Abstract
Corruption within the Police can be committed by anyone regardless of educational background, ethnicity, rank, or position. Starting from the lowest to the highest ranks and positions, even though they are not free from the temptation of corruption. The research uses a qualitative approach with case study research by collecting data through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. This research is descriptive-analytical. The results show that law enforcement that is conducted against police personnel who commit criminal acts of corruption is indeed carried out with the principle of “enforce the law using the law” through all existing regulations; however, the sanctions given are never or rarely as much as possible as stated in the law. This fact is law enforcement that does not wholeheartedly use the law. The implementation of law enforcement against police who commit corruption crimes is normatively carried out by combining the criminal sanctions and internal sanctions, such as dishonorable dismissals by Police institution. According to the existing laws and regulations, ideal law enforcement for police personnel who commit criminal acts of corruption must be carried out by prioritizing the combination of criminal sanctions, internal sanctions and widely publicized in Indonesian society as social sanctions.
