Police in Bali, as well as border control officers and security forces, stepped up surveillance operations due to Indonesia`s terror alert increasing. Following the bombing of the Astanaanyar Police Headquarters in Bandung City, West Java, on Wednesday, December 7, the police in Bali are not taking any risks to secure the island and tighten the entrance to Bali.

“Yes, the point is that we are stepping up our vigilance against this incident,” said Bali Police Public Relations Officer (Kabid Humas) Kombes Stefanus Satake Bayu Setianto.

Satakebayu said his party is now carrying out a Condition Creation Operation. During this operation, the tightening is carried out at the entrances to Bali, Padang Bai Port, Gilimanuk Port, Benoa Harbor, Celukan Bawang Port, and across public transportation terminals.

“The authorities will carry out further checks, as they deem appropriate, of a traveler’s personal information, the purpose of the trip, and a thorough inspection of the traveler’s luggage,” he explained.

His party has also increased patrol by police officers at various vulnerable locations and important places. Especially Nusa Dua, which is currently holding International conferences.

The Bali regional police deployed 864 personnel to secure activities held in Nusa Dua to secure Christmas and New Year celebrations

Meanwhile, for the Christmas and New Year celebrations, in addition to the Condition Creation operation, the Bali Regional Police has prepared a mapping of vulnerable points, as well as the readiness of the facilities and infrastructure to be used at the Christmas celebration so that the security situation and public order remain conducive.

The Vice Bali Regional Police Brigadier General Ketut Suardana hopes that the community will fully support efforts to create conducive community security and order so that the Christmas and New Year celebrations will run safely and in an orderly manner.

Wadanyon C of the Bali Brimobda Gilimanuk Pioneer, AKP I Gede Sukanada, said guarding the Gilimanuk Harbor was a routine activity ahead of Nataru.
