This study analyzes alleged negligence by Indonesian National Police officers in supervising temporary detainees of the Narcotics Investigation Unit, based on Examination Report Number BP/03/V/2025/SIPROPAM at Batu Bara Police. The research examines forms of negligence, the application of legal rules and supervision procedures, and the forms of legal accountability that may arise. Using empirical legal research supported by statutory and doctrinal materials, the study assesses duty rosters, guard obligations, mutation books, handover practices, cell security, reporting, and supervisory control. The findings show that negligence must be established individually through a clear duty, a departure from the required standard of care, foreseeability and preventability of risk, and a causal connection with the relevant consequence. Accountability may take disciplinary, professional-ethical, administrative, and in certain circumstances criminal forms, but criminal responsibility requires a specific offense, culpa, legally relevant consequence, and causation.
