“This is the peak commemoration event of Bhayangkara 73rd anniversary. We will later hold various events after the ceremony,” said National Police spokesperson Brig. Gen. Dedi Prasetyo before the event began.
He explained a parade, such as personnel attractions, a joint marching band of Indonesian Military and Police, as well as skydiving, will entertain the guests.
“The last agenda will be awards delivery for members who contribute in maintaining Indonesia security,” Dedi added.
