Denpasar (Antara Bali) - Bali Hotels Association (BHA), an association of over 100 star rated hotels in Bali signed a memorandum of Understanding with the Integrated Police Radio Community Bali (IPRC).
Email ANTARA received in Denpasar, Wednesday, stated, IPRC is a relatively new initiative that links the public via UHF radio to the police. The system is geared to provide reliable communications during emergencies as well as better accessibility of regular police assistance.
The integrated police radio community enables its members to link to POLSEK Kuta 24 hours a day. Regular round calls provide situation updates, assisting the police to anticipate problems before they arise, track suspicious persons and to exchange security and safety related information without delays throughout Southern Bali.
The public private partnership (PPP) initiative was started after last years Jakarta bombing. Initial equipment such as antennas and base stations was donated by Bali Hotels Association.
The system is managed by IPRC in close cooperation with Polsek Kuta. IPRC and Polsek Kuta provide comprehensive technical and practical training to IPRC members. The training covers security related subjects such as police radio etiquette, crime scene management and SATPAM training.
Monday’s signing ceremony cemented the cooperation between IPRC and BHA in order to ensure the sustainable development of the system in the future.
The MoU was signed by the Head of Kuta Police Dody Prawira, IPRC Chief Jonathan Soehartono, BHA chairman JC Le Coz, BHA Security and Safety Director Andrew Gall, BHA Security and Safety Executive Alexander Kesper as well as BHA Executive Director Djinaldi Gosana in the presence of UNDSS (United Nations Department Safety and Security) representatives.
Businesses throughout Southern Bali are encouraged to sign up for IPRC. Every new member will boost Bali’s resilience against any threat.(*)
