Riverside police

"Reporting to all leaders, no one should be left at the long-distance bus station. I have to go over there and go on duty."

"Bureau Chen, Director Dong, you can't leave the water checkpoint alone."

Comrades Lao Ding and Lao Zhang were both about to retire. Neither of them liked receiving leaders younger than themselves. They pretended to be embarrassed and nervous and asked to leave.

Bureau Chen looked back and said with a smile: "Work is important, go ahead and get busy."

"yes!"

The two raised their hands in salute, turned around and winked at Han Yu, and left without looking back.

Lao Yan quickly followed. Xiaoyu wanted to leave but didn't dare. So he went with Zhu Baogen to change work clothes, get tools, and conduct daily inspections and maintenance on 001.

For Yuzhen, the people who buy things are the "leaders" and they have slipped away quietly a long time ago. Han Yu is the only one left on the barge, not even anyone making tea.

Han Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and invite the city bureau leaders to the command and dispatch room on the second floor.

Director Chen did not go up the stairs, but said calmly: "Comrade Xianyu, we haven't looked down there yet. Please show us down there first."

Han Yu didn't expect the city bureau leaders to be so interested in barges, and said quickly: "Yes, leaders, please come this way. This is the duty room of our squadron. Across the aisle is the duty room of the Third Brigade of the Hong Kong Patrol. Over there are the kitchen and water Rooms, these are the dormitories of the police officers and Uncle Qian..."

The office furniture in the two duty rooms is very simple, with only two old desks and a few old chairs, but the walls are covered with pennants.

Director Chen picked up a barge maintenance manual and flipped through it. He looked up at the iron gate in the corner and asked, "What's done there?"

"Report to Bureau Chen, there are stairs inside that can lead to the bottom cabin."

"Is there a cabin down there?"

"Yes, there are several."

"Open the door and take us down to have a look."

What’s good to see below…

Han Yu really couldn't figure it out, but the leader of the city bureau had spoken, so he could only take out the keys and open the doors one after another, and while leading the leaders to visit, he reported on the situation of the squadron.

"After the police station was downgraded to a squadron, there are currently three civilian police officers and three assisting police officers. Only one assisting police officer is not a crew member. The others have crew certificates and have passed the exam to become the first mate or second mate of a third-class inland river ship or a fourth-class inland river ship. , engineer or pilot certificate of competency, and have all taken the firefighter qualification training examination."

"Dear leaders, this is our machine repair shop. This is the spare parts warehouse. We can repair minor malfunctions on law enforcement boats ourselves. This is a power generation room. The power supply in rural areas is unstable, and it is more unstable on the river than on the shore. When there is wind or rain, there will be a power outage. The barge and 001 are anchored on the river and must display traffic lights according to regulations, so we need to generate electricity when there is a power outage."

This is not a Marine Police Squadron, it looks a bit like a shipping company.

Director Chen looked at the equipment maintenance records hanging on the shelf and asked curiously: "Comrade Xianyu, do you have an electrician?"

"Report to Bureau Chen, we don't have a full-time electrician, but Co-Police Comrade Liang Xiaoyu and I both have electrician certificates."

"Are you the first mate or the second mate?"

"I am the chief mate. I have a first mate's certificate of competency for ships with an unlimited navigation area of ​​over 5,000 gross tons, a first mate's certificate of competency for inland river ships of class III, and a certificate of competency for inland river pilots of class three."

"Can you drive a sea liner?"

“I’ve served on short sea passenger ships, short sea freighters and ocean container ships.”

"Aren't you a policeman?"

"I am a policeman and have always been a policeman. My master, who was also the first director of our Yanjiang Police Station, felt that our public security system could not always be without police officers who could repair and operate ships, so he passed the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau, which is now the Changchun Police Station. The Navigation Branch sent me to the Donghai Maritime Public Security Bureau for exchange, and asked me to learn ship driving and engine technology as a police officer."

Director Chen did not expect that a grassroots police station chief would have such foresight, and subconsciously asked: "How many years have you studied on a seagoing ship?"

"Four years."

"You can get the chief mate's certificate in four years, and you can get the pilot qualification in four years. Comrade Xianyu, you study very hard and learn quickly."

