This study aims to analyze the optimization of Bhabinkambtibmas to prevent the theft of two-wheeled motorized vehicles under the jurisdiction of the Cianjur Police. This study employs a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis to provide a full description of the phenomenon. This study utilizes both primary and secondary data sources.

According to the findings of the study, the Cianjur Police's Bhabinkamtibmas-led community engagement initiatives to prevent the theft of two-wheeled motorized vehicles were operating as planned. Nevertheless, challenges such as a lack of human resources from Bhabinkamtibmas, a lack of qualifications in the field of binluh, and a lack of public awareness regarding the significance of maintaining security and public order were discovered. Therefore, researchers recommend the need to optimize the implementation of binluh by Bhabinkamtibmas for the future.
