INTRODUCTION
It is a common fact that the threat of
narcotics smuggling or often called drug
trafficking has become an important
highlight and concern for all countries in
the world today. The threat of narcotics
smuggling is part of a form of transnational
organized crime, one of the causes of which
is due to loopholes or weak supervision or
national security systems. Based on the
definition of the United Nations Office on
Drugs and Crime, narcotics trafficking is a
global illicit trade in which all its activities
include the cultivation, manufacture,
distribution, and sale of substances subject
to the narcotics prohibition law.
The surge in threats posed by
Indonesia in this case of drug abuse. This is
to the data submitted by the Associate
Policy Analysis of the Directorate of Drug
Crimes, Civic Police, Police Commander I
Ketut Arta, which said that there was a
sharp increase related to the trend of
confiscation of narcotics in the form of
methamphetamine in the 2018-2021
period. Furthermore, through data
submitted by the Police CID, Indonesia's
geographical condition is very wide and
generally consists of a stretch of ocean
which is a favorite route for narcotics
smuggling syndicates from abroad.
Furthermore, in terms of demand or
drug users, the threat of narcotics danger is
also increasingly worrying because the
prevalence of users related to time
terminology which was 3,419,188 in 2019
increased to 3,662,646 in 2021 or users with
the time to use the last year of use in 2021
of 1.61% can still be said to be a very big
threat to the Indonesian generation. In
addition, in terms of prevention, where the
appropriate law enforcement on users,
namely the rehabilitation process instead of
criminal penalties, needs to be an
evaluation by the authorities if they want to
reduce the threat from these narcotics. This
happens because of the adaptation of the
mode of circulation carried out by
smugglers, so it will make it more difficult
to disclose cases because the mode used
has never been detected before. This threat
can be a major challenge for institutions or
institutions that are given the task and
function of eradicating the circulation of
narcotics.
In the DJBC, a special directorate was
recently created that handles narcotics
trafficking activities, of course, in the
context of customs and excise. This
strategic policy is contained in the
Regulation of the Minister of Finance of the
Republic of Indonesia No. 118/01/2021 the
fourteenth part of article 979. The PMK
stated that the Directorate of Narcotics
Interdiction has the task of formulating
policies, standardization, and technical
guidance, evaluating and implementing
intelligence, and handling the disclosure of
criminal networks in the field of Narcotics,
Psychotropics, and Precursors based on
applicable laws and regulations, as well as
the management of Narcotics,
Psychotropic, and Precursor operating
facilities and bloodhound units of the
Directorate General of Customs and Excise.
Looking at the exposure to this
background, it can be seen that the threat
of narcotics circulation in Indonesia and the
world is very worrying. Many countries,
institutions, and related agencies are
making various efforts to reduce their
