System of Universal People's Defense and Security: Concept to Fight on Drugs Crime in Indonesia

Abstract

The misuse and the illicit trafficking of drug in Indonesia are more and more apprehensive. The number of imported narcotics contraband is increasing. Based on the data from United Nation Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Indonesia is the target of narcotics smuggling especially for the kind of shabu. Narcotics can be abused as the tool for demolishing certain states. In long term, those states will be collapse since their young generation consumes narcotics. Universal defense strategy is an effort to press the number of misuse and illicit trafficking of narcotics. In its implementation, concept of System of Universal People's Defense and Security (Sishanta) involves all components of the nation. National Narcotics Board (BNN) as a leading sector has a role as the coordinator in fighting against narcotics. Indonesian Army/ Indonesian National Police (TNI/ POLRI) support law enforcement and eradicate the illicit trafficking of narcotics either through land, sea, or air tracks. On the other hand, society should be more actively involved in preventing and eradicating narcotics; moreover, they should be more sensitive and braver to report to the authorized party if they see, hear, and find the misuse and the illicit trafficking of narcotics.
