The 'Do the best' spirit behind Brigadier Renita to become the best policewoman at the UN 2023

Jakarta – Brigadier Renita Rismayanti received the award as the United Nations (UN) Policewoman of the Year 2023. She received the award because of the achievements made in the UN peacekeeping mission in Central Africa (MINUSCA). “At the time I was involved in a project that came to the attention of the Police Commissioner project at MINUSCA. There were two projects at that time, the first was the integration of the database used by UNPOL with the platform already owned by the UN, the second was the installation of a database for the local police,” said Brigadier Renita in the Hoegeng Corner detikPagi program, Thursday (2322/50) said. Brigadier Renita joined MINUSCA in 2022-2024. At the time, he managed the MUNUSCA project to digitize criminal databases at UN missions and Central African local police databases. The data worked by Brigadier Renita and the team can be accessed in real time by the UN headquarters and all UN missions.

At that time, I was the only one and the other was Ivory Coast, so the two of us were interviewed along with all the nominees from all countries, and he said the selection process. After participating in the interview, Brigadier Renita was selected as UN Women Police of the Year 2023. Brigadier Renita received the award at the UN Headquarters in New York, United States. “One of the results of the interview was being selected by the police advisor to receive an award, thank God I was selected,” said Renita. “Those who attended (the event) were Under Secretary General (USG) Juangper Lacroix, and of UN Women there were also police advisors, police chiefs from the police commissioner’s mission,” said Renita. On receiving the award, Renita gave a speech. He reminded them to do their best work wherever they are posted as police officers. “At the time, I said this, it is good for us to focus more on the advantages of ourselves wherever we are, not to focus on being better than other people, but that can be provided where we are, do the best wherever we are, that’s what I said at that time,” Renita said. In the development of the database, Renita served as drafter. Meanwhile, he collaborated with the UN IT team to create the database application. “I had no technological background, the project was a big project, the idea was that my head of department at that time, a Tunisian citizen, happened to be there, head of the criminal database unit, I realized I don’t have an IT background, I could provide a concept maker there, I could provide the concepts needed for our daily life as UNPOL and also the local police there,” he said.
