As reported by detikJogja, the inauguration was conducted as part of a reshuffle within the Indonesian National Police (Polri) and replaces Senior Commissioner Edy Setyanto Erning Wibowo who previously held the position. With his new role as Kapolresta Sleman, Adhitya Panji Anom has begun to attract public attention.
To better understand this new figure at Sleman Police Resort, the following is a brief profile of Adhitya Panji Anom and his police career trajectory.
Brief Profile of Senior Commissioner Adhitya Panji Anom
Based on information from the Yogyakarta Special Region Police website, Senior Commissioner Adhitya Panji Anom has the full name Adhitya Panji Anom, SIK, MHP. Currently, Adhitya Panji Anom serves as Kapolresta Sleman with the rank of Senior Police Commissioner (Kombes Pol). This position places him as the leader of Sleman City Police Resort, responsible for the implementation of police duties in the region.
Career Path in the Police Force
Before taking office as Kapolresta Sleman, Adhitya Panji Anom served as an Accreditor at the Internal Affairs Division (Propam) of the Police, holding the rank of Intermediate Police Colonel Third Class. He took up this position after previously holding several important positions within the police force.
During his career, he also previously served as Deputy Chief of Malang City Police Resort (Wakapolresta). According to information from the Instagram account @polrestamalangkotaofficial, in 2024 Adhitya Panji Anom underwent a handover ceremony to replace Apip Ginanjar. In that position, he served for approximately five months before being assigned as an Accreditor at the Internal Affairs Division.
Earlier still, based on information from the Instagram account @pksgresik, in 2023 Adhitya Panji Anom served as Gresik Police Resort Chief (Kapolres Gresik). He replaced Mochamad Nur Azis and led Gresik Police Resort in East Java for approximately one year before being transferred.
Background to the Sleman Police Resort Chief Change
The change in Sleman Police Resort leadership is directly related to a case affecting Edy Setyanto, who previously held the position. According to detikJogja’s records, the case involving Edy Setyanto Erning Wibowo relates to controversy surrounding the handling of a matter involving Hogi Minaya in Sleman.
The incident began when Hogi pursued two robbers who had snatched his wife’s bag. During the pursuit, the perpetrators’ motorcycle crashed into a wall and resulted in both of them dying.
During the investigation into the traffic accident, Hogi was briefly named as a suspect by police. This designation drew widespread public criticism because Hogi was seen as merely attempting to pursue the criminals who had harmed his family.
As the commanding officer at that time, Edy Setyanto Erning Wibowo, who was serving as Kapolresta Sleman, was then investigated by the Internal Affairs Division (Propam). The investigation findings revealed weaknesses in oversight of the case handling, resulting in him being subjected to a disciplinary sanction in the form of demotion or removal from his position.
Based on the disciplinary hearing results on 26 February 2026, Edy Setyanto was subjected to a sanction consisting of a written reprimand and a transfer amounting to demotion or removal from the position of Kapolresta Sleman. The sanction was imposed as a firm action against the weak supervisory function in handling a case that caused public outcry.
Following up on these results, the National Police Chief issued a transfer telegram dated 27 February 2026 concerning termination from and appointment to positions within Polri. From this telegram came the inauguration of Adhitya Panji Anom’s new position.
