Abstract

Police code of ethics law enforcement is a crucial aspect in creating a police institution that is professional, accountable, and trusted by the public. This article discusses the problems faced in the procedure for the code of ethics trial for Polri members, with a focus on the law enforcement mechanism for violations of the professional code of ethics in the police. Although there is a clear regulatory framework, including Police Regulation Number 7 of 2022, the implementation of the code of ethics trial is often marred by a lack of transparency and accountability. The trial, which is carried out behind closed doors, results in public distrust of the integrity of the law enforcement process. In addition, the sanctions imposed are often considered disproportionate to the severity of the violation, creating the impression that violators can avoid more severe consequences. This study also highlights other issues that arise, such as the overlap between the code of ethics trial process and criminal justice, as well as the neglect of victims' rights in the legal process. By analyzing these problems, this study provides an effort for the necessary reforms in the Polri Code of ethics and law enforcement mechanism to ensure justice and accountability and increase public trust in the police institution.

Abstract

Effective law enforcement requires clear regulations and high accountability. However, the use of discretion by law enforcement officers often poses a dilemma in maintaining a balance between flexibility and legal certainty. This study aims to analyze the legal regulations governing police discretion and code of ethics in Indonesia and to formulate a reform model to improve justice in law enforcement. This study uses a normative legal method with a legislative and conceptual approach, which examines written legal regulations and the underlying legal concepts. Data were collected from various relevant legal and scientific literature sources. The results of the study indicate that the use of undirected discretion can create injustice and reduce public trust in law enforcement officers. Reforms are needed to limit discretion by strengthening the police code of ethics and implementing clearer legal guidelines. The implications of this study include the development of policies that are more transparent, accountable, and in accordance with the principles of social justice. This reform is expected to increase the professionalism and legitimacy of the police in the eyes of the public.
