The results of the study refer to the implementation of the Police Goes to School program in educating students to a minimum. Analysis of the implementation of the program according to the theory of Communication and 6M elements shows that the implementation of the Police Goes to School program is not running optimally in its implementation because there are still many traffic violations committed by students. The implementation of the Police Goes to School program between planned activities and implementation has not been well implemented.
