Abstract

This study examines the implementation of politeness strategies in the communication of police officers when carrying out dialogic patrol duties in the jurisdiction of the West Jakarta Metro Police. Politeness is an important aspect in communication between the police and the community, functioning as a foundation for creating effective and harmonious interactions. This study uses the theory of politeness developed by Leech and the theory of impoliteness by Culpeper to analyze data obtained through qualitative methods with observation techniques and conversation recording. The results of the study indicate that police officers often use various politeness maxims, such as the maxim of sympathy, tact, and humility in their dialogues with the community. It was also found that the application of politeness strategies can increase public trust in the police and support the effectiveness of persuasive messages delivered. This study is expected to contribute to the understanding of the importance of politeness for police officers in maintaining good relations with the communityThis study examines the implementation of politeness strategies in the communication of police officers when carrying out dialogic patrol duties in the jurisdiction of the West Jakarta Metro Police.
