<![CDATA[The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the security landscape: street crime is shrinking, while cybercrime, online fraud, and domestic violence are strengthening as economic pressures intensify. This situation requires law enforcement officials to reorganize their work without sacrificing citizens' rights. This study examines the role of law enforcement in maintaining post-pandemic security and order, assesses the suitability of their actions with Islamic law, and maps challenges as well as models of strengthening. The study uses normative juridical methods with legislative, comparative, conceptual, and policy approaches. Secondary data from the literature study were analyzed descriptive-qualitatively through content analysis. The results show that the apparatus carries out preventive, repressive, and restorative functions that are tied to the due process of law. However, practices in the field are not fully aligned with the principles of al-'adl, maṣlaḥah, and maqāṣid al-syarī'ah because authority is still often used excessively. Structural barriers include rigid regulations, limited personnel and budgets, and weak coordination. Cultural barriers are seen in declining citizen compliance and resistance, while substantive barriers arise from digital crime and inequality in law enforcement. The study concludes that the combination of positive law, criminology, and Islamic law results in a strengthening model that relies on adaptive regulation, capacity building of the apparatus, and humanist and restorative approaches.]]>
