Abstract

This study examines the procedure for dishonorable discharge (PTDH) of members of the Indonesian National Police at Batu Bara Resort Police, focusing on the examination of AIPTU Khairun Nazni after a positive urine test and an admission of methamphetamine use. The research uses an empirical juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches based on the examination report, interviews with the examiner, police regulations, and legal literature. The findings show that PTDH does not arise automatically from a positive urine test, but requires a lawful sequence of preliminary examination, evidentiary assessment, case-file preparation, legal opinion, hearing before the Police Professional Code of Ethics Commission, appeal where available, and a decision by the authorized official. Repeated and conscious narcotics use, active efforts to obtain narcotics, the officer’s law-enforcement status, and the duty to provide an example aggravate the ethical assessment, while family and psychological problems remain contextual factors rather than grounds excluding responsibility. Preventive and corrective measures include counseling, assessment and rehabilitation, legal assistance, proportionate sanctions, post-decision supervision, accountable testing, and institutional evaluation
