This study aims to identify the preemptive measures taken by the Community Development Unit (Satbinmas) of the Sukoharjo Police Department to combat thuggery, as well as to identify the obstacles encountered and efforts to overcome them. This study employs an empirical legal research method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews and observations of Satbinmas members at the Sukoharjo Police Department, as well as a literature review of relevant laws and regulations, books, journals, and previous studies. The data collected were analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods. The results of the study indicate that the preemptive efforts of the Sukoharjo Police Department’s Satbinmas are carried out through Community-Led Security Development (Binkamsa), Youth, Teenagers, and Women’s Development (Binredawan), “Friday Confessions” sessions, legal education and outreach, community visits by Bhabinkamtibmas officers, strengthening the Police-Community Partnership Forum (FKPM), collaboration with relevant agencies and community leaders, and increasing community participation in maintaining security and order. Challenges faced include economic factors affecting the community, fear of reporting crimes, low legal awareness, limited personnel, limited facilities and infrastructure, the vastness and diverse characteristics of the jurisdiction, and coordination challenges. Efforts to overcome these obstacles have been made through increased door-to-door outreach, the use of information technology and the 110 complaint hotline, the strengthening of the FKPM, and collaboration with local governments on community economic empowerment. Thus, the preemptive efforts of the Sukoharjo Police’s Community Relations Unit (Satbinmas) have been implemented through a guidance-based approach and partnerships with the community; however, further strengthening of resources, coordination, and community participation is still needed to ensure that the prevention of thuggery can be carried out optimally.
