Abstract

The purpose of this research is 1) to determine and analyze the authority of Civil Servant Investigators regarding Criminal Acts in the Field of Agricultural Cultivation; 2) to determine and analyze the position of Civil Servant Investigators regarding Criminal Acts in the Agricultural Cultivation Sector. This research uses normative juridical research using approaches, legislation (statute approach, conceptual approach), case approach (case approach). The final results show that there is weak coordination between law enforcement. The process of investigating criminal acts of spreading fake palm seeds is not only involving Polri investigators as investigators, but also involving Civil Servant investigators (PPNS) in the field of Agricultural Cultivation who are authorized by law to carry out criminal acts in the plantation sector. Civil Servant Investigators (PPNS) are under the coordination and supervision of Polri investigators, As a consequence, there is a working relationship that must always be maintained between the two of them. This working relationship is basically functional in nature which is realized in the form of a working relationship in the operational field which includes investigations, providing investigative assistance and supervising investigations. The working relationship in the field of development includes developing the capabilities of PPNS , building the strength of PPNS, as well as developing a reporting system. Based on the authority inherent in Civil Servant Investigators in the field of Agricultural Cultivation, they do not have the same authority as Police Investigators to carry out investigations into criminal acts in the field of Agricultural Cultivation. The disparity in the authority of PPNS in the field of Agricultural Cultivation and that of National Police Investigators lies in the authority in terms of arresting and detaining criminal suspects. If it is deemed necessary to arrest and detain the suspect by the PPNS, then the arrest and detention must be carried out by the National Police Investigator himself at the request of the PPNS.
