Rebirth of Minister Qi

After Qi Tongwei finished speaking, Yang Zhengwei and the others quickly wrote it down in their notebooks. They both had average memories and the work was tedious to begin with, so if they didn't write it down and forgot it they would be in big trouble.

Their leaders have excellent memories. If they are asked about the progress of a certain work two days later and they cannot answer, they will be scolded on the spot.

“Also, the district head called me and asked me why our police officers were fining companies that were attracting investment in the high-tech zone.

Didn’t I repeatedly say that no one is allowed to harass enterprises in the high-tech zone without the approval of the Party Committee? "

Yang Zhengwei straightened his expression at this time, turned to the first two pages of his notebook, and answered the question.

"Director, I conducted a detailed investigation yesterday and found that the person who issued the fine was not from our public security department."

"Huh? What did you say? Impersonation?"

Yang Zhengwei could already feel the air pressure in Qi Tongwei's office drop instantly.

“Yes, the people who were fined were not from our Public Security Bureau, but temporary workers hired by the Urban Management Bureau.

They seem to have some kind of revenue-generating target for fines, and companies in light and heavy industrial parks have basically paid the fines and are taking the initiative to go to the high-tech zone.”

"A temporary worker from the Urban Management Bureau? Then why did they say they were from the Public Security Bureau?"

"The main reason is that the Urban Management Bureau does not have a fixed uniform, so they ordered a batch of police uniforms from other places and distributed them directly to temporary workers.

The only difference between them and us is their titles and police numbers, and ordinary people really can’t tell them apart.”

Qi Tongwei's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. For a long time, there were many people wearing police uniforms on the streets of Jiangbei New District. They had various identities. Some of them were funded by the towns and streets, and were called public people. These people were all civil servants, helping the towns and streets to do some strange things.

For example, some of them are responsible for enforcing family planning laws. When there are violations of family planning in rural areas, they will wear messy uniforms and go out to arrest women who have exceeded the birth limit, and men as well.

In the past, there were people from the Urban Management Department working with them. But after the new district was established, the division of responsibilities was clear and the Urban Management Department was no longer with them. Not to mention the public security department. Before Qi Tongwei took office, the public security department basically did not participate in family planning law enforcement.

Whether it was the township leaders' request for joint law enforcement or strong execution, the former Yongqing County Public Security Bureau Chief Xu Che did a good job in this regard, completely separating the public security from this thankless job.

At the beginning, the police would cooperate with the family planning work, but in the end they found that it was a thankless task. They were not only working for the township to achieve results, but also got themselves into trouble. Xu Che then ordered that the police in the entire county not be allowed to participate in family planning work and only focus on social security. At that time, the social security situation was getting worse and worse, and the county leaders were under greater pressure in this regard, so they naturally acquiesced to this situation.

But the leaders of the townships are not easy to deal with. If the Public Security Bureau does not come, it will be difficult to intimidate some people. So they came up with a bad idea. They went to the clothing factory to buy the police uniforms directly and asked for slight differences.

After this move, people in police uniforms and big hats appeared again in the team that caught people having more children than allowed and led away pigs and cows. As mentioned earlier, most villages have the same surname, with ancestral halls and clan leaders. When the township cadres and the villagers started a fight, the villagers did not show any weakness and started to fight directly.

This group of public institutions came into being. Anyway, they are thugs under the towns and villages, such as Jiangbei Town or other Shangxiaqiao Town. They are more prosperous. In addition to the thugs in the public institutions, they also hired a group of joint defense teams. They are just nominal joint defense teams. They are not even considered as non-staff members.

When something happened, everyone stood together to help increase their fighting capacity. As expected, a large number of police uniforms were put on.

The same is true for the Urban Management Bureau. They use the excuse that their uniforms are not standardized and that their superiors have strict work requirements, so they also start to take advantage of the power of others.

The Public Security Bureau comes out to enforce the law, wearing police uniforms, police guns, officer IDs, and police cars, but ordinary people don't have enough knowledge to tell them apart. When they see people coming out from the township or Urban Management Bureau, also wearing police hats and police uniforms, they immediately get scared.

But when you get closer, you'll find that they have no police numbers, their ranks are a mess, and there's no way they have guns.

As for the police cars, the people in the towns did something wild and just sprayed public security stripes on ordinary minivans, but the text was sprayed as "Joint Defense", just like the situation in which many people will buy Sprite drinks disguised as Sprite in a dozen years.

In fact, Qi Tongwei has raised this chaos more than once at the district mayor's office meeting, and other leaders are used to it. The Public Security Bureau is a powerful department in the government hierarchy and cannot be commanded by ordinary people. However, there are many situations in which the name of the Public Security Bureau is needed to scare the people.

Most of them are left unresolved.

Today is what really made Qi Tongwei angry. People from the Urban Management Bureau came out and imposed random fines on the investment promotion companies in the High-tech Zone, and they even pretended to be the Public Security Bureau. Even if they said they were not pretending, they still had to bear this hat.

"Lao Yang, go to the Municipal Bureau now and ask them to send us the notice issued by the Ministry of Public Security in 1990 prohibiting the illegal wearing, production and sale of people's police uniforms.

Print out multiple copies. I don’t believe we can’t deal with them this time.

This kind of counterfeit goods damages the reputation of our public security organs and undermines our image among the people.

And they use it to make illegal profits for themselves.”

Qi Tongwei turned to the phone again and called the internal line.

"Ask Shao Jian to come to my office."

After Shao Jian, the deputy director in charge of public security, came running to Qi Tongwei's office, Qi Tongwei gave the next order.

"Lao Shao, take a look at this document."

Zheng Chang immediately handed over the document issued by the department that he had just received.

"Director, what is this?"

“A group of temporary workers from the Urban Management Bureau went to the high-tech zone enterprises in police uniforms to extort money.

I now order you to take people to arrest them immediately.

Then in the next few days, you should put aside other things on hand and let other people handle them, and you will personally lead the security brigade.

We went to each township, street and department and read this document to them.

At the same time, I told them clearly that I gave them time to make corrections and they had to take off all their police uniforms within two weeks. I had no control over what kind of uniforms they chose, but they should not fool us or use fake products to deceive the real ones.

Lao Yang, please inform all instructors at your next meeting.

Two weeks later, if anyone is seen walking around the street wearing half-real, half-fake police uniforms, they will be considered as swindlers and will be arrested and detained.

Don’t give face to anyone, and if anyone wants to intercede, just push it to me.”
