Law enforcement against the crime of murder is an important part of realizing the protection of the right to life, legal certainty, and justice for victims and their families. This study aims to analyze law enforcement in handling murder crimes in the jurisdiction of the South Tapanuli Police and identify obstacles and efforts made to overcome these obstacles. This research uses normative legal research methods with legislative, conceptual, and case approaches. Legal materials are analyzed qualitatively through juridical reasoning on the provisions of criminal law, criminal procedural law, and law enforcement concepts. The results of the study show that law enforcement against the crime of murder is carried out through the stages of investigation, investigation, evidence collection, witness examination, perpetrator identification, and case settlement in accordance with applicable legal provisions. The obstacles faced include limited evidence, difficulty in obtaining witness statements, geographical conditions, limited human resources, and investigative facilities and infrastructure. Efforts to overcome this are carried out through increasing investigator competence, optimizing investigative technology and facilities, strengthening institutional coordination, and increasing community participation.
