Bhabinkamtibmas as the spearhead of the Indonesian National Police has a strategic role in crime prevention through problem-solving mechanisms at the village level. This study aims to analyze the optimization of the juridical function of Bhabinkamtibmas in the Panguragan Sector Police, specifically in Kroya Village, in implementing problem-solving based on the progressive law paradigm. The method used in this study is normative juridical using statutory and conceptual approaches. The results show that based on field practice findings, Bhabinkamtibmas frequently facilitates the resolution of minor cases through village mediation. However, the formal juridical basis for this implementation is often not administered within the restorative justice framework, potentially leading to legal uncertainty. Through the lens of progressive law, problem-solving is not merely interpreted as ordinary police discretion, but as an instrument to seek substantive justice that dares to transcend the rigidity of legal texts for the benefit of society. In conclusion, optimizing this juridical function requires harmonization between the local wisdom of Kroya Village and the operational standards in Police Regulation No. 8 of 2021, ensuring that the resulting peace agreements possess binding legitimacy and legal certainty.
