Keywords:
Criminal Liability, Personal Data Protection, Digital Police Services, Law Enforcement.Abstract
The development of digital services within the Indonesian National Police, particularly within the North Sumatra Regional Police, has improved the efficiency of public services, including in the management of public data. However, on the other hand, this digitalization also poses potential risks of violations of personal data protection. This study aims to analyze the forms of criminal liability for violations of data protection in police digital services, as well as to examine its implementation at the North Sumatra Regional Police. The research method used is a legal-empirical approach with a legislative and case study perspective. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and document reviews related to data management practices within the police force.The research findings indicate that criminal liability for personal data breaches in police digital services can be imposed based on provisions in Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection as well as internal police regulations. However, its implementation still faces various challenges, including limited human resources, suboptimal information security systems, and low legal awareness among police personnel regarding the importance of personal data protection. Furthermore, law enforcement mechanisms regarding data breaches within the police environment have not been fully operational, whether in terms of reporting, investigation, or the imposition of criminal sanctions.
