Indonesian National Police Regulation No. 7 of 2022 contains guidelines for ethical behavior known as the Indonesian National Police Code of Ethics. A juridical analysis of the Polri Code of Ethics is important to understand the legal basis, principles, and values that govern the behavior of Polri members in carrying out their duties as law enforcers and protectors of society. This juridical research highlights several important aspects. First, the Polri Code of Ethics is based on the principles of State Ethics, Institutional Ethics, Community Ethics, and Personal Ethics, which emphasize integrity, professionalism, and commitment to moral values in every action of Polri members. Secondly, in a legal context, the Polri Code of Ethics requires compliance with applicable regulations and laws, with the Indonesian National Police Regulation No. 7 of 2022 as the legal basis for the values, standards, and behaviors that must be upheld by members of the National Police. Third, enforcement of the Polri Code of Ethics relies heavily on the Polri Code of Ethics Commission, which is responsible for overseeing and investigating violations of the code in accordance with applicable legal procedures. The legal analysis of the Polri Code of Ethics emphasizes the importance of deeply understanding the values, norms, and ethical obligations of every Polri member to create a professional, clean, and integrity work environment in order to maintain public trust in the police institution.
