In a unique initiative to support and engage tourists, the Bali Tourism Civil Service Police Force has introduced a team of adorable four-legged assistants. These furry companions will accompany officers on patrols at busy resort hospices and tourist attractions across the island.
The newly inaugurated Tourism Satpol PP Unit comprises 70 officers, and each patrol will be accompanied by a Kintamani dog. These young pups, aged between 5 and 6 months, have undergone extensive training to become friendly and sociable tourist companions.
Choosing assistance dogs as tourist companions serves a dual purpose – promoting dialogue with tourists while raising awareness about Bali’s endangered native breed. The five furry patrol members, named Cita, Cida, Ciga, Cipa, and Cika, have been well socialized, vaccinated, and are safe around children and vulnerable individuals.
Trainer Shae Holden from Synthesis Animalia Indonesia explained that these dogs have been conditioned to interact and provide support in bustling tourist areas, without the training typically associated with police dogs. Their main role is to educate tourists and ensure their safety during their visit to Bali.
The Bali Provincial Government plans to expand the Tourism Satpol PP Unit with more trained dogs in the future. These dedicated officers, accompanied by their canine partners, will patrol popular attractions and resorts, educating tourists about Balinese culture and providing assistance whenever needed.
Acting Governor Sang Made Mahendra Jaya emphasized the importance of this initiative in preventing potential threats or violations. He highlighted reckless driving, littering, and fighting as some of the behaviors that need attention. These patrol officers, dressed in casual brown shirts and shorts, will be visible on foot and in vehicles and are approachable for conversations with the public.
With their new team members by their side, the Bali Tourism Police are prepared to ensure a safe and memorable experience for all tourists visiting the island.
