Nghia Dan strives to achieve 100% of communes and towns meeting the criteria of 'clean from drugs'

SPECIFIC WAYS TO DO IT

Nghia Binh Commune (Nghia Dan) is located adjacent to 6 communes and towns; the level of legal knowledge of the people is limited, the number of workers working far away from home is high... These are potential factors that complicate social order and safety. In fact, there are some cases here with criminal records, drug addicts, making it an area that is not "clean of drugs".

To help the locality achieve the criteria of a "Drug-free Commune", the Party Committee and the government of Nghia Binh commune have issued resolutions and plans, established a Steering Committee, and led and directed the construction of a "Drug-free Commune" model. Accordingly, many preventive measures have been implemented by the entire political system; in which, propaganda work at many levels and forms is focused.

Propaganda is integrated through the forum "Police listen to people's opinions" periodically once a month in hamlets; through meetings of the Fatherland Front and mass organizations; especially forming a "network" of propaganda and mobilization for individual cases at risk of committing crimes or using drugs in hamlets.

The locality increased the amount of propaganda time via commune radio stations, social networks Facebook, Zalo; organized organizations to sign commitments to 100% of households not to violate social evils; installed crime reporting mailboxes in 6/6 hamlets to promote the "eyes and ears" of the people in the fight against crime and social evils, including drugs.

Along with preventive measures, Major Nguyen The Binh - Head of Nghia Binh Commune Police emphasized: The focus is on reviewing, correctly and accurately identifying and strictly managing drug addiction cases to come up with appropriate measures and solutions for each case; associated with managing and supporting people after drug rehabilitation to reintegrate into the community.

Of the 5 drug users and addicts in the area, the Commune Police have established records for 3 cases of drug addiction treatment at home (of which, 2 cases have gone to compulsory drug addiction treatment centers); 2 drug users have had their records established, and 1 case has gone to voluntary drug addiction treatment centers.

In Nghia Binh commune, there are currently no cases of illegal drug trafficking or transportation or drug retail locations; it has become an area that meets the criteria and is recognized as a "Drug-free commune".

In Nghia Khanh commune, the area has potential factors for security and order, especially young people, teenagers, young people working in other areas and abroad returning to the locality, including a number of subjects illegally using drugs, affecting the security and order situation in the area, causing complex crimes. Implementing the policy of building a model of "Clean commune on drugs", in addition to strengthening propaganda work, 12/12 hamlets in Nghia Khanh commune have built a model of "clean on drugs", organizing the signing of commitments to implement to each household.

Nghia Khanh Commune Police launched the movement "All people protect national security"; propagated and mobilized people to denounce criminals, drug addicts and suspected drug addicts in residential areas, in order to create a safe environment, ensuring a peaceful life for relatives in each family. At the same time, proactively screened, detected, proactively called and questioned 14 suspected or at-risk cases of drug-related violations to warn, deter and prevent; established management records for 6 drug addicts in the area, of which 4 cases were treated at home and in the community and 2 cases were sent to compulsory drug rehabilitation centers.

Along with that, Nghia Khanh Commune Police coordinated with District Police to organize peak periods of attacking and suppressing crimes, fighting and arresting, transferring 3 cases, 7 subjects to the investigation agency, seizing 24 synthetic drug pills. According to Major Tran Huy Binh - Head of Nghia Khanh Commune Police: After more than 1 year of drastic leadership and direction from the Party Committee, government and the entire political system, along with the participation of the People, Nghia Khanh has completed and been recognized as a "Drug-free Commune".
