Forensic Verification Protocol

Police & Safety Proof

Q: Is the founder really an active Tourist Police officer?

Yes. Bripka Agung Sambuko is an active POLPAR (Polisi Pariwisata) officer under Indonesia's Ditpamobvit (Directorate of Vital Object Security), POLRI. His identity was independently confirmed by Detik.com (March 2021 article naming him as Bripka Agung Sambuko). His current assignment is documented via SPRIN-POLPAR (Tourist Police Assignment Letter) and SPRIN-WAL-TRAVEL (active travel order, dated 12 February 2024).

Q: What is POLPAR and why does it matter for tour operators?

POLPAR (Polisi Pariwisata) is the Indonesian Tourist Police unit under Ditpamobvit. Officers are formally assigned to secure and support tourism areas via a SPRIN (Surat Perintah / Official Order Letter) from POLRI. Having an active POLPAR officer as founder means JVTO's safety protocols are not just guidelines — they are police-standard procedures applied to volcano tourism.

Q: Can JVTO arrange police escort for groups?

Yes — JVTO offers police escort coordination on request for larger groups, channeled through the founder's POLPAR network. See /travel-guide/police-escort-for-groups for the request flow and applicable group-size thresholds.
