People fearing the police is a wrong mindset.

At the launching ceremony of the movement "Quang Tri police listen to people, speak so that people understand, make people believe" on the morning of April 1, Colonel Vu Chien Thang, Director of Quang Tri Provincial Police, made strong statements as above and at the same time frankly pointed out the weaknesses of the local police force, which need to be urgently overcome.

The movement “Quang Tri Police listen to people, speak so that people understand, make people believe” is the idea of ​​the Board of Directors of Quang Tri Provincial Police, based on the teachings of President Ho Chi Minh. With the three propositions “listen to people”, “speak so that people understand” and “make people believe”, Quang Tri Provincial Police has proposed many contents requiring all officers and soldiers in the force to comply.

Notably, there is a requirement to publicize the phone numbers of commanders at all levels at all police headquarters for people to contact; increase the number of "hotlines" on the phone and email on the website conganquangtri.vn; increase the number of people going to the grassroots to propagate the law for people to understand. Especially, we must "do it for real" and make people believe by increasing the investigation of cases, increasing activities to help people in natural disasters... reducing social evils, reducing the rate of negative officers and soldiers.

Speaking at the ceremony, Colonel Thang pointed out the shortcomings of police officers and soldiers that they often have, such as: not being close to the people, being bureaucratic, even violating the interests of the people. The harm is that when the police have supporting tools (handcuffs, guns, and armored vehicles), and have power in their hands, if they lack political courage and are dishonest, they can easily fall.

He also said that some police officers are leading a dissolute lifestyle and asked: "I asked the Quang Tri police officers if they are involved in drugs, lottery, football betting, gambling? Which unit dares to stand up and say no?"

Colonel Thang also asked the police force to do this job, they must make criminals afraid, not people afraid. "People being afraid of the police is a wrong mindset, people must be close to the police. To change this mindset, the police themselves must change, must be for the people, respect the people," said Colonel Thang.

Colonel Thang also emphasized that the launching ceremony of the movement "Quang Tri Police listen to people, speak so that people understand, make people believe" is not just for launching and then leaving it there, but he requires all officers and soldiers to seriously implement it to truly restore the image of the police in the eyes of the people.
