National Police Chief (Kapolri) Police General Suyudi Ario Seto urged Islamic scholars (ulama), religious figures, regional governments (pemda), and all elements of society to strengthen synergy in maintaining public order and security (kamtibmas) in East Java.

The call was delivered during the National Police Chief's Public Security Gathering with East Java Ulama held at the Mahameru Building, East Java Regional Police Headquarters (Mapolda), Surabaya, on Saturday (10/17/2026). The National Police Chief was accompanied by East Java Regional Police Chief (Kapolda) Police Inspector General (Irjen Pol) Dekananto Eko Purwono.

The meeting was attended by East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa, the East Java Regional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda), high-ranking officials from National Police Headquarters (Mabes Polri) and East Java Regional Police (Polda Jatim), district police chiefs (kapolres), as well as ulama and Islamic clerics (kiai) from various regions across East Java.

Suyudi conveyed that the working visit to East Java Regional Police served as an opportunity to reinforce bonds with ulama, kiai, senior figures, and the East Java Forkopimda ranks.

Call for Synergy and Fair Law Enforcement

Suyudi stated that the working visit to East Java Regional Police was an opportunity to foster ties with ulama, kiai, elders, and the East Java Forkopimda ranks. He emphasized that every execution of police duties must be accompanied by a commitment to just law enforcement.

"We ask for prayers and support so that we can carry out our duties in providing service, protection, and guardianship to the public, as well as conducting just law enforcement efforts in this region," said Suyudi.

On that occasion, the National Police Chief also requested prayers and support from the ulama and all elements of society so that the Indonesian National Police (Polri) can carry out its duties optimally, particularly in providing service, protection, and guardianship to the public.
