An Indonesian construction worker has been employed as police because of his name – Polisi, which is Indonesian for “Police”.
He fined by traffic police with safety uniform for riding without a license on the road. But after checking his identity card, local officers decided to adopt him as their celebrity mascot. Then buying a driving license and offering an office job in their station house for him.
Polisi said that he didn’t expect it to bring him good luck. As the breadwinner for the family after his father died, Mr. Polisi was unable to afford a driving license. Now he hopes to save money to afford his younger brother’s schooling.
Starting his office job at the police station, a renew Mr. Polisi said “It’s a new experience for me, I will try to adapt to working in an office. I will do my best to ensure people’s safety on the road.” He has passed his motorcycle test with the help of the local officers. Now he is fully road legal. He will help officers conduct driving tests from now on.
As a construction before, he has to wear a safety vest sew on reflective tape during the job. Now, he is also required to wear the safety vest during the duty. But the cloth on the body means more to him. He needs to be more responsible for his job and the public than before.
