Denpasar (Antara Bali) - Hundreds of Balinese customs
security officers, locally known as "Pecalang," will participate in
securing the 85th Interpol general assembly in Nusa Dua, Bali, together
with the police and military security personnel.
"Efforts to secure the Interpol general assembly on November 7 to
10, 2016, will involve police and military security personnel, assisted
by hundreds of pecalang," Bali Police Chief Inspector General said here
on Wednesday.
He said a total of 3,800 police personnel will be assisted by
military and pecalang from several indigenous villages to secure the
Interpol general assembly to discuss a number of agenda, including
terrorism, cyber-crime, drug and human trafficking.
President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is scheduled to open the 85th Interpol general assembly in Nusa Dua, Bali.
Among main speakers at the event will include Tito Karnavian,
National Police Chief General, and Susi Pudjiastuti, Marine and
Fisheries Minister.
Karnavian is scheduled to share his experiences related to the
disclosures and steps to combat terrorism, while Susi will put forward
numerous cases of illegal fishing in Indonesian waters and its impact on
the environment.
The Interpol general assembly will be attended by 1,200 delegates
from 154 member countries of Interpol, 10 Sub-bureau of Interpol,
observers from international organizations, exhibitors, and journalists
from home and abroad.
The Indonesian police, through their initiatives to combat terrorism in the country, has set an example for other countries.
Conducted every year, the Interpol general assembly is a forum to
discuss all major decisions affecting general policy, working methods,
program activities and resources needed for international cooperation.
The decision that comes out of the implementation of the general
assembly of Interpol can be used to improve services, specifically for
law enforcement, to create international cooperation against
international and transnational crimes.
National Police spokesman Inspector General Boy Rafli Amar expressed
hope that Indonesia, which will host the Interpol general assembly,
would do its part to contribute to world peace. (WDY)
