Implementation of Community Policing in Actualizing Precise Police Force in Mamuju City Police Station

Abstract

The development of modern society is intertwined with increasing crime rates, making security and public order crucial for regional progress. The National Police, as mandated by Law No. 2 of 2002, is responsible for maintaining public security, enforcing the law, and providing protection and services. To achieve precision in policing, the National Police Chief, General Drs. Listyo Sigit Prabowo, introduced the concept of transformative measures, including predictive policing to prevent security disturbances (Kamtibmas). Bhabinkamtibmas, a community policing sector, plays a vital role in detecting potential Kamtibmas disturbances within the jurisdiction of Mamuju Police. This study aims to analyze the implementation of community policing in realizing the transformation towards a Precision Police in the Mamuju Police. A qualitative approach with descriptive analytics is employed to provide a detailed description of the current situation. Primary and secondary data are collected through observation, interviews, and document studies. The accuracy and validity of the data are tested using the triangulation technique. The findings reveal that the organizational resources of Polresta Mamuju are insufficient in implementing community policing, particularly in terms of the competence of Bhabinkamtibmas. The actualization of the transformation towards a Precision Police, particularly in relation to predictive policing, has not been fully realized by the Bhabinkamtibmas of the Mamuju Police. The role of Bhabinkamtibmas in community policing, including information gathering, early detection, and problem-solving, is also suboptimal. Therefore, the researcher recommends several strategies for the Mamuju Police to enhance the implementation of predictive policing. These strategies include improving the competence of personnel, allocating adequate budget and resources, implementing e-policing, strengthening early detection, enhancing information gathering and data processing, establishing effective communication and information systems, and conducting community-level education.
