Studying Amidst the Demands of Service Duties
Aris's toughest challenge during his studies was the intersection of activity schedules between studying and duties in the police. Especially at important times such as international events, to the security period of the last presidential election. But he was able to overcome it nicely.

"Research on smart policing is also still very minimal in international journals," he added.

Since the beginning of his study, Aris has predicted that his research would be bored. Behind the boredom, there is the figure of his wife and children who always encourage him, making Aris remain optimal in maintaining his role as a student as well as a member of the National Police.
