Abstract

This study investigates how identity politics informs collective resistance to state authority, with a specific focus on the Polresta Deli Serdang in North Sumatra during a controversial drug raid. The objective is to understand how religious and ethnic symbols were mobilized to construct communal solidarity, trigger emotional escalation, and frame law enforcement as an external, even hostile, force. Using a qualitative case study method, the research explores how resistance emerged not as a spontaneous reaction but through deliberate symbolic narratives and the amplification power of social media. The findings show that such resistance was strategically nurtured, reflecting deeper tensions in a multicultural society. While the police employed humanistic communication strategies and sought collaboration with religious leaders, the outcomes were mixed, highlighting both the potential and the limits of symbolic engagement in crisis management. This study contributes to the broader discourse on public trust, symbolic politics, and cultural communication in security governance. It emphasizes the necessity of embedding legal enforcement practices within culturally sensitive and inclusive frameworks. The case of Deli Serdang reveals the complex intersections between identity, legitimacy, and authority in contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

The rise of cybercrime in Indonesia has become an urgent issue, not only in terms of technical law enforcement but also in how institutions, particularly the police, communicate with the public. This study aims to examine the strategic role of the Public Relations Division (Humas) at Polresta Deli Serdang in managing internal coordination and external communication in response to digital crime. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research involved in-depth interviews with eight key informants and thematic analysis of the collected data. The findings reveal that Humas is often excluded from the early stages of operations, weakening its ability to build narratives that uphold institutional legitimacy. Externally, the public perceives the police as slow and overly formal, failing to match the speed and emotional tone of social media discourse. The study recommends a shift from one-way, bureaucratic communication to a symmetrical approach rooted in local culture, involving digital community leaders and co-created narratives. These findings contribute to strengthening police communication strategies through empathetic, transparent, and collaborative engagement to rebuild public trust.
