Abstract

Abstrak: Program kepolisan komuniti yang dilaksanakan di sekitar kawasan kejiranan bermatlamat mencegah kes-kes jenayah indeks membabitkan jenayah kekerasan dan jenayah harta benda dalam kawasan kejiranan komuniti. Kajian dilaksanakan bertujuan untuk meneroka kefahaman komuniti terhadap program kepolisan komuniti dalam pencegahan jenayah. Reka bentuk kajian kualitatif melalui pendekatan kajian kes digunakan untuk menemu bual informan kajian. Informan kajian yang dipilih melalui strategi pensampelan bertujuan melibatkan Anggota Kepolisan Komuniti (AKK). Kajian dilaksanakan di Kawasan Pentadbiran Balai Polis Taman Melawati Ampang. Teknik pengumpulan data dilaksanakan menggunakan kaedah perbincangan kumpulan fokus (PKF) melibatkan AKK. Borang protokol temu bual separa struktur digunakan sebagai panduan menemu bual informan. Data-data temu bual dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis tematik. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa AKK memahami matlamat program kepolisan komuniti adalah untuk mencegah jenayah dalam kawasan kejiranan. Dari segi penglibatan komuniti sebagai pemangkin program didapati bahawa golongan muda dan belia terutama kurang tertarik untuk melibatkan diri secara sukarelawa sebagai AKK. Ini mengakibatkan kerjasama strategik melalui rondaan tidak dapat dilaksanakan secara berterusan kerana kejiranan enggan menyalurkan bantuan wang ringgit bagi membiayai elaun rondaan kepada AKK bertugas. Rangkaian perkongsian maklumat oleh AKK disalurkan melalui aplikasi media komunikasi seperti whatsapp, facebook group, papan kenyataan masjid dan surau, pos pengawal AKK dan perkongsian maklumat bersama-sama agensi penguatkuasa seperti PDRM dan RELA.  Sebagai kesimpulannya, program kepolisan komuniti memerlukan jalinan perkongsian maklumat dan kerjasama bersepadu antara orang awam selalu AKK. Implikasi kajian memberi sumbangan input pengetahuan baharu kepada Jabatan Pencegahan Jenayah dan Keselamatan Komuniti (JPJKK), PDRM untuk memperkasa aset dan logistik yang mencukupi berdasarkan keperluan program kepolisan komuniti.

Abstract: Index crimes, such as those involving violence or property damage, are a primary focus of community policing efforts.Thus, this study's aim is to explore how people in the area perceive the role of community policing in trying to reduce crime. This employs a qualitative case study approach to conduct the interviews. For this study, we used a representative sampling technique to recruit Community Policing Members (CPM). The area around the Taman Melawati Ampang Police Station served as the study's setting. Information was gathered through a focus group discussions facilitated. Interviews were conducted using a semi-structured protocol. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results shows that CPM is aware that the community policing initiative's primary focus is on reducing crime rates. It was discovered that young people, in particular, are not interested in volunteering as CPM because of the program's emphasis on community involvement. Because residents refused to donate ringgit to pay the patrol allowances of the CPM on duty, strategic cooperation through patrols was disrupted. WhatsApp, Facebook groups, mosques’ and prayer rooms’ bulletin boards, CPM guard posts, and information sharing with law enforcement agencies like PDRM and RELA are all part of the CPM's network of information sharing.  In conclusion, the community policing program requires information sharing and integrated cooperation between AKK and PDRM. The implications of the study are to contribute new knowledge input to the Community Safety and Crime Prevention Service (JPJKK), PDRM to strengthen adequate assets and logistics based on the needs of the community policing program.
