Rizal Baruna Adji

Hello! I'm Rizal Baruna Adji, a dedicated member of the Indonesian National Police serving at the Regional Police of the Special Region of Yogyakarta (Polda DIY). For me, the uniform is not just a symbol of duty but a pathway to making a meaningful impact on the lives of others.

My journey to becoming a police officer is a testament to resilience and unwavering determination in the face of numerous setbacks. Born and raised in Sleman, Yogyakarta, my path was not one of ease.

After graduating from secondary school in 2013, I ventured into the workforce, taking on various odd jobs with meager earnings. I even attempted to build a career as a YouTuber, hoping to find success in the digital world, but my initial efforts did not bear fruit.

In 2014, my dream of joining the police force was temporarily halted when I failed the academic test. However, I refused to surrender. I spent the next year diligently preparing, strengthening myself both physically and mentally. My perseverance paid off in 2015 when I successfully passed the entrance examinations. In February 2016, I officially became a member of the Indonesian National Police and was assigned to the Polda DIY.

Beyond my duties as a law enforcement officer, I possess an entrepreneurial spirit. After an earlier unsuccessful attempt at a small business, I launched a digital venture in 2019 called gocash.id, a service for online game top-ups. The business has since grown steadily and continues to expand.

Now, a decade into my service, I am not only recognized for my work in law enforcement but have also emerged as an inspirational public figure. I actively use digital platforms to share my life experiences, posting uplifting content that resonates with a wide audience. As I aptly put it, "Failure is not the end, but the beginning of something greater," a philosophy that has clearly guided my journey of consistency and integrity.
