This study aims to investigate the factors that influence the giving of discretion by police officers in the field in providing services to the public or when carrying out their functions and duties and responsibilities. Discretion is a phenomenon like Noumena. As a phenomenon, the empirical context of Discretion can be detected by the human senses. As a noumena, Discretion is in the context of the inner intentions and emotional conflicts of the discretion maker. Discretion is found in almost all aspects of human life, even doing an action or not doing an action can be categorized as Discretion. This Literature Study uses descriptive qualitative methods with results ; (1). Discretion tends to damage the normal structure of solving a problem, (2). Discretion is a method (mission) to make a balance between existing situations and conditions (reality) with expected situations and conditions (vision). (3). Discretionary actions relate to the interests of many parties, (4). Discretion must be carried out by the right person, in the right place, and at the right time. Keywords. Police; judge; interests; situation; condition 1. Introduction Discretionary actions can be carried out at anytime, in anywhere and by anyone who has the authority to discretion, so discretion is basically an act that is familiar with human life, ordinary, general, universal, but unique, and the discussion about discretion never stops and complements various studies on authority. At first, the discretion did not have written guidelines and was only guided by morality and ethics according to the prevailing legal-culture. This discretion which is only guided by morality and ethics is present in every activity of social life. So basically discretion is not extraordinary; however, the discussion on discretion has never been finalized, because there are different dimensions, perspectives and paradigms. In its first development, the discretion is given legal standing through general rules and stated in the Act while taking into account morality and ethics. Discretion with general legal standing is generally found in police duties and can be applied to the general public. Because there has been a repetition of events that have been predicted to occur, then discretion develops again with systematic guidance to deal with problem options, called Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Discretion, with this SOP foundation, is generally guided and valid within the internal scope of the corporation. 1
