Drug abuse and illegal narcotics trafficking have become serious problems that threaten public health, social stability, and national security in Indonesia. The increasing circulation and misuse of narcotics require effective law enforcement and preventive measures from relevant authorities. This study examines the efforts carried out by the Narcotics Investigation Unit of the Muaro Jambi Police in preventing and combating the circulation and abuse of narcotics within its jurisdiction. This research uses a descriptive–analytical method with a juridical approach to analyze the implementation of law enforcement related to narcotics crimes. The data used in this study consist of primary and secondary data obtained through library research and field research. Primary legal materials include various laws and regulations related to narcotics, particularly Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, while secondary data are obtained from legal literature, journals, and other relevant sources. The results of the study show that the Muaro Jambi Police have carried out various efforts to prevent and eradicate narcotics crimes through investigation, law enforcement, community outreach, and cooperation with other institutions. Preventive efforts include public education, community participation, and monitoring of areas vulnerable to narcotics circulation. In addition, technological innovations such as online complaint systems and surveillance technologies are also used to support crime prevention and improve public services. However, several obstacles remain, including low public awareness of the law, wide territorial coverage, and the rapid development of narcotics networks. Therefore, cooperation between law enforcement agencies, communities, and families is essential to effectively reduce narcotics abuse and create a safer society.
