The only female commune police chief in Nghe An

(Baonghean.vn) - Ms. Chu Thi Ngoc is currently the only woman holding the position of Commune Police Chief in Nghe An province. More notably, Ms. Ngoc has also been Vice Chairwoman of the People's Committee of Quynh Giang Commune (Quynh Luu) for many years.

Although she has two jobs at once, the pressure and responsibility are huge, but with the encouragement of colleagues and family, Ms. Ngoc always completes her tasks well.

Ms. Ngoc said that there were nights at 11-12 midnight, when she heard the police officers report a gambling and fighting incident at a karaoke bar, she quickly went to the scene with her colleagues. With determination and courage, she assigned forces to block off the area where the lawbreakers were, and the commune police team rushed in to arrest the gambling group. For the fighting incidents, she directly directed the police officers to organize mediation to avoid causing serious injuries to the subjects.

Talking about her efforts, Ms. Ngoc said that in 2004, after graduating from Nghe An Medical College, she returned to her hometown to participate in the Youth Union. At first, she participated in the Youth Union of the hamlet, after many years of striving and training, she was assigned to join the Executive Committee of the Youth Union of Quynh Giang commune.

During her time working in the Youth Union, Ms. Ngoc has constantly promoted the role of youth vanguard, always taking the lead in local movements; participating in contributing ideas in important meetings organized by the commune. Her opinions have contributed to solving difficulties in socio-economic development in the locality, and have been highly appreciated by the Party Committee and the government.

In 2006, she was sent by the Party Committee to study at the University of Agriculture and Forestry in Hue. After obtaining her university degree, in October 2014, she was elected Vice Chairwoman of the Commune People's Committee; in August 2016, she was assigned by the organization to concurrently serve as Chief of the Commune Police.

Ms. Ngoc shared that when her superiors assigned the task, she was very surprised because she thought that the leader in charge of ensuring security and order in the area was usually a man. However, at that time, there was no one suitable in the area, so she accepted the task.

In the first days of taking on the task, Ms. Ngoc encountered many difficulties. She had to arrange and assign professional work while taking advantage of the time to meet with the police to come up with plans and strategies to ensure good security in the area.

Police officer Nguyen Van Suu said: "Although she is a woman, Ms. Ngoc is very brave when performing her duties. She does not hesitate to direct the handling of law violators and does not show mercy to bad behaviors in society. All the members of the commune police department respect her and carry out the assigned tasks."

During the second campaign to clear traffic corridors in 2017, Ms. Ngoc herself directly directed the commune police force to mobilize machinery and vehicles to clear traffic corridor violations on National Highway 1A and inter-commune roads. She directed members to enforce and thoroughly handle the re-encroaching households.
