This research aims to describe the use of information technology digitalization to control firearms ownership and reduce the number of shootings using unregistered firearms. The research method is descriptive-qualitative by involving research informants and observations towards the supervision of data collection in DitIntelkam Polda Metro Jaya. The finding of this research shows that DitIntelkam should change their approach from the conventional way to the application of digitalization based on Information Technology to optimize the supervision of firearms data collection, especially at DitIntelkam Polda Metro Jaya
