Bogor, Indonesia โ At the 80th Bhayangkara Day ceremony, Indonesian lawmaker Pradi Supriatna lauded the national police for their service and crucial support of national priority programs. The event, held in Cikeas, Bogor Regency, was led by President Prabowo Subianto and attended by Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka and other high-ranking officials.
I was very enthusiastic listening to President Prabowo's direction. Many important messages were conveyed regarding service to the people, strengthening national sovereignty, and the importance of collaboration among all state institutions in facing future challenges.
Supriatna, a member of the West Java DPRD from the Gerindra Faction, emphasized the importance of the police's dedication to the public and their role in strengthening national sovereignty. He noted that the police's contributions extend beyond maintaining security and enforcing laws. Their active involvement in supporting food security and self-sufficiency initiatives demonstrates a broadening role in accelerating national development.
"Police today are not only present in law enforcement and public service, but also contribute to achieving food self-sufficiency. This is a real form of support for the national development agenda," Supriatna stated. He specifically commended the police's support for the "Free Nutritious Meal" (MBG) program, a national priority aimed at improving the quality of Indonesian human resources from an early age. Supriatna believes this synergy is vital for the program's success and for delivering direct benefits to the community.

As the Indonesian National Police celebrates its 80th anniversary, Supriatna expressed his hope for continued professionalism, humanity, and closeness to the public. He urged the institution to enhance public service quality and maintain public trust as the frontline in safeguarding national security and order.
Support from the Police for the MBG program is an important part of succeeding in the national priority program initiated by the government. This kind of synergy needs to be continuously strengthened so that its benefits can be directly felt by the community.
