At the same time, we congratulate the newly appointed officials and hope they can carry out their duties professionally and loyally to provide the best possible service to the community," said Kombes Erlan.
The leadership change at the Jambi City Police has drawn public attention. Residents hope that the new Kapolresta Jambi, Kombes Pol. Ananto Herlambang, will strengthen efforts to resolve various criminal cases that remain widely discussed.
Lia, a resident of Jambi Timur, expressed hope that the new police chief would pay greater attention to unresolved cases, particularly theft incidents that continue to occur frequently in Jambi City.
