Eye and ear at the facility
Late in the afternoon, Giàng Seo Pao, head of the Fatherland Front Committee of Bắc Nguyên village, Đam Rông 2 commune, prepared for his usual meeting with the commune's police officers . With the summer holidays just beginning, several groups of teenagers in the village frequently gathered late into the night, posing a potential threat to security and order. Without hesitation, he and the police force agreed to visit each household to meet with parents, reminding them to manage and educate their children, and prevent potential violations from occurring early on.
That is just one of the many things that Elder Pao has quietly done for many years while living in the village. For the ethnic minority people here, he is not only a Front Committee official but also a brother, a father, and a mediator whom everyone trusts and respects. With his sincerity, understanding of customs and traditions, and his authoritative voice, Elder Pao, along with the police force, has persistently worked to persuade people to abandon outdated customs, build a civilized way of life, preserve neighborly relations, and foster unity within the community.
During her trips with the Dam Rong 2 commune police along the red dirt roads to reach each household, the elderly woman not only disseminated legal information but also listened to everyday stories and the unspoken concerns of the villagers. From these simple conversations, many issues related to security and order were detected early by the police force, and conflicts were resolved before they even began. The companionship of the elderly woman, Pao, with the commune police force has become a strong bridge between the government and the people, contributing to maintaining peace and harmony in the villages deep in the mountains.
According to Elder Giàng Seo Pao, besides providing information to law enforcement, the role of influential people in the community is also demonstrated in coordinating with the commune police, directly persuading and educating those with "deviant" behavior. Many cases of young people showing signs of violating the law have been promptly reminded and warned through the coordination between the village and the commune police, thereby helping them to clearly understand their mistakes and correct them.
"I always set a good example, practicing what I preach so that people trust me, encouraging them to abide by the law, maintain unity, and work together to build a peaceful village!", Elder Pao shared.
A solid foundation built on the people's support.
In ethnic minority areas, village elders, community leaders, or respected religious figures are not only knowledgeable about customs and traditions but also serve as "pillars of faith" for the community. They are the closest to the people, understand their thoughts and aspirations, and have a voice that is listened to and trusted by everyone.
Recognizing this crucial role, the police in communes throughout Lam Dong province have continuously strengthened their community outreach efforts, proactively staying close to the people and understanding their needs. Meetings at community centers, conversations by the fireplace, and visits to people's homes have become familiar sights for local police officers.
The police in Dam Rong 2 commune have determined that leveraging the role of village elders and influential individuals is a key solution in building the "All People Protect National Security" movement. These influential figures have become an "extended arm" of the police force, contributing to bringing the Party's policies and State laws to the people, and also promptly understanding the thoughts and aspirations of the grassroots.
In Cu Jut commune, the distinguished artisan Y Sim Eban has long been a beautiful symbol of responsibility towards the community. Born and raised in Nui village, he not only preserves the traditional cultural values of his ethnic group but is also a close partner of the local police force in ensuring security and order.
With his prestige and deep understanding of local customs and traditions, artisan Y Sim Êban regularly educates and encourages the people to be vigilant against distorted narratives and incitement to divide national and religious unity. Many internal disputes among the people have been resolved fairly and reasonably by him and the commune police force, preventing them from escalating into complex issues.
The close relationship between local police forces and influential figures in ethnic minority areas in Lam Dong has contributed to building an increasingly solid "people's support" base. From mobilizing people to develop the economy and build cultural life to participating in maintaining security and order, all efforts are directed towards the common goal of building peaceful, united, and prosperous villages.
Therefore, for the Ta Nang Commune Police, maintaining close ties with village elders, hamlet leaders, religious dignitaries, and influential people is always a priority. Much important information about the local situation has been exchanged in both directions. The people are updated on the methods and tactics of criminals, while the police force is also able to promptly identify difficulties and problems arising in daily life to advise on solutions.
The peace and tranquility enjoyed today in the rural areas and villages of Lam Dong province are the result of responsible actions. These include the tireless efforts of police officers traveling long distances to every village, sincere conversations between police officers and village elders and leaders, and the unity of respected individuals and religious leaders who always prioritize the community's interests. Thanks to this, every village, even in the most remote and isolated areas, from the desolate border regions to the far-flung islands, has become a strong fortress protecting security and order, creating an increasingly robust people's security network.
