Many pot-bellied traffic police in Hanoi will become office workers.

To build a good image of the capital police, short, fat people will switch to office work instead of regulating traffic on the streets.

Thoroughly implementing the policy of building a beautiful image, aiming at the standards of appearance of traffic police, the Traffic Police Department of Hanoi Police will continue toselect and rotate short, pot-bellied soldiers to do office work.

Talking to VnExpress on the afternoon of April 7, Colonel and Head of Department Dao Vinh Thang said that this was an old directive and was only being repeated for better implementation. Since 2013, this policy has been introduced and has received a lot of support. "Up to now, many soldiers with too big bellies and short stature have been transferred to office work to improve their health," Colonel Thang said.

However, recently when checking the teams, the Department still found that there were soldiers who were young but too fat and short, so they were instructed to do better. Mr. Thang said thatTraffic police, especially young people, need to exercise regularly to not only have good physical strength but also a healthy figure, only then can they create sympathy with traffic participants.

A traffic police captain in Hanoi said that this is a good way to create a standard image of the capital's traffic police. In his unit, not only people with big bellies are transferred to office work, but also soldiers with inappropriate attitudes that cause public gossip are also transferred to duty and driving.
