PROTECTION AND JUSTICE CONCEPTS FOR MEMBERS OF INDONESIAN POLICE AS NARCOTICS ABUSERS IN LINE WITH STATE OF LAW

Abstract

Background: Drug or narcotic abuse is not only perpetrated by ordinary people but is often experienced by police officers. The law enforcement process applied to the public is generally different from the victims of abuse among police officers. People are more often rehabilitated, but police officers tend to resign disrespectfully. The law used is the same as the Law Number 35, 2009 on Narcotic. The non-treatment of the principle of equality before the law attracts a comprehensive study. Objective: The study aims to study and analyze justice for the victims of drug abuse police. Theoretical framework: To further consolidate the position and the implementation of Polri's duties as an integral part of the reform, the Police has been unified in Act No. 2 of 2002 on the Police of the Republic of Indonesia which sets out the functions, purposes, roles, arrangements, positions, membership, and formation of the profession. Particularly related to the training of the profession is regulated in Articles 31 to 36 which state that the official of the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia in carrying out their duties and authority must have the ability of the professional through the training profession. The foreign regulation relating to the Disrespectful Cessation of Drug Abuse is inconsistent with the Narcotics Act because it does not treat the general public equally with the police. It is advised to the police chief that the police officers who have committed drug abuse be rehabilitated so that they can return to being good human beings and free from drug use. Method: This research uses a method of normative jurisprudence with the primary legal sources of the Narcotic Drugs Act and Police Regulation Number 7 of 2022. Secondary legal materials are obtained through books, journals, and research results.
