Maharani reaffirmed that the police force that served the public for 75 years had brought a sense of safety and order and offered public service.
"Happy 75th anniversary to the Indonesian Bhayangkara. May the POLRI stay close to the hearts of the people," Maharani noted in a statement received here on Thursday.
The speaker highlighted the heightened duties of the police force amid the COVID-19 pandemic since apart from maintaining safety and order and providing public service, they were also mandated to be present as part of the solution in handling the pandemic.
Maharani believes that the POLRI should continue to be present among the people, win over their hearts, and revive the spirit of working together.
"POLRI's presence among the people brings Indonesia out of the COVID-19 pandemic," she affirmed.
The 75th anniversary of POLRI was themed “POLRI's Transformation in Supporting Acceleration of COVID-19 Handling for the Health of the People and National Economic Recovery for an Onward Indonesia."
