Chapter Seventy-Five: Undercover
"I think ......" After a few days of observation and experience, I said in a surprising remark at the summary meeting: "The first thing we need to reform should be the public security department!" ”
"Public Security Department?!" Hearing this, all the cadres in the conference room couldn't help but look at each other, this is completely out of our training task, not to mention the reform of the public security force...... This seems to be something outside our remit.
However, I don't think about what I have or don't do, I just think about how to do a good job in anti-narcotics.
"That's right!" I said, "First of all, it should be the public security department!" ”
After glancing at the various cadres who were talking about it, I continued: "I think this is decided by the anti-narcotics work, comrades, think about it, our anti-narcotics work should first discover narcotics, and then it is possible to make a series of reactions against these narcotics." Otherwise, if you can't even find drugs, or only a small part of them, then even if you do a good follow-up work, it will be in vain! ”
After being silent for a while, Deputy Director Chen nodded and said: "What Battalion Commander Yang said is reasonable, in fact, we are also aware of this problem, but it is limited to our weak equipment, insufficient police force, and no experience in anti-narcotics, so we are very passive in anti-narcotics work!" ”
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping also agreed: "Just like what we have observed in the past few days, the entire anti-narcotics work seems to be based on spot checks...... For example, there are more than 6,000 vehicles passing through National Highway 320 every day, and we can only search a small part of these vehicles. I think more drug dealers will slip away from our eyes! ”
(Note: National Highway 320 is the road from Ruili to Myanmar because it ends at the border.) That's why it's called "the end of the earth")
"And there's another problem here!" Shen Guo interjected and said, "For example, we set up a checkpoint on the way. But what if drug dealers are organized and coordinated with each other? They can be divided into two groups entirely. The former group is non-toxic, and the latter group is toxic. After the first group is safe, the latter group is notified by radio or something, so that we can effectively avoid the checkpoints we have set up. ”
"But these problems can't be solved!" Deputy Director Chen reluctantly explained: "Comrades also know that there are more than 6,000 vehicles passing through National Highway 320 every day, and only a few hundred police officers can be mobilized in our area, and these police forces have to be dispersed to various places to maintain law and order or other work, which makes it difficult for us to take care of the first and the last." If you catch this side, you lose that side. At the same time, the traffic of more than 6,000 flights, if we really want to check one by one carefully, I am afraid that it will soon cause a large area of traffic jams! ”
"The bus station, for example, too!" Deputy Director Chen continued: "There are dozens of cars at the bus station every day, and there are thousands of people coming and going, let alone thousands, if you search each of them...... The bus station will soon be crowded with more and more people! ”
Of course, Deputy Director Chen is right, these are very real problems, and this problem cannot be solved simply by increasing the number of public security personnel, you must know that more than 6,000 vehicles can pass the same highway in one day.
"That's why I said I want to reform!" I said: "The purpose of the reform is to improve the efficiency of the public security department's anti-narcotics efforts!" ”
"Reform is inevitable!" Deputy Director Chen nodded and said: "We also understand this truth, the whole country is reforming, if we stick to the old set again." Of course, it cannot adapt to the needs of this era and cannot keep up with the development of the times. But how do you change it?! ”
As soon as Deputy Director Chen asked, everyone was silent.
Everyone will ask questions, but what is the method to solve them...... But everyone had no idea.
As a modern person, I not only know how the army has changed, but also know a little about the development of the public security force.
Of course, I would not say that we should install a large number of cameras on the streets, airports, bus stations, etc., or use computers to share information and data, or assist in solving crimes...... These are not realistic, we can't even afford pinhole cameras for the armed police now, and we can't find a few computers in the whole country!
"The way to reform is to form plainclothes police!" I say.
"Plainclothes cops?" Hearing this, Deputy Director Chen couldn't help but be stunned: "That's ......"
"To put it simply, it's a police officer who pretends to be a commoner, that is, a police officer in civilian clothes!" I explained: "Just like when a large number of people walked into the bus station to fight drugs, a group of people in military uniforms or police uniforms walked in to disturb the people on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will alert the criminals or drug dealers and give them time to prepare." But if we consciously let some police officers in civilian clothes, pretend to be civilians or passengers, and plant them in the bus station......"
"Oh!" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but quickly understand what I meant.
