Abstract

Hoax phenomena are becoming more prevalent, especially towards the 2019 Election which makes people uneasy and will cause disruption of security and public order or in  Indonesian ‘Keamanan dan ketertiban masyarakat (Kamtibmas)’. The National Police as a public servant seeks to maintain the Kamtibmas situation through Bhabinkamtibmas (Bhayangkara pembina keamanan dan ketertiban masyarakat). Bhabinkamtibmas through counseling is very important in preventing the spread of hoaxes. Therefore, research is conducted to find out the description of the spread of hoaxes, the extent to which the implementation of Bhabinkamtibmas counseling is related to the partnership approach and problem solving efforts and the factors that influence counseling in preventing the spread of hoax in order to create a safe and peaceful election in Kebumen Police.
