VIVA – The Indonesian National Police (Polri) conducts pre-Operation Exercises Puri Agung 2022 to secure the implementation of the G20 Summit presidency in Bali. The exercise on the second day is about conducting simulations in several places that have potential vulnerabilities.
According to the Deputy Chief of the Indonesian Police (Wakapolri) at the Command Center, Regional Police (Polda), Bali on November 4, 2022, the police have seen simulations in the field through the command center.
“Through the command center, our party can find out where the position of the members and the facilities and infrastructure that have been placed. In addition, the command center is also equipped with face recognition technology. So, if later, there is a Police Wanted List (DPO) and suspected people can immediately take action.” The Deputy Chief of Police said on November 4, 2022.

Regarding traffic engineering, he said that his party would continue to socialize the community so as not to cause traffic jams if later a VVIP group passed.
"We will socialize a circular so the public can understand that when the group passes, there are alternative roads that are prepared so as not to cause traffic jams," Gatot remarked.
