This article analyzes the role and strategy of the Civil Society Coalition (KMS) in monitoring police reform during the early transition of the Prabowo-Gibran administration. Using a descriptive-analytical qualitative method, this study applies Process Tracing to track the causality of advocacy and Policy Network Analysis (PNA) to map power relations. Data were collected from documentation of annual reports of human rights organizations (2019-2024), academic drafts of the Police Bill, and media coverage, validated using source triangulation. The findings show that amid the consolidation of elite power which restricted civic space, KMS experienced structural marginalization in the policy network. However, the coalition demonstrated resilience through hybrid advocacy combining strategic litigation, digital campaigns, and horizontal oversight by independent institutions. International lobbying also triggered diplomatic pressure that delayed the controversial bill. This study concludes that tactical flexibility is crucial to the sustainability of police accountability advocacy.
