Policy Implementation of Community Policing through Door-to-Door System: Strengthening Police-Community Partnership in Local Security Governance

Community policing has become an important approach in transforming security governance from a conventional enforcement-oriented model toward collaborative partnership between police institutions and communities. This study analyzes the implementation of community policing through the Door-to-Door System (DDS) program conducted by Bhabinkamtibmas officers in Mandala Urban Village, Merauke Regency, Indonesia. This qualitative case study used semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation involving 11 participants consisting of police officers, village officials, community leaders, and residents. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, while Edwards III's policy implementation framework was used as the analytical lens. The findings indicate that DDS implementation is conducted through direct visits, security communication, community dialogue, problem identification, and follow-up actions. Communication, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure support implementation, while limited personnel, operational resources, and uneven community engagement remain challenges. This study contributes to community policing literature by demonstrating how policy implementation capacity and frontline officer commitment shape local security governance outcomes.
