Abstract

In the digital age, technological advancements have led to the widespread use of information systems and technology (IS/IT) to enhance public services. Implementing e-government has become crucial in supporting good governance, particularly in Government-to-Employee (G2E) and Government-to-Citizen (G2C). This study focuses on the South Bengkulu Police Station's Information System/Information Tech utilization to improve public service delivery. Through an analysis of the station's public service processes using SWOT and PEST analysis, this research aims to identify existing efforts in service development. It also aims to propose a concept for integrated public services. The findings of this analysis offer insights into optimizing police performance, benefiting the general public and internal stakeholders. However, certain limitations are acknowledged, including the lack of in-depth analysis of public service system performance and the creation of integrated service design concepts.

Introduction

Technological progress is going so fast in the digital age. The world has entered the digital era that uses Information Systems/Information Tech (Teubner & Stockhinger, 2020). An information system is a man-made system containing an integrated set of manual components and computerized components that aim to collect, process, and generate user information (Hailemariam et al., 2023). Information technology can be used to process data, including processing, obtaining, compiling, storing, and manipulating data in various ways to produce quality information (Tampi et al., 2022).

E-government represents a modernization of public administration, integrating information and communication technologies with the core purpose of government: inclusively addressing issues and providing services to the public. This encompasses tasks such as state planning and administration ((Hernández et al., 2024);(Tsybulnyk et al., 2020)). E-government is used as a means of ICT to support good governance. The forms of e-gov used by the National Police are G2E and G2C ((Mabinane, 2022);(Amutha, 2022)).

Polri has widely used Information Systems/Information Tech in carrying out its duties, including online driver's licenses and Police Record certificates, video conferencing, e-ticketing and investigation, and other applications ((Sayogo et al., 2020);(Cordner, 2023)). This can also be seen at the South Bengkulu Police Station. Historically, the South Bengkulu Regional Police Station was part of the three initial main police stations in Bengkulu. The position of the South Bengkulu Regional Police Station is in the south of Bengkulu, bordering Lahat and the Indian Ocean. The vision of the South Bengkulu Regional Police Station is (Akbar, Nurazi, & Widodo, 2023):

"The realization of a professional, moral, dignified and close to the community posture of the National Police, superior public security and order services, the establishment of partnerships with the community, effective law enforcement and proactive police synergy in order to strengthen internal security"

This certainly follows the motto of the National Police, which is professional, modern, and trusted (promoter) (Herlambang et al., 2023). The South Bengkulu Regional Police Station is entering the third phase of the 2015-2010 strategic plan, which focuses on maintaining order and community services (Veevers, 2021). Even though it is in a disadvantaged area zone, the South Bengkulu Regional Police Station Station can compete with other police stations in big cities. South Bengkulu Regional Police Station Station can develop and innovate to support public services to the community. However, in its implementation, there are still some obstacles in the field (Rasiddin & Ansori, 2022).

The problem formulation in this analysis examines how to implement integrated public services effectively through technology and communication. The purpose of this study is to determine the efforts made in developing public services at the South Bengkulu Police Station, analyze the process of public services at the Police Station using SWOT and PEST analysis, and design the concept of integrated public services in the future. The benefit of this analysis for the general public is that it can be used to obtain optimal police performance results, which will provide direct benefits to the community. At the same time, the internal benefit is to analyze and evaluate the performance of Polres members in the field of public service information technology to improve the quality of service in the future following the vision of Polri Promoter.

The limitations of problems in this analysis include two areas of problems to be studied, namely the discussion of the analysis of the performance of the public service system at the South Bengkulu Police Station using several methods, as well as conceptualizing an integrated public service actualization design to improve the performance of the police station.

This analysis contributes to the existing body of research by delving into the specific context of the South Bengkulu Police Station's efforts in leveraging IS/IT for public service improvement. While prior studies have explored e-government initiatives and their impact on governance and service delivery ((Ravšelj et al., 2022); (Bogdanoska et al., n.d.)), this research offers a focused examination of a regional police station's strategies and challenges.

