Abstract

The circulation of narcotics in Indonesia is increasingly complex with the emergence of a new modus operandi that utilizes courier networks as a means of distribution. This pattern exploits gaps in supervision and weak detection systems in the logistics chain, thus expanding the reach of distribution without direct interaction between perpetrators and buyers. This study aims to reconstruct national legal policy to comprehensively respond to this phenomenon. The method used is a normative juridical approach, by analyzing relevant laws and regulations, such as Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics and its amendments and implementing regulations, Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions as amended by Law Number 1 of 2024, and Law Number 7 of 2023 concerning the Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 into Law (regarding the strengthening of the Criminal Code). The results of the study indicate that existing regulations do not specifically anticipate the circulation of narcotics through courier services, particularly regarding oversight mechanisms, legal responsibilities of logistics service providers, and cross-sector coordination. Therefore, policy reconstruction is needed by adding specific norms to the Narcotics Law, strengthening technical regulations in the logistics sector, and increasing law enforcement capacity based on digital detection and intelligence technology. This research is expected to contribute to the development of policies that adapt to the dynamics of narcotics crime, while strengthening public protection from the increasingly covert threat of illicit trafficking.
