IMPLEMENTASI PERAN DIVISI KEIMIGRASIAN DALAM PENYELIDIKAN TINDAK PIDANA KEIMIGRASIAN (Studi Pada Kantor Wilayah Kementerian Hukum dan HAM Sumatera Barat)

Immigration investigations are carried out by the Immigration Officer as regulated
in Article 74 of Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration. The current global
developments have pushed the mobility of the world population from one country to
another, which can have a positive and negative impact. In reality there are still many
immigration violations committed by foreigners visiting the country of Indonesia. Based on
the results of the study concluded: First that the implementation of the role of the
Immigration Division of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights
of West Sumatra in the investigation of immigration crimes is still less than optimal in
terms of prosecution and immigration control. Secondly, the obstacles encountered in the
investigation of immigration crimes were due to the lack of quality and quantity of human
resources in immigration PPNS, inadequate allocation of funds and operational facilities,
lack of community awareness about the presence and activities of foreigners around them
and difficulties in collecting evidence and witnesses. Third, efforts to overcome obstacles
to investigating immigration crimes are carried out by improving the quality and quantity
of immigration PPNS human resources by providing regular training, providing foreign
language courses, disseminating immigration laws, further improving coordination
between relevant agencies, especially the police and prosecutors, as well as increasing
supervision of foreigners who come out, enter and carry out activities in the territory of
Indonesia.
