LABUHANBATU SELATAN | INDATANEWS.COM - The Narcotics Investigation Unit of the Labuhanbatu Selatan Police (Satresnarkoba Polres Labuhanbatu Selatan) has once again demonstrated the humanitarian side of the Indonesian National Police (Polri) through a social initiative under the "Jumat Berkah" program. Amid its intensive efforts to combat drug abuse and illicit narcotics trafficking, the unit continues to show concern and care for the community.
On Friday, August 7, 2026, police officers distributed dozens of lunchboxes to parking attendants and passing residents along the National Highway of Jalan Lintas Sumatera (Jalinsum) in Kotapinang, Kotapinang District, Labuhanbatu Selatan Regency.
The social activity was directly led by the Head of Satresnarkoba
Polres Labuhanbatu Selatan,
AKP Sahat Marulam Lumban Gaol, S.H. He was accompanied by the Head of the Operational Unit (KBO Satresnarkoba), IPTU Imam Munandar Siregar, S.H., M.H., along with several personnel from Satresnarkoba
Polres Labuhanbatu Selatan.
The initiative highlights that the duties of the police are not solely focused on law enforcement against drug-related offenders but also include a humanitarian approach. Through this simple yet meaningful activity, Polri seeks to provide direct benefits to the community while strengthening the relationship between police officers and citizens.
Jumat Berkah Strengthens Social Values
The spirit of "Jumat Berkah," which reflects Islamic values of charity and compassion toward others, serves as the foundation of this activity. In Islam, giving charity (sedekah) is considered a recommended good deed because it provides assistance and benefits to those in need.
This value was reflected in the decision of Satresnarkoba
Polres Labuhanbatu Selatan to provide support for people from various social backgrounds. The presence of the police is not only seen in efforts to eradicate drug crimes but also through social care initiatives that touch the daily lives of citizens.

Police and Community Build Stronger Bonds
Labuhanbatu Selatan Police Chief AKBP Rosef Efendi, S.I.K., M.H., CPHR., through Satresnarkoba Head AKP Sahat Marulam Lumban Gaol, stated that the "Jumat Berkah" activity represents Polri's attention toward the community while also helping establish a harmonious relationship between the police and society.
"Polri is not only present in enforcing the law but also wants to be among the people through simple social activities with meaningful impacts. We hope this assistance can provide benefits and encourage our fellow citizens who are working or traveling to continue their activities with renewed motivation," said AKP Sahat.
According to AKP Sahat, social responsibility plays an important role in building public trust in the police institution. Through activities that directly involve the community, communication between police officers and citizens is expected to become more open, creating stronger cooperation in maintaining security and public order (Kamtibmas).
He also emphasized that community support plays an important role in combating drug-related crimes. A closer relationship between police and citizens is expected to encourage people to report information regarding possible cases of drug abuse or illegal narcotics distribution in their surroundings without hesitation.

Small Gesture With a Significant Meaning
A warm atmosphere was evident when Satresnarkoba personnel distributed lunchboxes to members of the community. Parking attendants, motorists, and residents who received the assistance welcomed the initiative with smiles and expressions of gratitude.
For the recipients, the meals were not merely food packages but also symbols of attention and care from the police. This small gesture provided encouragement for people as they continued their daily activities.
The "Jumat Berkah" moment also serves as a reminder that creating security is not only achieved through legal measures but also through strengthening humanitarian values, community cooperation, and mutual support.
When the public views Polri as both a partner and a caring friend, trust in the police institution will continue to grow. This trust serves as an important foundation for creating a safe and stable environment.
In Labuhanbatu Selatan Regency, various social activities carried out by the local police are part of efforts to build emotional closeness with the community. This humane approach is considered an important factor in increasing public participation in maintaining regional security.
Through the "Jumat Berkah" activity, Satresnarkoba
Polres Labuhanbatu Selatan once again emphasizes that combating drug crimes must be accompanied by social responsibility. Firm law enforcement and care for the community represent the concept of
Polri Presisi, which promotes a professional, modern, trustworthy, and community-oriented police institution.
The spirit of sharing demonstrated by Satresnarkoba Polres Labuhanbatu Selatan is expected to inspire various community groups to continue spreading kindness. Small actions carried out sincerely can bring blessings, strengthen social relationships, and provide hope for people facing difficult circumstances. (IDNC)
