Abstract: This article aims to understand generational differences within the Indonesian National Police (Polri), focusing on work values, communication styles, leadership expectations, technological adaptability, and organizational culture. Using a systematic literature review method, this study identifies unique generational traits of Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y (Millennials), and Generation Z that impact workplace dynamics and collaboration within Polri’s hierarchical structure. The findings reveal that older generations tend to value stability, a strong hierarchy, and directive leadership, while younger generations prioritize flexibility, participatory decision-making, and digital technology. These differences pose challenges to team cohesion but also present opportunities for innovation and enhanced collaboration. To create a harmonious and productive work environment, Polri is recommended to adopt strategies such as hybrid leadership models, cross-generational mentoring programs, and tailored digital training. These efforts are expected to build an inclusive and adaptive organizational culture, enabling Polri to better meet modern law enforcement challenges.
