onstruction of the new headquarters of the Central Jakarta Police on Jl. Kemayoran Gempol and Jl. Garuda in Central Jakarta is slated to begin in April.
Central Jakarta Mayor Mangara Pardede said recently during a coordination meeting attended by officials from the Central Jakarta administration and the Central Jakarta Police that the city would fully support the plans.
“We support the construction of the new building as the existing building’s condition is no longer adequate,” said Mangara, as quoted by pusat.jakarta.go.id. He added that street vendors near the current building would be relocated.
Central Jakarta Police chief Comr. Roma Hutajulu said that the construction would utilize funds from the National Police logistics budget, booked at Rp 152 billion ($11.1 million).
“The plans will enter the bidding process soon. The grounds must be cleared out by March, so construction can start in early April and finish by the end of the year,” said Roma, adding that the building would have six floors with 10,000 square meters of space. (jlm)
