Our routine patrols are a preventive measure to reduce the potential for criminal acts, including muggings. The presence of personnel in the field is expected to provide a sense of security and narrow the space for perpetrators.

Patrols will target quiet streets, poorly lit areas, and locations with a high risk of street crime. The primary goal is to maintain regional security and ensure residents can go about their activities safely, especially during the night and early morning hours. The police also emphasized that community participation is crucial for maintaining security.

Residents are advised to stay alert while traveling, avoid deserted routes when possible, and ensure their vehicles are in good condition. The Ambon Police are also using various information channels to educate the public on crime prevention. They encourage citizens to report any disturbances or crimes to the nearest police station or use the emergency number 110 for immediate assistance.
