Abstract

The emergence  of intolerant attitudes in a small number of  religious communities is a threat to the integrity of the Unitary State  of  the Republic of Indonesia.   To anticipate   this,  mainstreaming religious moderation is a must,  including  within the  Indonesian National Police. This study aims to analyze and describe how  to strengthen religious moderation of National Police members  at the Center for Administrative Education  through Bintalis activities.  This research uses qualitative methods with  data  collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that Islamic Mental Development (Bintalis) activities were used as a  means  of  strengthening religious moderation of  members of the National Police.  Internalization of religious  moderation values in police members  is carried out through various activities such as recitations, commemoration of Islamic  holidays,   Islamic posters,  religious articles,    Pre-marital  formation, routine worship activities,  spiritual tours and discussion of  hadith nabi.  The implication of Bintalis'  activities is the growth  of  moderation in every member of the  National Police.
