This study examines police efforts to address aggravated theft under Article 477(2) of the Indonesian Criminal Code in the jurisdiction of Lubuklinggau Utara I Police Sector. Using normative empirical legal research, it combines statutory analysis, police interviews, observation, and documentary research. Findings identify preventive measures, including routine patrols, public legal education, community policing, and neighborhood security initiatives, alongside repressive measures involving reports, crime scene examination, witness interviews, investigations, and case referrals. Implementation faces limited witnesses, inadequate surveillance and investigative equipment, low community participation, and difficulties locating repeat offenders. The study recommends stronger investigator training, improved facilities, closer community partnerships, coordinated case management, and consistent lawful enforcement. These measures seek to advance legal certainty, justice, public safety, and effective protection against theft within the local jurisdiction.
