Efektifitas Intelijen Kepolisian Dalam Mengantisipasi Gangguan Keamanan Di Masyarakat

Abstract

The Indonesian National Police (Polri), as a law enforcement apparatus, is obliged to ensure public order, the enforcement of law, and the maintenance of peace and security in society. Security intelligence (Intelijen Keamanan/Intelkam), as an integral part of Polri’s organic functions that conducts intelligence activities and operations, is required to carry out early detection and is tasked with identifying all forms of threats, disturbances, or obstacles to public security and order (Kamtibmas). This research aims to determine the effectiveness of police intelligence in anticipating security disturbances in the community. With the problem formulation of how effective police intelligence is in anticipating security disturbances in society, the study employs a normative juridical research type, using secondary data (as the main data) and primary data (as supporting data). The data are presented qualitatively.Polri has the main duties of law enforcement, maintaining public security and order (kamtibmas), and providing protection, security, guidance, and services to the community. In carrying out these duties, interrelated and integrated police functions are required, one of which is Security Intelligence (Intelkam) as the “eyes and ears” of Polri, which is obliged to conduct early detection of developments in societal issues and social life in order to identify threats and disturbances/obstacles to kamtibmas. The factors contributing to disturbances in public security and order include an economy that has not yet stabilized, public indifference toward social conditions, a lack of professionalism in law enforcement, and the loss of exemplary conduct among authorities and policymakers.
