The Role of Police in Terrorism Prevention: Indonesia’s Police Against ISIS Threat Case Study

Abstract

The police have a central role in prevention, law enforcement, and deradicalization of terrorism in Indonesia. In view of counterterrorism itself, the ultimate mission and the most ideal condition to achieve is to prevent acts of terrorism that could have occurred. With regard to these preventive duties, the police have the ability to understand conditions in the community more effectively. This stems from the basic nature of the police which is the guardian and servant of the community, therefore the understanding of the source of problems in the community can be more effective. This becomes a natural advantage of the police compared with the military, which makes the police very dominant in terms of prevention of terrorism. Based on understanding of the role of the police in terms of prevention, it is necessary to have an understanding of social complexity which is the root of terrorism problems. Human security is a form of contemporary security arose from the demands to the state to protect the community further. In contrast to the war situation, after the cold war, this approach grew among others, by globalizing demilitarization and strengthening the police as a civil defense institution. Reflecting to Indonesia, it is understood that the police has the affairs of overcoming threats on humans, in contrast to the military affair in combating threats to the territory. Police have the ability to be close to the root of the problems of today's society, including horizontal and vertical conflict.
