The Urgency of Establishing Guidelines for Handling Cybercrime Cases in the Indonesian National Police Department

Abstract

The Urgency of Establishing Guidelines for Handling Cybercrime Cases in the Indonesian National Police DepartmentTechnological development has a strong influence on the development of criminals. In the past, crimes were carried out in conventional ways and tools, but now crimes are carried out in modern ways. Cybercrime is a borderless crime and requires special treatment when collecting digital evidence. Evidence in cyber crime allows criminals to hide or remove their tracks. Until now, Indonesian National Police (POLRI) does not have any case management guidelines for storing digital evidence using digital forensic methods. This research aims to determine what steps investigators take in obtaining digital evidence, whether these steps have been effective in law enforcement, or whether they are still unclear. The method in this writing is normative legal research based on a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The author offers to establish guidelines for handling cyber crime cases in the Indonesian National Police by relying on digital forensic methods by strengthening and choosing the right tools for handling cases.

The Indonesian National Police (POLRI), as the front guard in maintaining security and public order, must carry out strategic transformation to face these threats.…”