"Reporting to Director Chen, I graduated from Binjiang Shipping School. If you are in the port and shipping system, three years of technical secondary school is considered as seniority. Also, I just got my pilot certificate not long ago, and before that I was an assistant pilot."

Director Dong suddenly remembered something, raised his head and said with a smile: "Director Chen, Comrade Xianyu is not simple, Deputy Mayor Yu even knows about him."

Director Chen asked with great interest: "Comrade Xianyu, do you know Vice Mayor Yu?"

Han Yu said without hesitation: "I don't know him."

Director Dong quickly explained: "Director Chen, Comrade Xianyu may not really know Vice Mayor Yu, but he definitely knows Director Tang from the Port Supervision Bureau. We are in urgent need of pilots at Binjiang Port, but the pilots in the port and navigation system are the same as air force pilots." , cannot be cultivated in a short period of time.

Secretary Ni from the Tang Bureau and the Port Authority knew that Comrade Xianyu was qualified to divert water, so he reported to Deputy Mayor Yu who was in charge of the Port Authority and asked him to communicate and coordinate with our bureau. At that time, Xianyu seemed to be working on a temporary basis in the water detachment. The bureau party committee decided to let the water detachment agree to allow Comrade Xianyu to work part-time as a pilot. "

Director Chen suddenly realized that the young man in front of him might be worth as much as the two boats, and couldn't help but smile: "Comrade Xianyu, although I don't understand shipping, I have known for a long time that pilots are amazing. You actually passed the pilot qualification test. Not bad."

Han Yu said hurriedly: "If it weren't for the training of the bureau, I would never have the chance to study at the Donghai Shipping Bureau."

Director Chen nodded: "Your bureau leader has vision and foresight and has trained you well."

This matter has nothing to do with the bureau leaders. I was trained by my master!

Thinking again that no matter the master's results or the results of the institute, as long as they are summed up, they are the results of the bureau. Han Yu simply pointed to the several cabins in front and continued to introduce: "Dear leaders, that is the power distribution room, and inside is the utility room. and warehouses where flammable materials are stored.”

"Are there any flammable materials on board?"

"Mainly diesel for paint, lubricants and maintenance parts."

The walkways and several cabins below the deck are very clean, and the accounts in the spare parts warehouse are clearly remembered one by one. From the equipment maintenance records hanging in the power distribution room and fire pump room, it can be seen that they are doing maintenance. The attitude in this matter is very serious.

Director Chen's eyes were opened, and he followed Han Yu out of the bottom cabin and came to the command and control room on the second floor.

Unexpectedly, there were more banners on it. Not only were they all hung up in the command and control room, but also in the conference room next door. There were still many banners in the filing cabinets that had no place to hang them.

"Since the establishment of the Yanjiang Police Station, we have rescued a total of 129 large and small boats, rescued 83 people who fell into the water from the river, and put out 49 ship fires. Some time ago, Jin Da from the Third Brigade of the Hong Kong Patrol helped us count However, at least 200 million yuan in economic losses can be recovered."

Some time ago, in order to apply for funding for ship repairs, I happened to tally up the results over the years and sort out the materials in this area.

Han Yu opened the filing cabinet, took out a "score ledger" and asked the leader to check it. Director Chen looked through it and motioned for him to continue reporting.

"In the past six years, we have fished out 28 floating corpses from the river. Twelve of them drowned due to illegal fishing of eel seedlings, four died of swimming in the river despite dissuasion, and five of them accidentally fell into the water. crew……"

"In the past six years, we have assisted the customs in seizing 16 smuggling ships and arresting 127 smugglers. We have arrested 490 waterborne criminals suspected of robbery, rape, intentional injury, extortion, bullying and theft. Eighteen of them, nine criminals have been sentenced to death.”

"We have collected a total of six guns, 183 rounds of bullets, and controlled 32 knives over the years. In order to ensure the safety of water transportation during the Spring Festival, we escorted the ferries of Baishen, Bailiu, Baizhu and Bainiu lines. One hundred and thirty-six times..."

The first sentry post on the Yangtze River is well-deserved!

