Johor police deploy 13 district control centres statewide to assist in haze monitoring

Johor police have activated 13 district control centres to monitor and coordinate the haze situation with the state government and related agencies.

Regular police duties will continue, but face masks are mandatory to ensure personnel health, with those affected by the haze excused from field duties.

Johor's air quality has worsened with seven areas recording unhealthy Air Pollutant Index scores, including Pasir Gudang at 174 and Kota Tinggi at 170.

JOHOR BAHRU, Oct 13 — The Johor police contingent are assisting the state government in monitoring the haze through the activation of its 13 district control centres (DCC) across the state.

Johor police chief Datuk Ab Rahaman Arsad said the activation of all DCCs aims to monitor and coordinate the haze situation in collaboration with the state government and its related agencies.

He said the activation, which covers all 13 police districts in Johor, will enable continuous monitoring.

“We activated all the police DCCs yesterday to monitor the situation in their respective areas, allowing us to work with the state government to address the haze affecting Johor.

“The activation by the Johor police is consistent with similar measures taken by the Johor Disaster Management Committee (JPBN) to ensure the current haze issue is effectively managed,” he told reporters after the monthly assembly held at the Johor police contingent headquarters here today.

Ab Rahaman said that despite the haze, core police duties concerning the areas of public order and safety, traffic control, mobile patrol vehicle (MPV) operations and motorcycle patrol units will continue as normal.

However, he said police will prioritise the health and welfare of police personnel on the ground, where the use of face masks will be made mandatory.

“The Johor police contingent, including all its districts, will still carry out the regular policing duties according to schedule as such tasks are vital for maintaining the peace and order of the state.

“We will supply the face masks to every police personnel in all districts to ensure their welfare.

“At the same time, any police personnel experiencing health issues will be exempted from field duties.

“These are among the additional measures we are taking to manage the current haze situation in Johor,” he said.

Ab Rahaman also acknowledged the challenges and risks to police personnel in the field should the Air Pollutant Index (API) readings worsen.

He said that the state police can hopefully mitigate the issue with rotational duty to minimise the risks.

“So far, there have been no records of police personnel suffering from serious or chronic health issues due to the haze,” he said, adding that he has also instructed all district police chiefs to constantly monitor the health of their officers.

It was reported yesterday that the air quality worsened nationwide, with Johor having seven stations in the unhealthy API range in the afternoon.

An API reading of 101 to 200 is categorised as unhealthy.

Pasir Gudang recorded the highest reading at 174, followed by Kota Tinggi at 170 and Pengerang at 166. The others were Larkin at 160, Batu Pahat at 156, Tangkak at 152 and Kluang at 151.

柔佛警方已启动 13 个地区控制中心，与州政府及相关机构一起监测和协调雾霾情况。

警务工作将继续进行，但为确保警员健康，必须佩戴口罩，受雾霾影响的警员可免于执行外勤任务。

柔佛州的空气质量恶化，七个地区的空气污染指数达到不健康水平，其中巴西古当的空气污染指数为 174，哥打丁宜的空气污染指数为 170。

新山，10 月 13 日讯——柔佛州警方已启动全州 13 个地区控制中心 (DCC)，协助州政府监测雾霾情况。

柔佛州警察总长拿督阿卜杜勒·拉赫曼·阿尔萨德表示，启动所有雾霾控制中心旨在与州政府及其相关机构合作，监测和协调雾霾情况。

他表示，此次启动的系统覆盖柔佛州全部 13 个警区，将实现持续监控。

“我们昨天启动了所有警察区域协调中心，以监控各自区域的情况，从而使我们能够与州政府合作，解决影响柔佛州的雾霾问题。

“柔佛警方的行动与柔佛灾害管理委员会（JPBN）采取的类似措施一致，以确保有效控制当前的雾霾问题，”他在今天于柔佛警察总部举行的月度会议后告诉记者。

阿卜杜勒·拉赫曼表示，尽管有雾霾，但有关公共秩序和安全、交通管制、移动巡逻车 (MPV) 行动和摩托车巡逻队的核心警务工作将照常进行。

但他表示，警方将优先考虑一线警务人员的健康和福祉，并强制要求一线警务人员佩戴口罩。

“柔佛州警察部队，包括其所有辖区，仍将按计划履行常规警务职责，因为这些任务对于维护该州的和平与秩序至关重要。

“我们将向所有地区的每位警务人员提供口罩，以确保他们的福利。”

“与此同时，任何出现健康问题的警务人员都将免于执行外勤任务。

他说：“这些是我们为应对柔佛州目前的雾霾情况而采取的额外措施之一。”

阿卜杜勒·拉赫曼也承认，如果空气污染指数 (API) 读数恶化，一线警务人员将面临挑战和风险。

他表示，州警有望通过轮班执勤来缓解这一问题，从而最大限度地降低风险。

“到目前为止，还没有记录显示有警务人员因雾霾而患上严重或慢性健康问题，”他说道，并补充说，他还指示所有地区警察局长持续监测警员的健康状况。

昨天有报道称，全国空气质量恶化，柔佛州下午有7个监测站的空气污染指数（API）达到不健康水平。

API 读数在 101 到 200 之间属于不健康状态。

巴西古当的读数最高，为174，其次是哥打丁宜（170）和边佳兰（166）。其他是拉庆（160）、峇株巴辖（156）、东甲（152）和居銮（151）。
