Abstract This final project is compiled based on the importance of the role of Bhabinkamtibmas in preventing drug trafficking in Traditional Communities.
The theories used are the Collaborative Leadership theory and the Program Implementation theory.
The results of this study show that the Empowerment of Bhabinkamtibmas has never been carried out related to the problem of increasing drug trafficking in Traditional Communities in the Tuban Regency Area.
Bhabinkamtibmas has a strategic role as the front guard of the Police to prevent drug trafficking in traditional communities.
However, there are still several obstacles to its implementation, such as the lack of coordination between Satnarkoba and Satbinmas regarding the prevention of drug trafficking in Traditional Communities at the Tuban Police.
So it is hoped that there will be good vertical and horizontal coordination between the Narcotics Unit and the Binmas Unit owned by the Tuban Police and the Empowerment of Bhabinkamtibmas so that it is appropriately implemented followed by the fulfillment of the needs of the number of Bhabinkamtibmas members themselves.

For this reason, the empowerment of Bhabinkamtibmas in the Tuban Regency is needed to be able to reduce the number of drug trafficking in traditional communities in the Tuban Regency.
RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
aAU Implementation of Bhabinkamtibmas Empowerment in preventing drug trafficking in traditional communities at Tuban Police The Narcotics Unit, in preventing drug trafficking in traditional communities at the Tuban Police, has never involved Bhabinkamtibmas members directly but rather through a preventive task force against drugs that they created themselves.

For this reason.
Article 3 of Perkap Number 7 of 2021 concerning Bhabinkamtibmas explains that Bhabinkamtibmas members are the vanguard of the Indonesian National Police to be in the midst of the community because these members make the community a target in carrying out their duties (Gau.

aAU Obstacles to Empowering Bhabinkamtibmas in Preventing Drug Trafficking in Traditional Communities at Tuban Police.
According to the results of an interview with the Head of the Tuban Police Community Development Unit.

coordination or request from the Tuban Police Community Development Unit so that the Community Development Unit does not make drug issues an important focus in their preventive activities in the field.
Based on the interview results, the lack of coordination between the two functional units in the Tuban Police resulted in inefficiency and inappropriate use of tasks according to their respective duties and functions.
In the concept of coordination, the goals and intentions between Bhabinkamtibmas and Satnarkoba will be created to minimize the number of drug trafficking cases in traditional communities in the Tuban Regency area.
In this concept, the functions and ongoing ties will determine the role of each member in reducing the number of aAU Efforts to improve the Empowerment of Bhabinkamtibmas in preventing drug trafficking in traditional communities at the Tuban Police In this study, the author uses the Implementation theory analysis knife proposed by Jone (Siti Erna Latifi Surya, 2009:.
This theory explains the implementation of a program divided into three pillars: Organizing.
Interpretation, and Application.
In organizing, the author applies the application of Article 15, paragraph 1 of Perkap number 7 of the year 2021 contains the regulation "one village/sub-district, one Bhabinkamtibmas," which, in reality, in the field, the regulations have not been appropriately implemented because they have various obstacles.
Meanwhile, in the interpretation pillar, there is a need for competent human resources who meet the competition to implement the program under the instructions given or the planning that the Binmas Unit of the Tuban Police has made.
To improve the Empowerment of Bhabinkamtibmas in preventing drug trafficking in traditional communities at the Tuban Police, the implementation of predictive policing in Bhabinkamtibmas activities such as the author carrying out an innovation between two related functional units (Samosir, et al, 2.
, namely Satbinmas and Satnarkoba at the Tuban Police, namely by forming a joint WhatsApp group between the two functional units which functions as a place for coordination, sharing information, and resolving follow-up actions from the information obtained.
Therefore, through the Empowerment of Bhabinkamtibmas, it can positively contribute to the community under its care.
Bhabinkamtibmas also provides constructive suggestions and input to the community under its care so that the community considers the presence of Bhabinkamtibmas members as something they are looking forward to.
In addition to building good and constructive relationships with the community under its care.

Bhabinkamtibmas also reports any security disturbances, no matter how small, to the police.
this has been carried out properly, it can be concluded that the Bhabinkamtibmas in that area have succeeded in carrying out the duties of Bhabinkamtibmas by Perpol Number 1 of 2021 concerning Community Policing.
CONCLUSION
In the implementation of Bhabinkamtibmas Empowerment in the field, they have not received further direction and focus from the narcotics unit itself regarding efforts to prevent drug trafficking in traditional communities in the Tuban Regency area.
In addition, in implementing Bhabinkamtibmas Empowerment in preventing drug trafficking in traditional communities, the lack of Bhabinkamtibmas personnel and minimal coordination between the biomass unit and the narcotics unit make prevention efforts not focused and optimal in carrying them out.
Therefore, in implementing the Bhabinkamtibmas Empowerment concept, material will be provided about drug objects socialized directly by the Tuban Police Narcotics Unit so that the Bhabinkamtibmas become the front guard of the Police in preventing drug trafficking in traditional communities at the Tuban Police .

SUGGESTIONS
It is suggested that the Tuban Police leadership collaborate with the narcotics unit and the Tuban Police Satbimas so that the implementation of drug trafficking prevention in traditional communities can be more effective and efficient.
The author's innovation regarding the empowerment of Bhabinkamtibmas is due to seeing the intensity of Bhabinkamtibmas in their duties, which are directly in the middle of the traditional community so that it is more appropriate to involve Bhabinkamtibmas members more focused on preventing drug trafficking in traditional communities.
In addition, rewards and punishments should be provided for the performance of Bhabinkamtibmas so they can be given more attention.
This aims to encourage Bhabinkamtibmas members to successfully carry out preventive activities against drug prevention in traditional communities in their respective regions.
It is expected that the Tuban Police leadership will immediately apply the author's innovation regarding the creation of the "Anti Narkoba" WhatsApp group, which has been conceptualized to be a medium of interaction between members of the Tuban Police Bhabinkamtibmas and representatives of the narcotics unit.
For this reason, the Tuban Police leadership must conduct intensive monitoring of activities in the "Anti Narkoba" WhatsApp Tanggon Kosala.
