<![CDATA[Indonesian informal migrant workers have a strategic contribution to the global economy, particularly in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. However, this group is also vulnerable to criminalization, human rights violations, and human trafficking crimes. The Indonesian National Police (POLRI), as a law enforcement institution, plays an important role in the migrant worker protection system, ranging from early detection and law enforcement to cross-border assistance. This study uses a normative juridical method with legislative and conceptual approaches to examine the role of POLRI in the context of migrant worker protection, as well as to explore the need for strengthening collaborative governance between POLRI, BP2MI, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Indonesian representatives abroad. The results of the study indicate that the success of migrant worker protection highly depends on data integration, institutional synergy, and the utilization of intelligent technology based on artificial intelligence (AI). This research recommends strengthening regulations, establishing cross-sector task forces, and developing a digital roadmap as innovative strategies to create a responsive and adaptive protection system.]]>
