In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the Chief of Denpasar City Police (Kapolresta), Senior Commissioner Leonardo David Simatupang, hosted a “Ngopi Kamtibmas” (Community Security Coffee Morning) with the management and members of Gojek Bali Nusra on Monday (6/4/2026) at Jalan Kebo Iwa, Denpasar.
During the session, the Police Chief introduced himself to the Gojek representatives while emphasizing the vital role of communication and synergy between law enforcement and online transportation partners in maintaining public order and security (Kamtibmas).
The event was attended by key officials from the Denpasar Police Department, including the Head of West Denpasar Sector Police, Commissioner Ni Wayan Adnyani Prabawati. Also present were Gusti Ngurah Supriasta, the Bali Nusra Area Task Force Coordinator for Gojek, along with numerous drivers from across the region.
Addressing Recent Challenges
The Police Chief addressed several recent viral incidents involving ride-hailing partners from various platforms, including Gojek, Grab, and Maxim. He expressed hope that such issues could be minimized in the future through enhanced coordination and collective awareness.
Furthermore, he reminded drivers that Gojek attributes should only be worn by officially registered members. This measure is intended to improve order, instill a sense of responsibility, and foster professional pride among official partners.
Regarding logistics and delivery services, Commissioner Simatupang urged drivers to immediately coordinate with the police if they encounter suspicious packages, particularly those suspected of containing narcotics or hazardous materials.
”This proactive approach is essential for accelerating law enforcement actions and preventive measures,” the Police Chief stated. “Through this activity, we hope to forge closer ties and foster excellent cooperation between the Denpasar Police and Gojek Bali Nusra to safeguard public security.”
A Commitment to Cooperation
Gusti Ngurah Supriasta expressed his appreciation for the initiative, thanking the Police Chief for providing a platform where drivers could engage in direct, informal dialogue with high-ranking officials.
He noted that the Gojek community in Bali currently numbers approximately 80,000 members spread across various districts. He reaffirmed their commitment to remaining a strategic partner for the police.
”We are ready to cooperate and will remain communicative with the authorities should we encounter any security disturbances in the field,” Supriasta remarked.
He added that Gojek drivers have historically been active in reporting potential security threats to the police, serving as a real-world contribution to maintaining a safe and conducive environment throughout Bali.
