Abstract

This study discusses the application of biometric technology in the identification of criminal offenders at the Langsa Police Department, including the types of technology used, identification procedures, as well as case study implementations. The research method used is a normative juridical approach supported by empirical data, with primary sources as well as secondary data from legal documents and related regulations. The focus of this study is to analyze the effectiveness, advantages, risks of privacy violations, and regulatory challenges in using biometric technology to support the criminal justice system in Indonesia. The research results show that biometric technology, especially fingerprints and facial recognition, successfully accelerates the identification process of offenders with a high degree of accuracy and strengthens evidence in the courtroom. However, there are still regulatory obstacles and personal data protection issues that need to be addressed to avoid the risk of misuse and human rights violations. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening harmonious regulation and increasing the capacity of law enforcement officers so that biometric technology can be utilized optimally and fairly
