Enforcing the Professional and Police Codes of Ethics to Address Violations Committed by Police Officers
Abstract
The National Police of the Republic of Indonesia (POLRI) is one of the most important law enforcement professions in Indonesia, and it is essential that its members maintain the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct. To this end, POLRI has a code of professional ethics in place that guides the behavior of its members. However, the implementation of this code of ethics has been the subject of much scrutiny, and there have been instances where POLRI members have engaged in illegal activities. This paper seeks to investigate the implementation of the code of professional ethics for POLRI through an analysis of National Police Regulation Number 7 of 2022. The study is both descriptive and analytical, utilizing normative legislation and empirical strategies to examine the code of ethics and punishment for POLRI members who engage in illegal activities. The findings of this study reveal that the implementation of National Police Regulation 7 of 2022 is a new and important step towards promoting integrity and accountability among POLRI members. By replacing two previous regulations and introducing the Indonesian National Police Code of Professional Ethics (KEPP) and the Indonesian National Police Code of Conduct Commission (KKEP), the new regulation aims to ensure that all POLRI members are held to the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct.
