This research was conducted with a qualitative approach, the type of case study research and data collection techniques with interviews, observations, and document studies. In this study also used Field Research Methods (Field Research) and used triangulation of data, sources, and theoretical to obtain data validity. From the results of the research, the initial conditions indicate that the implementation of patrols has not been maximized, especially with regard to implementation, member capabilities, procedures carried out, and organization. The result of research compiled various problem solving and creative breakthroughs that could be made to improve the implementation of patrols, and could be used as an effort to increase the patrols of the Pemalang Police Satsamapta.
