The establishment of a police precinct will also enhance the police forces' duty to maintain regional security essential to maintaining West Nusa Tenggara's good image as the host for domestic and international events, she affirmed.
"During the evaluation meeting for the World Superbike organization last November, we had detected some criminal groups that intended to disrupt the international event with their criminal acts. Hence, all aspects necessary to ensure smoothness in the implementation of the agenda, including the security aspect, must be readied properly," Yuliati remarked.
