critical need for heightened vigilance.
Dekananto further emphasized that Jakarta, as the nation’s bustling activity hub, absolutely requires safe and orderly traffic conditions. This, he asserted, directly reflects the level of societal discipline and cultural adherence to rules.
He clarified that Operation Keselamatan Jaya 2026 is scheduled to run for a full two weeks, encompassing the entire jurisdictional area of the Metro Jaya Regional Police.
“Operation Keselamatan Jaya 2026 will be executed over 14 days, specifically from February 2nd to February 15th, 2026, across all districts under the jurisdiction of the Metro Jaya Regional Police,” he stated, outlining the precise timeline and scope.
Significantly, he added, this operation places strong emphasis on fostering public awareness and responsibility, moving beyond mere enforcement to cultivate a deeper understanding of road safety.
“The primary objective of this operation is to elevate public awareness and compliance with traffic regulations, thereby actively reducing the incidence of violations, accidents, and fatalities,” he continued, underscoring the life-saving goals.
Dekananto also affirmed that the operational approach adopted will be predominantly preventive and educational, focusing on guiding rather than solely penalizing.
“The operation specifically targets traffic violations that possess a high potential for causing accidents,” he clarified, detailing the strategic focus.
Meanwhile, the Director of Traffic for the Metro Jaya Regional Police, Senior Commissioner Komarudin, revealed that thousands of joint personnel have been deployed to bolster this crucial operation. These officers will be strategically positioned at various key points throughout the Jakarta region.
“For this particular operation, we have mobilized a total of 2,939 joint personnel, who will be strategically deployed across all areas of Jakarta,” he elaborated after the assembly, emphasizing the extensive manpower dedicated to the initiative.
