To get closer to residents who had experienced trauma from past interactions with uniformed officers, Motalip chose to interact wearing everyday clothes and only wore his police uniform when security issues arose. His closeness to the people of Nduga earned him the nickname "Pak Salib" by the locals who saw him as a protector.
