Police and military leaders in Indonesia's Banten province have pledged to enhance their joint efforts to ensure regional stability and security. The commitment was formalized during a recent meeting between officials from the Banten Regional Police (Polda Banten) and the 064/Maulana Yusuf Military Resort Command (Korem 064/MY) in Serang.
TNI and Polri cannot be separated in maintaining the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia and regional security. We continue to maintain this harmonious relationship well, from the leadership level to the Bhabinkamtibmas and Babinsa personnel on the front lines.
Kapolda Banten Irjen Pol. Hengki emphasized that the solidarity between the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the National Police (Polri) is a crucial pillar for facing security challenges. He stressed the importance of maintaining harmonious relations from leadership down to personnel on the ground, such as Bhabinkamtibmas and Babinsa.
Hengki urged all personnel to remain united, collaborate effectively, and resist provocative issues that could disrupt unity. "There must never be any attempt to divide the TNI and Polri. As long as solidarity and synergy are maintained, the security situation in Banten will be more conducive, and we can continue to provide the best service to the people," he stated.

Brigjen TNI Daru Cahyadi Soeprapto, Danrem 064/Maulana Yusuf, echoed this sentiment, viewing the strengthened partnership as vital for successful regional development programs. Beyond security, the collaboration extends to social initiatives, including strengthening food security, rehabilitating substandard housing, and developing clean water facilities to meet basic community needs.
This gathering reaffirms our commitment to togetherness. Korem 064/MY and Polda Banten continue to synergize, both formally and informally, to ensure all regional development agendas for the welfare of the people of Banten can proceed safely and smoothly.
