Kompol M. Fadli Amri, a member of the Indonesian National Police\ncurrently serving at the SSDM Mabes Polri, has officially earned a\nDoctor of Law degree from Sultan Agung Islamic University (UNISSULA) in\nSemarang. The alumnus of the Police Science Master\u2019s programme at\nSTIK-PTIK completed his education in approximately three years.<\/p>\n
In his academic process, Fadli was guided by Promotor Jawade Hafidz\nand Co-Promotor Anis Mashdurohatun. Under their supervision, Fadli\ncompleted doctoral research focused on developing the concept of\nsociopreneurship policing, a policing approach that integrates police\nscience, social entrepreneurship, community collaboration, and crime\nprevention based on community empowerment through social enterprise\nactivities.<\/p>\n
Sociopreneurship policing integrates police science, social\nentrepreneurship, community collaboration, and crime prevention,\npositioning the National Police as an initiator, facilitator, and\ncatalyst for socio-economic community empowerment. Through this\napproach, police officers with social entrepreneurial capacity can\ninitiate or encourage business activities that generate social impact,\ncreate jobs, strengthen community resilience, and reduce socio-economic\nfactors that may drive criminal acts.<\/p>\n
As a graduate of STIK-PTIK, Fadli has a particular interest in\ndeveloping police science, especially in examining the relationship\nbetween the police, the community, security, social order, and crime\nprevention. According to him, policing should not only be understood\nwithin the framework of law enforcement, but also as an institution\npresent in the community to build trust, strengthen social resilience,\nand help prevent crime from its root causes.<\/p>\n
The sociopreneurship policing concept Fadli proposes is a policing\napproach that uses social entrepreneurship as an instrument to create\nsocial value, strengthen collaboration between the National Police and\nthe community, and prevent crime influenced by socio-economic factors.\nThis approach places the police, the community, and stakeholders in an\nequal, mutually reinforcing relationship oriented towards creating\nsocial order.<\/p>\n
Within this concept, the role of the police is two-directional.\nFirst, police officers with skills, interests, and concern in social\nentrepreneurship can initiate or run social enterprise activities that\nbenefit the community. Second, police officers can also act as\nmotivators, connectors, and facilitators to encourage the community,\nMSMEs, local communities, the private sector, academics, and related\nstakeholders to build productive businesses that create jobs and\nstrengthen the community\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n
Thus, sociopreneurship policing does not oblige every police officer\nto become an entrepreneur, but opens space for those with the ability\nand passion in social entrepreneurship to contribute more broadly. This\nrole must still be carried out within the corridors of rules,\nprofessional ethics, integrity, transparency, and free from conflicts of\ninterest. In this way, social entrepreneurship is understood not merely\nas a personal economic interest, but as a space for service that\ngenerates social benefits.<\/p>\n
This idea stems from the view that some criminal acts cannot be\nseparated from economic issues, such as poverty, unemployment, weak\naccess to jobs, and limited empowerment opportunities. Therefore, crime\nprevention is not sufficiently achieved through law enforcement,\nsurveillance, or prosecution alone, but must also address the social\nfactors that can push someone into a cycle of criminality.<\/p>\n
The spirit of sociopreneurship policing can also be seen in various\nsocial service practices already carried out by police officers in\nseveral regions. For example, a police officer in Cirebon developed\nwaste processing to help the local economy. In East Java, an officer\nopened a humanitarian service space to care for and rehabilitate people\nwith mental disorders. There are also examples of officers establishing\nfree schools or Islamic boarding schools for children from\nunderprivileged families. These practices show that the presence of\npolice officers in the community can go beyond formal functions, helping\nto deliver real social solutions.<\/p>\n
Fadli stated, \u2018The National Police should not only be present when a\ncrime has already occurred. The police also need to continuously develop\napproaches that are more preventive, humanistic, and empowering.\nSociopreneurship policing is an effort to re-examine the role of the\npolice in a broader social context, namely how the police\u2019s presence can\nhelp create social value, open spaces for empowerment, and strengthen\ncommunity resilience.\u2019<\/p>\n
Conceptually, sociopreneurship policing is built upon the foundations\nof police science, community policing, social entrepreneurship,\nentrepreneurial policing, and social crime prevention. With these\nfoundations, the concept is not intended to replace the police\u2019s primary\nfunction in law enforcement, but rather to complement it through a crime\nprevention approach that is more participatory, collaborative, and\ndirectly impactful for the community.<\/p>\n
Fadli hopes this idea can become a contribution to strengthening\npolice science and policing practices in Indonesia. Through a\nresearch-based approach, sociopreneurship policing is expected to enrich\nperspectives on the police\u2019s role in building closer relationships with\nthe community, while simultaneously encouraging the creation of\nsustainable socio-economic empowerment spaces.<\/p>\n
Fadli\u2019s graduation as a Doctor of Law also sends a positive message\nthat National Police members continue to strive to enhance their\nintellectual capacity, professionalism, and social sensitivity.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/doctor-of-law-proposes-sociopreneurship-policing-to-strengthen-community-based-security-1781621554", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