Additionally, applying SWOT and PEST analyses to assess public service processes at the South Bengkulu Police Station provides a structured framework for identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, offering insights into areas for improvement and innovation. Furthermore, the proposed conceptualization of integrated public services aims to address identified limitations and enhance station performance, contributing to the discourse on effective implementation strategies for e-government initiatives in law enforcement agencies.

Results and Discussion

Evaluation of the maturity of the South Bengkulu Police Station strategy

Each organization has a different form of strategy, both implicitly and explicitly, including the police. Polres is a police organizational structure under the Polda. Because the police are in direct contact with the community, they must have a strategy to deal with all forms of order and maintain insecurity. Of course, the level of maturity between each police station and other police stations is also important. The South Bengkulu Regional Police Station has been in phase four because it has been able to carry out strategic management in improving public services.

From the picture above, in phase 4, the organization is encouraged to innovate and create its business environment. The South Bengkulu Regional Police Station has been good at planning and innovative work.

Strategic Planning Method for Public Services of South Bengkulu Police Station According to the Version of Ward and Peppard

The most important factor in strategic planning is the use of work methodology. Methodology involves techniques, tools, and methods used to do something. The goal of the methodology is to minimize failures and ensure the involvement of all parties. According to research by Ward and Peppard, they used SWOT, PEST, CSF, value chain, and force model analysis techniques in developing their research. This version of the methodological approach starts from the condition of Information System/Information Tech investment in the past, which was less useful for the organization's business objectives and capturing business opportunities, as well as the phenomenon of increasing the competitive advantage of an organization because it can utilize Information System/Information Tech optimally and optimally (Zulkarnaen, 2022).

SWOT Analysis

This analysis is the first model Ward and Peppard used in organizations. In an analysis at the South Bengkulu Regional Police Station Station, an analysis of the factors of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in integrated public services has been carried out as follows (Zulkarnaen, 2022):

Public Service Chart of South Bengkulu Police for 4 years

Based on the graphic image above, it was found that the public service system at the South Bengkulu Police Station had received an "A" predicate with a high Community Satisfaction Index (IKM). In 2018, it reached 79.86%. The public service of the South Bengkulu Police has entered the integrity zone and corruption-free area. However, between functions, there is still no integration of data and services. Concept and Design.

The concept of Information System/Information Tech integrated public services of the South Bengkulu Police Station

The concept of public service information system (IS/IT) application design is directed by building an application that divides it into two parts, namely the part that provides an interface to users and the part that processes and stores data in a database so that if there is a disaster or disaster, the data does not get lost. The application that will be used in implementing the concept of public services is used by applications with a web-based model so that there is a cohesiveness of data between the Traffic and Road Transportation Unit and intelligence.

New Applications

The innovative design is to create a new application that will support the Camkoha application, which can only be used by the people of South Bengkulu. This application will also be integrated with the regional Population and Civil Registry Agency office.

Upcoming Portfolio Design

The upcoming portfolio design is carried out using McFarlan's application portfolio matrix to find out an overview of each application's contribution to the current and future South Bengkulu Police in order to lead to good public services.

Conclusion

Based on the results of the analysis conducted by researchers, the public service system at the South Bengkulu Police Station is quite good because it gets an "A" grade and an integrity zone predicate. Its services have also used SWOT, PEST, CSF, Value chain, and Forces Model analysis research models. However, the data has not been integrated internally between the police and intelligence. Likewise, externally with the Population and Civil Registration Service. Therefore, the author considers it necessary to create an integrated public service system internally and externally in order to improve services and reduce bureaucracy towards good governance. Hopefully, this analysis can provide a positive contribution to advancing the organization. Thus, it will be able to increase the trust of the National Police in the eyes of the public towards the transformation of public services.
