Abstract

The use of social media by the police is part of the transformation of policing functions in a digital era rule of law state. This study aims to analyse the use of cyberspace by the police in strengthening community participation in maintaining security and public order (harkamtibmas) from the perspective of cyber criminology and the protection of citizens' rights. This study uses a mixed method with an empirical juridical approach through interviews, legal documentation studies, and quantitative surveys conducted in four regional police areas. The results show that social media has functioned as an instrument of public service and digital community participation, but there is still a gap between the police response in cyberspace and the substantive response in the field. This condition has implications for public service accountability and has the potential to cause maladministration. In addition, digital interactions between the police and the community place the police as controllers of personal data, while the operational mechanisms for managing personal data have not been adequately regulated. This study concludes that digital policing must be positioned as a legal practice subject to the principles of legality, accountability, and protection of human rights, and requires the strengthening of an operational regulatory framework in order to optimise public order and security based on public participation.

Abstract

This article examines how mediated visibility reconfigures police oversight and accountability in Indonesia by treating reality police shows as an empirical arena. This study uses a qualitative–analytical design integrating semi-structured interviews with key institutional actors (Indonesian National Police/POLRI, media practitioners, and broadcast regulators), observational analysis of televised police representations and the digital recirculation, and document analysis of relevant governance and communication frameworks. The findings show that formal oversight mechanisms within Polri and state-based supervisory arrangements tend to operate reactively and with temporal delay when faced with fast-moving, visually driven public scrutiny. In this gap, media platforms, through televised programs and fragmented online circulation, function as a dominant informal overseer that shapes public judgments through visibility management, framing, and affective resonance. These dynamics generate an asymmetrical layered accountability regime, in which symbolic accountability formed in the media arena frequently precedes and constrains the operation of formal accountability processes. The article further identifies a condition of dual accountability that produces a structural dilemma for the Public Relations Division of POLRI (Divhumas), which must uphold law-based procedural legitimacy while simultaneously responding to media-generated demands for symbolic legitimacy. Limited post-production evaluation, weak coordination across the production cycle, and crisis-oriented communication approaches shift meaning-making power toward media actors and audiences, increasing institutional vulnerability to representational distortion. The article contributes to Police Science by conceptualizing accountability as a cross-arena governance process and by outlining policy implications for strategic visibility management, preventive representational oversight, and early-warning monitoring of legitimacy risk under conditions of mediated policing.
