The results of the research found that the role of the Police in tackling crimes by inmates who received assimilation and parole due to the Covid-19 virus outbreak has an important role. Which was carried out by the Police in minimizing crimes committed by inmates who received assimilation due to the impact of Covid-19, namely preventive efforts to conduct patrols by forming a new eagle team, as well as repressive efforts to provide strict punishment to inmates who committed crimes again after assimilation. The obstacles faced by the Police in overcoming crimes by inmates who receive assimilation and parole due to the Covid-19 virus outbreak include, among others, that not all criminals are domiciled in the city of Semarang, the number of personnel is not proportional to the number of prisoners who receive assimilation and parole due to the virus outbreak.

The policy of releasing prisoners in an effort to reduce the rate of spread of the corona virus is the authority of the Indonesian Government through the Ministry of Law and Human Rights which is based on the government's concern about the spread of the corona virus in prisons. In relation to the implementation of these tasks, it is necessary to have the role of the elements that carry out the main tasks.[2] Criminal acts committed by assimilated prisoners have occurred in Semarang City. The Head of the Semarang Police Narcotics Detective, Commissioner R Sihombing, said that the suspect M Purnomo (38) was a narcotics case recidivist who previously served a sentence at the Sragen prison.[3] In addition, it was found that the ex-convicts were arrested for acting up by repeating criminal acts. Some have been caught again committing crimes or criminal acts in several Polres, namely Semarang, Jepara, Sukoharjo, Kebumen, Sragen, Banyumas, Surakarta with a total of 10 suspects.[4] This case proves that prisoners can act again which indicates that the behavior assessment before they are released and allowed to integrate into society is less effective. The government at that time could not guarantee that if the prisoner would not repeat his crime, what the government could guarantee was the supervision and action of officers who were always on guard to overcome if the prisoners
