POLICING EFFORTS IN PREVENTING CONFLICTS OF MANAGING ECONOMICAL INDUSTRIAL WASTES (A Case Study on Industries in the Jurisdiction of Bekasi Metropolitan Police Resort)
The study aims at exploring the policing in preventing conflicts of managing economical wastes in the jurisdiction of BMPR Resort (BMPR). Such conflicts, occurring in Bekasi Industrial Area (BIA), have occurred since 1990. The conflicts are the phenomena of problems between community groups related to their economic interests in competing for economical resources coming from industrial wastes. The study aims to explore policing efforts in preventing such conflicts conducted by BMPR. The research employs qualitative approach. The results of the research reveal that such conflicts increase along with the development of BIA in 1990. Such conflicts have occurred since the community began to know the value of the industrial wastes and began fighting over the resources of the economical industrial wastes. Bekasi Metropolitan Police Resort—in preventing such conflicts—has put forward the function of Community Partnership (Binmas). However, the door to door system strategy in increasing the awareness and alertness of potential conflicts is still not optimal in preventing such conflicts. Therefore, BMPR needs to apply the concept of e-polmas (community policing) in preventing the conflicts so that prevention efforts can run optimally. Keywords: conflict, economical, policing, waste
