Normative legal analysis reveals weaknesses in Korwas POLRI supervision of coercive measures by PPNS, indicating a need for regulatory reform.
Fair and just law enforcement requires that every investigation process is subject to the principle of due process of law, including when coercive measures are taken by Civil Servant Investigators (PPNS). In this context, supervision by the Indonesian National Police through the Supervisory Coordinator (Korwas) mechanism is crucial to ensure that the implementation of investigations by PPNS does not deviate from criminal procedure law and does not violate human rights. This study aims to legally analyze the Korwas POLRI supervision mechanism for the implementation of coercive measures by PPNS and the extent to which such supervision ensures compliance with the principle of due process of law. The research method used is a normative legal approach by analyzing relevant laws and regulations such as Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning Criminal Procedure Law, Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the Indonesian National Police, and Regulation of the Chief of the Indonesian National Police Number 20 of 2010 concerning Coordination, Supervision, and Guidance for PPNS. The study results indicate that although the supervisory mechanism has been regulated normatively, there are still weaknesses in technical implementation in the field, especially related to reporting, coordination between agencies, and protection of suspects' rights in the early stages of the investigation. It is recommended that there be regulatory reform, increased supervisory capacity, and the use of digital technology to support accountability and transparency of the investigation process by PPNS. Thus, Korwas supervision can function optimally in ensuring a legitimate, fair investigation process that upholds human rights.
