Ganzi County Soundly Launches "Public Security Head" Pilot Project In order to further solidify the foundation for grassroots-level work to safeguard stability, Ganzi County will soon implement a "Public Security Head" pilot project at five grassroots-level police substations in rural villages. Local villagers are invited to assume the duties of public security head, performing "transmission," "notification," "reconciliation," and other functions so as to assist the local substations in safeguarding public order in their jurisdiction and promoting social harmony and stability in rural villages. The principal methods are: First, rigorous selection of personnel. Public security heads should all be politically reliable and enjoy prestige among the people, and furthermore should be those who hold a concurrent post as village Party branch secretary and who possess a relatively strong sense of responsibility for their work and a relatively strong ability to coordinate groups. Second, rigorous training. At each village-level activities office, a workspace will be established for public security heads and more than 2000 yuan will be invested for putting in place a related management system. Security cadres and police from the local police substation will come by to conduct one-on-one trainings for select public security heads. There will be instruction on related legal knowledge, and explanations of work responsibilities, the limits of their powers, and related work procedures, to enhance the ability of public security heads to carry out their functions. Third, rigorous supervision. The limits of the job powers of public security heads will be made clear. Each local police substation will periodically evaluate the public security heads. Public security heads will be supervised and urged to develop their work according to the law and in a standardized way. In cases where a public security head has abused his or her authority, or gone so far as to use his or her power as a public security head to violate the law and commit a crime, adjustments will be made in a timely manner and corresponding responsibility will be pursued and investigated according to the law. Fourth, strengthening the incentive mechanism. Public security heads may attend the local police substation's comprehensive governance work meeting as nonvoting delegates. At the end of the year, commendations will be given to outstanding public security heads. Public security heads who provide important information or clues to assist in solving a crime or in prevention work will receive an award for each instance. This is to effectively increase the enthusiasm of the public security head for his or her work. Following the success of the pilot project, the "Public Security Head" system will be extended to the entire county, to become a major force in safeguarding village harmony and stability.


甘孜县扎实开展“治安户长”工作试点

为进一步夯实基层维稳工作基础,近日,甘孜县在5个基层派出所所在村推行“治安户长”试点,聘请当地村民义务担任治安户长,履行“传声”、“报信”、“劝和”等职能,协助当地派出所维护辖区社会治安,促进农村社会和谐稳定。主要做法是:
一是严格选人。治安户长均由政治上靠得住、群众中有威望,并且具有较强工作责任心和较强组织协调能力的村支书兼任。
二是严格培训。在各村级活动室为治安户长落实了工作场所,投入2000多元将相关管理制度上墙,派出所干警上门对选定的治安户长进行了一对一培训,讲授相关法律知识,讲解工作职责、权限以及相关的工作程序,提高了治安户长履职能力。
三是严格监管。明确了治安户长的工作权限,各派出所定期对治安户长进行考评,督促其依法规范开展工作,对滥用职权、甚至利用治安户长职权进行违法犯罪的,将及时进行调整,并依法追究相关责任。
四是健全激励机制。治安户长可以列席当地派出所综治工作会议;年终对优秀治安户长进行表彰;对破案、防控工作提供重要信息和线索的治安户长实行一事一奖,有效提高了治安户长工作积极性。
试点成功后,将在全县进行推广“治安户长”制度,使之成为维护农村和谐稳定的一支重要力量。
