This quantitative study investigates the impact of work stress on the mental health and subsequent behavior of Indonesian police officers. Utilizing a survey method with a sample of 400 officers, the research employs a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach to examine the relationships between work stress, mental health, and police behavior. The findings reveal a significant direct effect of work stress on both mental health and police behavior. Importantly, mental health mediates the relationship between work stress and behavioral outcomes. High work stress significantly predicts poorer mental health, which, in turn, is strongly associated with less effective police behavior. The study utilizes established scales to measure these constructs, including indicators related to emotional, intellectual, physical, and interpersonal responses to stress, alongside measures of mental health encompassing self-image, mood, relationships, and future outlook, and police behavior assessed through dimensions of legitimate force, adherence to procedures, and community interaction. While the initial SEM model exhibited fit issues, modifications improved the model fit, strengthening the key relationships. This research underscores the critical role of mental health in influencing police conduct and highlights the need for interventions aimed at mitigating work stress and improving the mental well-being of Indonesian law enforcement personnel. Such interventions should include coping skills training, emotional intelligence development, workload management, and improvements to organizational support systems.

Regulations concerning DKI Jakarta Province no longer designate the area as the nation's capital. Issues arise when the formulation of regulations appears to lack optimal community engagement, suggesting the potential for regulations that benefit specific parties or groups. This study employs a qualitative methodology, specifically a literature review, which entails the aggregation of materials and data from various sources, including books, journals, and websites pertinent to the article's theme. The study's results demonstrate the essential and strategically important role of community involvement in the development of laws and regulations. This occurs because regulations and policies are formulated with the community's interests and objectives in consideration when they are actively engaged. Increased legislation and regulations favoring public interests will be enacted due to the recognition of the significance of public participation. Integrating the community into significant meetings related to law formation, including work meetings, committee sessions, drafting team discussions, and plenary assemblies as decision-making forums, is an effective method to guarantee public involvement in the legislative process. Public hearings, consultations, and additional avenues are equally significant. Moreover, to effectively align individuals' aspirations with legal standards, council members must authentically embody the ethos of public service. The public must be discerning and judicious in their choice of representatives who truly embody this spirit. Nonetheless, the populace ought to possess the greatest access to governmental procedures to facilitate their involvement in the formulation of laws and regulations. The public should have convenient access to this information and be able to obtain clear details through various offline and online sources.
