Community Policing Law Enforcement in Handling Narcotics Crimes by Children

—This study aims to examine law enforcement carried out by community policing in tackling narcotics crimes by children. As the era progressed, more and more crimes occurred, starting from minor crimes to serious crimes. One form of crime or crime is the abuse of narcotics by children. Narcotics crimes by children can be seen from the point of view of children as perpetrators and victims. Basically, against narcotics crimes, children tend to be victims, because children cannot be punished before reaching a predetermined age, so children tend to be processed in the form of diversion. Diversion is carried out because children are the responsibility of parents, so that against criminal acts of children, law enforcement is to seek the best interests of children. In responding to this, community policing or Community Policing (Polmas) is at the forefront in tackling drug abuse. One of the patterns that can be done by the State security is to build partnerships between the Police (Bhabinkamtabmas) with the community and village government. In conducting a partnership pattern, a Bhabinkamtibmas is required to have good communication skills and also the ability to be able to embrace all elements in the community so that the partnership pattern can run well. Bhabinkamtibmas plays a very important role in the implementation and success of the crime prevention system in the field of narcotics carried out by children. The strategy in implementing community policing from a Police and Community Communication Forum (FKPM) aims to create security and order in the community that is run by the community together with members of the police. At the kelurahan level, FKPM has the task of creating security and order in the local kelurahan or village environment.
