Efforts to Enhance Community Policing in Dialogical Patrols by the Samapta Unit to Prevent Burglary in Order to Achieve Public Security at Kediri Police

Abstract

The crime of theft with aggravation (Curat) is a type of crime that ranks first of all categories of crimes that occur in Indonesia. Based on data from the Kediri Police investigation unit, the number of Curat crimes from 2020 to July 2023 has reached 313 cases. This Kamtibmas disturbance situation also occurred in the city of Kediri. Repressive law enforcement has an important role in the eradication of criminal acts, however, preemptive and preventive measures as prevention are far more important so that people do not become victims or even perpetrators of Curat crimes. However, the rampant Curat crime in the jurisdiction of the Kediri Regional Police proves that preventive measures carried out through Dialogical Patrols by prioritizing the Polmas have not brought optimal results.