"This is a good idea!" Captain Chen quickly agreed: "In fact, I used to use this method before, if I was wearing a police uniform, then the thief would avoid me when he saw me from afar, which brought me a lot of trouble at work, and then I was used to dressing up as a common person to catch thieves among the people, which is much more convenient to handle the case, I can not only observe the thief's movements in the dark, but more importantly, the thief will not choose not to commit the crime because of my deposit!" ”
"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this: "Captain Chen used to be ......"
Deputy Director Chen explained with a smile: "Our Captain Chen used to be a famous 'anti-stealing master' in this matter!" ”
"The deputy director has won the award!" Captain Chen continued: "In the past, we wore plainclothes only individually, and we did not conduct batch and standardized training, but today, when Battalion Commander Yang mentions this, I feel that this is indeed necessary. That is to say, the set of catching thieves is used in anti-narcotics, and the people are dressed up as people to observe who is suspected, so that there will not be a situation like we are now, and anti-narcotics is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, which will not only increase the difficulty of anti-narcotics in the public security department in a large way, but also reduce the efficiency of anti-narcotics. It would be different if we set up a plainclothes unit, with the cooperation of the plainclothes unit, we can turn the passive into the active, reduce the search area in a large way, make our anti-narcotics targeted, and improve efficiency with limited police force! ”
I couldn't help but nodded, and sure enough, I was worthy of being an "anti-stealing god", and this was exactly what I wanted to say.
"That's a good idea!" Deputy Director Chen nodded and said, "But this is not a trivial matter, and it is not something I can decide, I must report to my superiors for instructions." ”
"Of course!" I say.
"But I don't think it's a big problem in general!" Deputy Director Chen continued: "First of all, our public security department has always wanted to reform, but we have never been able to find a way to reform. Now that you have this plan, we know what to do. The second is that the higher authorities attach great importance to the anti-narcotics situation in Yunnan, which also forces us to carry out reforms, and only through reform can we accomplish the anti-narcotics task, and even if there are difficulties, we must find ways to overcome them! ”
"Hmm!" I agree with Deputy Director Chen's words, which shows that Deputy Director Chen is also a smart person.
Actually, I'm not worried at all that the police will refuse to reform, if they do...... The big deal is that I will send a report to Commander Zhang and explain to him the importance of the reform of the public security department!
"The candidate for this reform ......" Deputy Director Chen raised his head at Captain Chen and said, "Then needless to say, it must be Captain Chen!" ”
"Me?" Captain Chen couldn't help but look at Deputy Director Chen and then at me in surprise, and said, "But...... I still have an anti-narcotics brigade to train......"
"Don't worry about this!" I interjected and said: "As a member of the anti-narcotics brigade, I think that first of all, we must have a certain understanding of the methods used by drug dealers to hide and transport drugs, and even if necessary, we must disguise ourselves as civilians like plainclothes police to track down drug dealers, and the members of the anti-narcotics brigade also need to enhance understanding with the public security forces. Captain Chen has a lot of experience in makeup and observing criminals, so I agree with Deputy Director Chen! ”
"Yes!" Captain Chen didn't shirk when he heard this, and he simply straightened up and took over the task.
"But what I want from the plainclothes police......" Just when everyone thought the meeting was almost over, I added: "It's not as simple as you say!" ”
"What does the battalion commander mean ......," Captain Chen and Deputy Director Chen couldn't help but cast puzzled glances at me.
"Let's put it this way!" After thinking about it, I said: "What we just said is only plainclothes police at the civilian level, we all know that the amount of information that this kind of plainclothes police can grasp is still very limited, because they can only rely on their own observation to lock down some suspicious people, which will improve our anti-drug efficiency in a certain way, and other than that, the role is very limited." ”
"The plainclothes policeman on the other level is ......" At this time, the most curious person was Captain Chen, judging from his expression, he didn't seem to believe that there were other plainclothes policemen that he didn't know.
"This level of work is quite dangerous!" I said, "Because they don't dress up as civilians, or simply observe suspicious people at bus stations, train stations, or other densely populated places, but disguise themselves as drug dealers and break into drug dealers!" ”
"Disguised as a drug dealer!" Hearing this, Captain Chen and Deputy Director Chen couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
What they don't know is that these things, which are still unimaginable to them, have long been commonplace for me as a modern person...... Isn't this what is often said to be an undercover agent in police movies! (To be continued......)
