Abstract

Since 2009, the influx of Rohingya refugees in Aceh has raised concerns about potential security and order disturbances. The Indonesian National Police (Polri), as a government agency entrusted with maintaining security, public order, and enforcing the law, plays a crucial role in addressing this issue. In particular, police intelligence becomes paramount in detecting and preventing potential criminal activities associated with the Rohingya refugee situation in Aceh Province. This study aims to analyze the duties and functions of police intelligence in handling and preventing Rohingya refugees in Aceh, identify factors that impede their performance, and propose strategies for optimizing their duties and functions. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing interviews and participatory observation as data collection techniques. The findings indicate that the Directorate of Intelkam Polda Aceh plays a vital role in early conflict detection, administrative and supervisory services, and information dissemination to leaders and relevant agencies involved in managing Rohingya refugees in Aceh. They achieve this through early conflict detection, providing essential information for decision-making, and implementing strategies to engage the community, establish information networks, and promote community participation to minimize potential conflicts. However, challenges persist, including limited resources and coordination issues among relevant agencies. Consequently, this study recommends enhancing coordination among relevant agencies, developing the capacity of police intelligence, and expanding cooperation networks with international parties to bolster efforts in handling and preventing Rohingya refugees in Aceh.