If merit and awards were evaluated according to the standards on the shore, the collective first-class, second-class and third-class merit certificates would probably be enough to fill the command and control room.

Bureau Chen put down the "accomplishment ledger", looked down at the river and asked: "Comrade Xianyu, you have assisted the port supervisor, fishery administration and customs in doing so much work. Do they have any feedback?"

"Reporting to Director Chen, many of our equipment are sponsored by the Port Supervision Bureau, the Port Authority and the Customs. To this day, the Port Supervision Bureau still bears part of the maintenance costs of the barge and 001, and the water, electricity and telephone bills on the ship are also paid by the Port Supervision Bureau. Bear it.”

Han Yu thought for a while and added: "The Harbor Supervision Bureau and the Fishery Administration Station even sponsored funds for the Water Branch, but their funds are also very tight now and they no longer sponsor. The Customs also sponsored a car for our bureau. Santana worth over two hundred thousand."

"Did your work benefit the Water Branch?"

“We are all Binjiang Marine Police, and we alone cannot handle the security on the river, so although we have done a lot of work in the past few years, we have not solicited much sponsorship from others. Instead, we have asked people to support the Water Branch. "

Director Dong knew the situation of the Shuangshui Branch best, and said with embarrassment: "Bureau Chen, the Shuishang Branch was actually established on the basis of the Yanjiang Police Station. In order to improve public security on the river, Xianyu's master Comrade Xu Sanye gave his full support Ren Shuishui detachment leader Yu Xiangqian will contribute people, efforts and even money."

Director Chen nodded slightly and asked Han Yu to take him to visit 001 without asking anything else.

“Although 001 was renovated from an old tugboat, it is still the most professional law enforcement fire rescue ship in our riverside waters today. Since the main engine and auxiliary engine have been used for decades, in order to ensure that it can be used at any time, we have to repair it almost every day. .”

How could Han Yu miss this opportunity to ask for money? He pointed at Zhu Baogen and Liang Xiaoyu who were so busy that their hands and even faces were stained with oil. He said worriedly: "It has been more than six years since the barge was launched. It will take another three or four years at most." It is about to be docked for overhaul, and the main engine, auxiliary engine and windlass of 001 will also need to be replaced.

As the construction of ports along the Yangtze River becomes faster and faster, there are more and more docks, oil depots, oil pipelines and hazardous chemical warehouses, and fire hazards are also increasing. Our fire water cannons can no longer meet the fire safety needs. Protective equipment is also seriously lagging behind. "

Director Chen looked at the fire water cannon on the bow of the ship and asked: "How much does it cost to repair and maintain the ship, strengthen fire-fighting equipment, and purchase fire protection equipment?"

"It will cost about 250,000 yuan to overhaul the ship, replace the main and auxiliary engines, windlasses and high-pressure fire water cannons, and purchase personal protective equipment to fight fires. It will also cost about 250,000 yuan."

“PPE is that expensive?”

"Reporting to Director Chen, what we are fighting are not ordinary fires, but water fires, and even fires and even explosions caused by leaks of dangerous chemicals. Without advanced protective equipment, once such a fire occurs, we have to go up, and going up is Risk your life."

Thinking that the major fires that had occurred in the past few years had resulted in casualties, and most of the victims were frontline firefighters, Bureau Chen knew that the capable young man in front of him was not an alarmist.

But that is half a million, not 50,000, and the investment of this money is just the beginning, and future maintenance will require continuous investment.

This is a unit that can both produce results and burn money. The city bureau doesn't have that much money to spend here.

Director Chen was not sure what to say when an accompanying police officer reported that Director Yang and Political Commissar Ding from the Linghai Public Security Bureau had arrived.

"Comrade Xianyu, you did a good job."

Director Chen patted Han Yu's arm, turned around and jumped out of 001. As he walked towards the aisle, he said with a gloomy face: "Director Dong, starting from next week, the municipal bureau will hold a flag-raising ceremony every Monday. All police officers from the agency will participate.”

When he first arrived, Director Dong was really shocked when he saw the grassroots police raising the flag.

Thinking that even the grassroots police knew the importance of raising the flag, he quickly said: "Yes, I will send a notice when I get back."
