Abstract

This paper presents the role of the Polices in enforcing the law during the Covid Pandemic Period. Through normative juridical research methods and literature studies, it was found that the police played a critical role during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in law enforcement for violating health protocols and increasing crime. The role of the police in law enforcement is seen in the telegram of the National Police Chief as a strategic step to crack down on various crimes, both in the economic, cyber, and conventional fields.
