<![CDATA[Abuse of power within the police force persists because oversight is weak and leaders offer too few ethical examples. This study examines how Islamic leadership ethics are internalized to prevent the misuse of authority at the South Lampung Police Resort. A descriptive qualitative approach with a single case study design was applied. Six informants were chosen through purposive sampling. Data were gathered using semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation, then analyzed thematically, while trustworthiness was maintained through triangulation and member checking. The findings reveal that the values of amanah, shidiq, and tabligh take root through three pathways: leaders' awareness of office as a trust, everyday role modeling, and scheduled spiritual and mental guidance. Fair rule enforcement and safe reporting channels act as enablers, whereas deference to seniors, superficial compliance, heavy workloads, and economic pressure act as barriers. The observed effects include greater courage to report misconduct, a stronger ability to resist temptation, and fewer violations. In conclusion, Islamic leadership values work effectively only when combined with consistent sanctions and adequate supervision, supported by the example of immediate superiors and attention to personnel welfare.]]>
