Sarmi, Papua — Warm smiles and friendly greetings filled Ansudu Village, East Coast District, Sarmi Regency, on Monday (4/8/2025). Two female personnel from the Operation Peace Cartenz 2025 Task Force came, not for an armed patrol, but to bring hope through healthcare services and humanitarian outreach.
They were First Police Inspector (IPDA) Dr. Chintya Widodo and Police Brigadier First Class (BRIPKA) Ita Sombo Allo. Their presence was warmly welcomed by the villagers, especially children who joyfully ran to greet these “Heroines” of the Indonesian National Police.
At the village hall, Dr. Chintya examined the health of elderly residents, provided medical advice, and ensured that every villager who came felt cared for. Meanwhile, BRIPKA Ita sat cross-legged among the children, distributing gifts, telling stories, and playing with them while delivering a simple moral message — that the police are friends to trust, not figures to fear.
This activity is part of the humanist mission of Operation Peace Cartenz 2025, which not only focuses on law enforcement against the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) but also on building closeness with the community.
Head of Peace Operation Cartenz 2025, Brigadier General of Police Dr. Faizal Ramadhani, S.Sos., S.I.K., M.H., accompanied by the Deputy Head of Operation, Chief Commissioner of Police Adarma Sinaga, S.Sos., S.I.K., M.Hum., expressed special appreciation. “They are not only law enforcement officers but also humanitarian movers in Papua. This is another face of Operation Peace Cartenz—a face that prioritizes empathy,” he said.
Head of Public Relation, Chief Commissioner of Police Yusuf Sutejo, S.I.K., M.T., emphasized the importance of female police officers in this mission. “Their presence builds a bridge of trust between the Indonesian National Police and the community, especially children and women. Such a humanist approach is key to creating a safe and peaceful Papua,” he stated.
Until late afternoon, IPDA Dr. Chintya and BRIPKA Ita continued to serve the villagers tirelessly. Their smiles are a reminder that devotion does not always mean being on the frontlines of conflict — sometimes, the most meaningful service comes through hands that help and hearts that listen.
