Duty vs Humanity: Police Officer’s Point of Views in Implementing Policies as Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Taskforce

SUMMARY

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic stimulates negative impacts on all people in Indonesia. The impacts are not only related to health but also to economic factors of the Indonesian people. This condition requires the Indonesian government to implement a policy in limiting community activities to reduce transmission rate increasement of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Indonesia. The implementation of policies related to prevention of transmission rate increasement of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) by the Indonesian government has led to various polemics, especially regarding the implementation carried out by the public officers of the task force in implementing the policy, one of which is the Indonesian National Police unit (POLRI). The polemic that is discussed by the society is regarding the form of enforcement actions by the police which are considered as aggressive acts since the acts are considered as ignoring/degrading humanity. This study aims to provide an overview of the actions of the police regarding the implementation of their duties as task force for the prevention of COVID-19. Method that is used in this research is discourse analysis by describing the humanist side and obligations in carrying out duties for the police. It can be concluded that society needs to be educated further regarding the main goals of taskforces that are formed by the government in reducing transmission of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Furthermore, the society shall understand the dilemma experienced by the police officers in carrying out their duties as task force in decreasing transmission of coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
