Sidoarjo Police Recruits People with Disabilities as Service Ambassadors at the SIM Licensing Office

At the SIM licensing service office (Satpas) of the Sidoarjo Police Resort, Prita works to assist information services and provide support to the public dealing with driving license administration. With her warmth and enthusiasm, her presence is said to bring a positive energy to the public service environment.

Prita says she is grateful for the opportunity to join the Sidoarjo Police Resort. According to her, the opportunity is proof that people with disabilities can work professionally when given space and trust.

‘Smiling and proud to be part of the service at Satpas. I hope this can motivate other disabled colleagues to remain confident and continue to create’, said Prita.

Senior Commissioner Christian Tobing, head of the Sidoarjo Police, said this move is a tangible form of care for equal employment opportunities for people with disabilities. He said Prita’s presence in the Satpas service environment is part of the Police’s commitment to provide humane and friendly services to all segments of society.

‘We want to show that people with disabilities have the ability and the same opportunities to contribute and provide services to the public,’ Christian said.

The inclusive service programme run by Sidoarjo Police Resort has also been praised by the public and disability communities. They regard the move as not only opening employment opportunities for the disabled but also building awareness that public services must be accessible and involve all groups without discrimination.

In addition to employing a disabled officer, the Sidoarjo Police Resort continues to improve disability-friendly facilities in the service area, from wheelchair access and dedicated routes to more comfortable service rooms for people with disabilities.
