Senior Lieutenant Tran Ngoc Tai and the belief sown in life
(Baonghean.vn) - Born in 1995, Senior Lieutenant Tran Ngoc Tai is the youngest officer of the Internal Security Department, Nghe An Provincial Police. He is always reminded by his colleagues and people of his bravery, sense of responsibility and solid professional skills in his work.
Having nurtured the dream of wearing the People's Public Security uniform since childhood, when joining the force and striving to advance, Senior Lieutenant Tran Ngoc Tai always tried his best to complete the assigned tasks...

In 2017, he graduated from the People's Security Academy and was assigned to work at the Social Security Department (now the Internal Security Department), Nghe An Provincial Police. During his career, despite the difficult times and seemingly impossible tasks, the biggest motivation that helped him overcome them was the support and trust of the people.
HONORABLE AWARD
In October 2023, Senior Lieutenant Tran Ngoc Tai was one of four representatives of Nghe An honored at the Award Ceremony of the Political Contest on Protecting the Party's Ideological Foundation. With the topic "Identifying activities that obstruct and distort the exercise of rights and obligations of Vietnamese citizens to sabotage the Party and State in Catholicism", the work excellently won the national B prize.
Senior Lieutenant Tran Ngoc Tai shared: “This is a difficult and sensitive topic, I have devoted a lot of effort to drawing from practical experiences to complete the article. From the analysis, I identified 5 groups of activities of hostile, reactionary forces, and extremists who are obstructing or distorting the exercise of rights and obligations of Catholic dignitaries and followers of Vietnamese citizens, with the aim of opposing the Party and the State...”.

He confided: During my work and performing my duties, I have had many contacts with local people, dignitaries, and followers. Being loved and enthusiastically helped by local people, from meals, sleeping places to means of transportation, is an extremely valuable thing that helps us do a good job of preventing and fighting against crimes. However, complicated incidents of security and order related to religious issues still arise in the area. The main reason is that a small number of religious followers do not fully understand the provisions of the law, especially their rights and obligations as citizens, so they are easily drawn into complicated activities.
Understanding that, I always proactively grasp the psychological problems of the people, coordinate with local Party committees, authorities and police to synchronously carry out propaganda and explanation measures so that people understand and have correct awareness.
People, Comrades, Trust
Ru Than Hamlet, Nghi Thuan Commune, Nghi Loc District has 100 households with 376 people, including more than 30 Catholic households. One year after building the model "Peaceful Hamlet, no lawbreakers and social evils", the people of Ru Than Hamlet happily said that since the flag road and power line of more than 1km long passing through the hamlet were completed, the security and order situation in the locality has become stable.
Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hong - Head of Ru Than hamlet always told the villagers: Thanks to comrade Tran Ngoc Tai who directly proposed, called for support, talked, and grasped the thoughts and aspirations of the villagers, the model has been effective, thereby increasing solidarity among the people.

Not only do the people trust him, Senior Lieutenant Tran Ngoc Tai is also loved and recognized by his colleagues. Senior Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Hong Tuyen - Head of the Internal Security Department, Nghe An Provincial Police, said: "Although he is the youngest officer in the unit, I see in Comrade Tai a spirit of eagerness to learn, always knowing how to absorb the opinions and experiences of others to do well the assigned tasks. He always asks why in every problem, so seniors like me, or anyone else in the unit will not hesitate to share their experiences, helping him improve his professional skills."
When talking about work, Senior Lieutenant Tran Ngoc Tai also mentioned his brothers and colleagues in the unit. He is proud of the Youth Union of the Internal Security Department, which is always full of youthful energy and devoted to the people. In the stories, he told many stories about the days when the Youth Union cherished the plan to open a "0 dong" grocery store for people in the highlands. Then, when that grocery store officially went into operation in 2021, it received a lot of support and affection from the people around, making the young party members even more passionate about their work. And that "0 dong" grocery store, in the past 2 years, has become a place to give and receive love, supporting the ethnic minorities in Huoi Tu commune, Ky Son district with daily essentials, helping them to ease their difficulties.

6 years of working in the industry, enough time for Senior Lieutenant Tran Ngoc Tai to understand the hardships and difficulties of a People's Public Security soldier, but also deeply understand the extremely noble and glorious mission entrusted by the Party, State and People. For him, no matter how difficult or arduous the task is, he will try to overcome it. Because, there is no greater fear than the fear of "not being trained"...
