This milestone highlights that the police are not solely focused on law enforcement, but also actively respond to the social needs of society.
The ceremony took place on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at the auditorium of the Aceh Tengah Police Headquarters (Polres Aceh Tengah), under the theme "Polri for the Community." The event was conducted in a dignified atmosphere filled with solidarity, gratitude, and commitment, attended by regional leaders, community representatives, and various institutional stakeholders.
