The 2025 update to the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) is part of efforts to reform the criminal justice system in Indonesia, with the aim of bringing criminal procedure law into line with developments in constitutional democracy and the protection of human rights. However, the expansion of the authority of law enforcement officials as stipulated in the 2025 KUHAP raises various normative issues that have the potential to affect the guarantee of due process of law. This study aims to analyze the problems of regulating the authority of law enforcement officials in the 2025 KUHAP and assess its compatibility with the principle of due process of law as a fundamental principle in criminal procedure law. This study uses a normative legal research method with a legislative, conceptual, and case approach. The data used is secondary data consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, which were collected through literature study and analyzed qualitatively and juridically. The results of the study show that the expansion of the authority of law enforcement officials in the 2025 Criminal Procedure Code still has normative weaknesses, particularly regarding the limits of authority, discretion, and the effectiveness of judicial control, thereby potentially weakening the protection of human rights and the principle of procedural justice. This study concludes that it is necessary to reorient the regulation of law enforcement authorities' authority based on due process of law by affirming the limits of authority, strengthening substantive judicial oversight mechanisms, and applying more operational checks and balances principles so that the implementation of the 2025 Criminal Procedure Code truly reflects a fair criminal justice system based on the rule of law.
