Raising Legal Awareness of Students, the Siak Regional Secretariat's Legal Section and the Siak Police Conduct Outreach at the Darul Hadith Islamic Boarding School

SIAK, [10/03/2026] – In an effort to protect the younger generation from legal violations and negative influences, the Legal Section of the Siak Regency Secretariat (Setda), in collaboration with a team from the Siak Police, held a Legal Outreach event at the Darul Hadith Sultan Yahya Islamic Boarding School (Ponpes), Siak District, Siak Regency.

The theme of this event was to increase legal awareness among students to create a safe and orderly educational environment. This program is part of a series of integrated legal outreach programs routinely conducted by the Siak Regency Government at various schools and educational institutions in the region.

In addition to providing an understanding of legal awareness, this outreach also integrated the Green Policing program. Siak Deputy Police Chief, Commissioner Akira Ceria, S.I.K., M.M., who led the police team, emphasized the importance of students not only obeying state laws but also showing concern for environmental sustainability and educating them about tree planting.

Several key points conveyed during the socialization included:
• Juvenile Delinquency Prevention: Education on protecting women and children from the dangers of drugs, bullying, and traffic discipline.
• Public Order and Security Awareness: Encouraging students to become pioneers in maintaining security and order within Islamic boarding schools and the wider community.
• Legal Compliance: Providing a basic understanding of the legal consequences of criminal acts so that students are more vigilant in their actions.
Synergy Between Government and Law Enforcement Officials
The Legal Department of the Siak Regional Secretariat, represented by Mrs. Yulianty Sembiring, SH, stated that this collaboration demonstrates the regional government's commitment to providing legal certainty from an early age. By targeting Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), it is hoped that the students will understand the importance of obedience and adherence to the law.

The Darul Hadith Sultan Yahya Islamic Boarding School welcomed this initiative. They believe that legal education is crucial for students to remain focused on their religious education without getting entangled in legal issues that could harm their future.
The activity concluded with an interactive discussion between the counseling team and the students, who enthusiastically asked various questions about legal issues in everyday life.
