The misuse of firearms among civilians is a critical issue in both national and international discourse, including in Indonesia. To date, efforts to curb firearm misuse among civilians—specifically those prone to criminal activity—have yet to yield significant results. Since 2023, there has been a rise in firearm misuse by foreign nationals within the jurisdiction of the Badung Resort Police. In accordance with prevailing laws and regulations, the penal and non-penal measures employed by the Badung Resort Police to address this issue primarily consist of repressive actions taken after the crimes of illegal firearm possession and use have already occurred. Challenges faced by the Badung Resort Police in implementing these measures include the complexity of investigating motives, the difficulty of tracing the origins of illicit weapons, and obstacles related to language and jurisdiction during witness examinations, alongside various internal and external constraints
