akarta-based anticrime community Turn Back Crime Indonesia has worked together with popular Korea-based messaging application Line to support its campaign on the fight against crime in the city by creating stickers emblazoned with pictures of prominent Jakarta Police officers who wear Turn Back Crime attire.
“We have partnered with Line to promote our fight against crime. With Line, we can use not only news but also stickers to promote our anticrime efforts,” Jakarta Police general crimes director Sr. Comr. Krishna Murti said as quoted by kompas.com on Tuesday.
He further said the creation of the stickers was aimed at making people admire the police. The initiative was also aimed at encouraging people to play more active roles in fighting crime.
“We as the initiator of the Turn Back Crime Indonesia want to make people more fond of the police so we can work together to fight crime. So that’s why I’m partnering with Line,” said Krishna.
If relations between the police and society became warmer, he said, it would be easier for the police to involve them in fighting crime.
Krishna is among Jakarta Police officers popular for their success in fighting crime, including a bomb attack on Jl. MH Thamrin in Central Jakarta in January.
Stickers, which can be downloaded for free, display the pictures of Krishna and several other senior officers at the Jakarta Police’s Criminal Investigation Department, including the police’s general crimes deputy director Adj.Sr.Comr. Herry Heryawan and Comr. Teuku Arsya Khadafi, head of the mobile investigation division at the police’s general crimes unit. (ebf)
