<![CDATA[The placement of Indonesian National Police (Polri) members in certain civilian positions raises legal issues due to differences between Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the National Police and Law Number 20 of 2023 concerning the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). This study aims to analyze the position of Polri members in civilian positions under these laws and examine the implications of Constitutional Court Decision Number 114/PUU-XXIII/2025. This research uses a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. Legal materials were collected through literature review and analyzed qualitatively using deductive methods. The results show that the Police Law restricts active Polri members from holding positions outside the police institution, while the ASN Law allows placement in certain ASN positions based on competence, professionalism, and the merit system. The Constitutional Court Decision affirms these limitations by declaring the phrase regarding assignments from the Chief of Police in the Elucidation of Article 28 paragraph (3) of the Police Law unconstitutional and legally invalid. This decision strengthens civilian supremacy, limits police officers’ mobility in civilian positions, reinforces the merit system, and highlights the need for regulatory harmonization to ensure legal certainty and bureaucratic professionalism.]]>
