National police`s head of public information Senior Commissioner Boy Rafli Amar said the anti-anarchism detachment would be set up in all regional police headquarters.
"There will be a special unit in every regional police command that will be ready to deal with anarchism," he said.
He said the detachment would implement Standard Procedure Number 1/X/2010 on anarchism control and trainings would be carried out for it.
"The detachment is for meeting the challenges that keep developing. Therefore its existence is a must. Such a detachment has actually been in existent before but this one will be more specialized," he said.
Boy said the detachment would consist of elements from the Mobile Brigade and Anti-riot Police and Mass Control Unit.
"In dealing with the mass so far efforts were made in case of anarchism in which shots might be made but this time it is about capacity building for personnel on the field," he said.
The essence is that it is established in the framework of improving the quality of security service in dealing with problems that may lead to anarchism by groups of people or destruction by individuals, Boy said.
Three people were killed after a clash between a group of people and Ahmadiyah followers in Cikeusik, Pandeglang, Banten, early last month.
Two churches meanwhile had also been burned and another one vandalized in a rioting early that month in Temanggung, Central Java, that erupted following dissatisfaction over a court sentence on a defendant in a blasphemy case which was considered too lenient. (*)
