<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the role of the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) in increasing Local Revenue (PAD) in Simalungun Regency through the supervision of local taxes and levies. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews with Satpol PP officers, officials from the Regional Finance and Revenue Management Agency (BPKPD), and business actors involved in local taxes and levies. The results show that Satpol PP plays an important role in supervising advertisement taxes, vehicle taxes, and traditional market levies using both preventive and repressive approaches.

This study recommends improving inter-agency coordination, enhancing human resource capacity, and utilizing information technology to strengthen the effectiveness of supervision and increase PAD.]]>
