This study examines the strengthening of the supervisory function of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) over local government policies in Central Lombok Regency from the perspective of constitutional law. The research is based on the argument that DPRD supervision is not merely an administrative function, but a regional constitutional mechanism for maintaining checks and balances between the regional legislature and the local executive. This study employs empirical legal research with a socio-juridical approach. The data are obtained through field observation, document study, and legal material analysis, focusing on supervisory practices, institutional mechanisms, and policy-control instruments used by the DPRD of Central Lombok Regency. The findings show that DPRD supervision has been institutionally implemented through working meetings, hearings, recess activities, field visits, committee discussions, and recommendations to the local government. However, the effectiveness of supervision remains uneven because it is still affected by limited technical capacity, political dynamics, budgetary constraints, weak monitoring indicators, and insufficient follow-up mechanisms. The novelty of this study lies in its emphasis on DPRD supervision as an empirical manifestation of regional checks and balances, rather than merely a procedural function within local governance. This study contributes to constitutional law scholarship by connecting the normative authority of DPRD with the practical challenges of policy supervision in Central Lombok Regency. The study recommends strengthening DPRD supervision through systematic supervisory indicators, expert support, public participation, digitalized monitoring data, and enforceable follow-up mechanisms.
