Extended arm
In Xieng Thu village, Chieu Luu commune (Ky Son district), the situation of people making homemade weapons is still complicated. As the head of the village's security and order protection team, Mr. Luong Van Phuc (born in 1989) did not hesitate to face difficulties with the team members and commune police officers "going to every alley, knocking on every door, checking every subject" to propagate and mobilize people to hand over weapons...
According to Mr. Lo Van Long, a resident of Xieng Thu village, because his fields were often damaged by wild animals, he pooled his money to buy components to assemble a gun to protect his crops and combine it with hunting. Recently, after being analyzed by Mr. Phuc and the Chieu Luu Commune Police, Mr. Long understood that using a gun is not only dangerous for himself and society, but also violates the law.
“With reason and emotion, Mr. Phuc and the commune police officers analyzed the harmful effects of storing and trading weapons, explosives, and support tools so that we could understand and voluntarily hand them over,” said Mr. Long.
Not only is he skillful in mobilizing people to hand over weapons, explosives, and support tools, but from July 2024 to now, Mr. Phuc has also participated in resolving 2 cases related to security and order, and reconciling 5 conflicts between people in Xieng Thu village.
In September 2024, due to the impact of storms No. 3 and No. 4, Chieu Luu commune experienced prolonged heavy rain, causing some areas to be at risk of landslides, endangering people's lives and property. Mr. Phuc mobilized members of the Security and Order Protection Team to be on duty, put up warning signs and barricades in dangerous areas and assisted people in landslide-prone areas to relocate their property; helped people clean up and sanitize schools...
Lieutenant Colonel Vi Dac Chi - Deputy Head of Chieu Luu Commune Police, said: Currently, the whole commune has 11 Security and Order Protection Teams in 11 villages, with a total of 33 members. Although it has only been in operation since July 2024, the security and order force at the grassroots level is truly an extension of the Commune Police force. They are people who were born and raised at the grassroots level, so they have a good understanding of the locality and local customs and practices, actively supporting the Commune Police to solve problems arising right at the grassroots level; effectively preventing and fighting all types of crimes.
In the third quarter of 2024 alone, with the active participation of security forces at the grassroots level, local people voluntarily handed over 134 homemade guns.
In Quynh Luong commune (Quynh Luu district), as the Head of the Security and Order Protection Team of Village 2, Mr. Ho Anh Duc (born in 1957) has proactively advised and implemented many solutions in ensuring security and order. Specifically, in the area, Provincial Road 537B and the Nghi Son - Cua Lo coastal road run through; there are 3 schools; there is a market where trading and exchanging goods are concentrated. Therefore, in addition to the advantages in socio-economic development, the security and order situation in Village 2, Quynh Luong commune always has many potential complex factors.
Faced with that reality, Mr. Ho Anh Duc and the members of the village security and order protection team actively mobilized people to participate in denouncing crimes, carrying out the campaign to build a cultural life and build a new model rural area. Every week, Mr. Phuc and the members of the security and order protection team proactively organized patrols. At the same time, they coordinated with departments, branches and organizations in the village to organize propaganda and mobilize people in the market area of village 2 located on Provincial Road 537B to commit not to let shops encroach on the traffic safety corridor.
