Bali
Security Council to be Established Shortly
All components of
the Balinese community—government and
House of Representatives, entrepreneurs,
public figures of several circles—entirely
support the idea of the establishment of
a Bali Security Council. This idea was proposed
by Bali Chief Police, Inspector General
(Pol) Drs. Made Mangku Pastika in a special
meeting at Wiswa Sabha Pratama at the office
of Bali Governor not long ago.
 Made
Mangku Pastika is indeed well known for
his strategic breakthrough in the security
field to protect the society of Bali against
terrorist attacks and other forms of crime.
Post-bombing of three years ago—now
popularly known as Bali Bomb I—he designed
the hotel security system. While, today—post
Bali Bomb II—he offers the establishment
of the Bali Security Council. This offer
acquired positive response from civil authority
(governor, regent/mayor across Bali), chairman
of Bali House of Representatives and that
of other regencies/municipality all over
Bali, entrepreneurs that belong to the Chamber
of Commerce and Industry, principal assembly
of customary village and religious figures
in Bali.
Joint endeavour and commitment to create
Bali as secure has been frequently put into
discourse but no actions at all. “Now,
the government is to take action in regard
the security aspect. I am immensely proud
of this. Moreover, having heard positive
response from Bali Governor through his
Deputy Governor and the Mayor of Denpasar,
I am getting happier,” said Made Mangku
Pastika after hosting the visit of Denpasar
Mayor, AA Puspayoga recently.
Security systems in Bali, according to Mangku,
should be renewed persistently through the
establishment of official institution that
is assigned to discuss intensively the format
of defence against terrorist attack. Integrated
security system that is labelled with Bali
Security Council will be set at the provincial,
regency and sub district level. Elements
involved consists of the executive, legislative,
armed forces, police and other social components.
“In short, all social components are
involved,” he added.
Being asked about the existence of boarding
house that is sensitive to be infiltrated
by terrorist, Pastika judged that demographic
administration system of local migrants
has not worked well in Bali. Data collection
of the urbanists in Denpasar and Badung,
for instance, should be executed precisely.
Government of Badung Regengy and Denpasar
Municipality is asked to produce shortly
Regional Legislation that controls boarding
house, including documentation of its dwellers
along with photograph and other relevant
identities.
Surveillance towards the urbanists cannot
only rely on the police. Preventive action
that involves village apparatus and the
owner of boarding house is even more important.
“If in a hamlet, there is no visual
documentation system yet, simply call the
police. I have assigned special group called
the agency of security and public order
supervision that can take the photograph
of boarding house’s dwellers,”
he uttered.
Mangku Pastika also offered that Bali Security
Council would involve ‘honorary police.’
Such unpaid officer could be taken from
group figures. For instance, an Australian
tourist appointed the ‘honorary police’
to scrutinize tourists from such Kangaroo
Country. “So do for local migrants,
there will be member from Lombok, Java,
Jember and so forth,” he said.
In the meantime, the Mayor Puspayoga said
that Denpasar that was flocked by the urbanists
should have integrated security system.
“As a result, we entirely support the
offer of Bali Chief Police,” he said
following the meeting with Bali Chief Police
that talked over the pattern and strategy
to secure Denpasar.
Medium-long term target
The establishment of Bali Security Council,
according to Mangku Pastika, was the long-term
target. “If possible, it should have
been established within this month,”
he said. In the meantime, for medium to
long-term target, apart from improving the
skill and quality of the existing security
officers, we should absolutely take advantage
the application of sophisticated technology.
“It is important as human may be nonchalant
when the condition has been conducive, while
technology works constantly as long as it
can function well,” Mangku asserted.For
that purpose, the government of Bali Province
is necessary to produce Regional Legislation
that obliges private companies to set CCTV,
aside from recruiting security officers
in accordance with their objective needs
at each company. “So, CCTV in each
company comes to be the responsibility of
the company’s owner, on the contrary,
the establishment of CCTV at strategic places
or public sphere as markets, terminals,
tourist objects and attractions of the government,”
so proposed Made Mangku.
Other smart ideas pertains to security affairs;
specifically intended to new private company
is the obligation to perform security analysis.
For these days, they are just obliged to
comply with the license to build and analysis
on environmental impact. Meanwhile, in the
medium & long-term, except for those
licenses, it needs a regulation that obliges
every investor to comply with the security
analysis.
These methods indicate the solemnity in
handling the programmed, consistent, sustainable
security affairs on the one hand and leave
old methods that were frequently temporary
and insufficient on the other hand. (BTN/jep)
