Tide News:
The public is quite familiar with police stations. Whatever trouble occurs, people turn to police stations for help. Police stations are primary-level public security organs and a window that has more contact with the people. During the process of enhancing the urban and rural community governance system, how will you better leverage the role of police stations in serving the public? Thank you.
Qi Yanjun:
I would like to invite Mr. Qiu to answer this question.
Qiu Baoli:
This is indeed a pertinent question and I will answer it. Police stations are primary-level public security organs. Their police officers maintain the closest contact with residents and are most familiar with communities. In recent years, all urban and rural police stations have actively performed their duties in improving community governance, further promoting a community policing strategy in urban and rural areas as well as fully integrating with community self-governance and grid-based management. Relying on Party organizations at the community level, we have mobilized more than 23 million people in public participation in crime prevention and control, cultivated over 20,000 social organizations that help safeguard social security and carried out various safety activities, significantly promoting social harmony and stability at the grassroot level. Particularly, public security organs at ministerial and provincial levels have nominated 2,082 "Fengqiao-style police stations," applying and further developing the Fengqiao model for promoting community-level governance in the new era. Social disputes at the community level are numerous and wide ranging, accounting for more than 50% of reported cases received and handled by public security organs. Considering this, we have guided police stations to establish and improve mechanisms that align courts with police stations as well as station mediators and lawyers in police stations. By doing so, we have resolved social disputes through multiple channels and promoted comprehensive prevention and treatment of risks. As a result, more than six million cases of social disputes have been addressed annually, and more than 12 million requests for assistance from the public have been handled.
Going forward, the MPS will provide guidance for the public security organs nationwide to implement the guiding principles of the third plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, and carry out the three-year work plan for police stations nationwide to enhance their work. We will promote further collaboration between the police and the public, and improve the primary-level governance system in rural and urban areas. We will implement the "Police Officers Visit Households" campaign, and organize the "Five Prevention" community outreach campaign, which involves engaging with local communities to promote awareness and the prevention of theft, fraud, drug abuse, conflicts and disputes, and public security incidents. By doing so, we are able to better respond to public concerns, and reduce crime and cases in communities. In this way, the police and the public will work together to create a safe and secure environment. We will dedicate ourselves to building "Fengqiao-style police stations," adhering to the mass line guided by exemplary models. We will promote effective Fengqiao-style practices to proactively address conflicts and risks, provide services for residents in communities, and consolidate the foundation of primary-level governance. To achieve the full coverage of "one police officer responsible for one village (grid)," we will equip villages (or communities) with auxiliary police officers or police assistants, and develop it with grid-based management and public services in synergy to jointly improve primary-level governance. We will boost public participation in activities such as patrols, encouraging neighbors to look out for each other, offering help for those in need, and providing educational programs. By doing so, we aim to foster a community of social governance based on collaboration, participation and shared benefits. We will actively participate in primary-level governance, and deepen the reform of establishing one comprehensive command room and two teams of police officers working in communities and as law enforcers, advancing the construction of the fundamental management center, and improving the collaboration mechanism between police stations, specialized police units and primary-level organizations. By doing so, we will ensure that police stations perform their duties in a more standardized, regulated and professional manner. Moreover, we will encourage directors of police stations to be part of the leading groups of towns, townships and communities, and encourage community police officers to be part of the leading groups of villages and communities, so as to enable them to conduct proactive and preventive policing in communities. Thank you.
