Police Authority in the Law Enforcement Process of Illegal Fishing in the Bali Regional Police
Keywords:
Authority, Illegal Fishing and the Republic of Indonesia PoliceAbstract
Eradicating illegal fishing can no longer be achieved solely through rational and legal approaches. Given that illegal fishing is carried out using highly sophisticated methods, its eradication must be carried out in the same manner. A disorganized truth will be defeated by a well-organized crime. Therefore, the Indonesian National Police (Polri) is a crucial law enforcement agency in preventing illegal fishing. The main duties of the police, as stipulated in Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the Indonesian National Police, include maintaining public order and security, enforcing the law, and providing protection, guidance, and service to the community.The research questions address the following: first, the regulation of police authority in the process of enforcing the law on illegal fishing, and second, the obstacles faced by the police in enforcing the law on illegal fishing within the Bali Regional Police.Based on the discussion, the regulation of police authority in the process of enforcing the law on illegal fishing is regulated by Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the Police and Law Number 31 of 2004 in conjunction with Law Number 45 of 2009 concerning Fisheries. Through the Directorate of Water and Air Police (Ditpolairud), the police are tasked with conducting investigations, prosecutions, arrests, and confiscation of evidence related to illegal fishing activities. This law enforcement is carried out through cross-sectoral collaboration with other agencies such as the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL), and Bakamla (Law and Security Agency). The process begins with the detection of violations through sea patrols or public reports, followed by joint operations, preparation of case files, and submission of cases to the courts. Obstacles to the Bali Regional Police's enforcement of illegal fishing laws include the vastness of Bali's maritime territory, limited personnel and technology, and overlapping authority between agencies. Therefore, effective coordination is key to optimal law enforcement.
