Abstract

Public trust in law enforcement institutions depends heavily on perceptions of integrity, fairness, and accountability. Allegations of bribery, abuse of authority, and misconduct within police institutions can undermine confidence in the justice system. This article examines institutional mechanisms for preventing and addressing police corruption in Indonesia. Using normative juridical and institutional analysis, the study evaluates internal disciplinary systems, external oversight, complaint mechanisms, and anti-corruption institutions. The article argues that internal oversight alone may face structural limitations when investigations involve institutional colleagues or senior officials. The study proposes a multi-layered accountability framework combining independent complaint mechanisms, transparent disciplinary procedures, external oversight, whistleblower protection, asset disclosure, and systematic integrity monitoring. Particular attention is given to the accessibility of complaint mechanisms for ordinary citizens who may lack legal resources. The article concludes that police anti-corruption reform requires not only stronger sanctions but also institutional structures capable of generating credible and independent accountability. Strengthening public participation and external oversight would contribute to restoring public confidence in Indonesian law enforcement institutions.
