Abstract

The abuse and illicit trafficking of narcotics constitute an extraordinary crime with far-reaching impacts on public health, social stability, the economy, and national security. This study aims to analyze the role of the police, particularly the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Pinrang District Police, in addressing narcotics and psychotropic drug-related offenses. The research adopts a normative-empirical approach, utilizing data collected through literature reviews and in-depth interviews with police personnel directly involved in handling narcotics cases. The findings reveal that the police play a multifaceted role, including repressive functions through investigation and law enforcement, as well as preventive and rehabilitative roles through public education, community engagement, and cross-sector collaboration. The strategies employed encompass both penal and non-penal approaches, leveraging information technology through digital reporting systems, online education, and data-driven mapping of high-risk narcotics areas. However, the effectiveness of these efforts faces several challenges, such as limited personnel, unequal access to technological infrastructure, and insufficient community participation. The study concludes that the success of law enforcement in combating narcotics crimes is highly dependent on the synergy between legal regulations, the professionalism of law enforcement officers, adequate facilities and infrastructure, and the strengthening of public legal awareness. These findings are expected to contribute both academically and practically to enhancing the effectiveness of narcotics law enforcement at the local level.
