Official career: From director to secretary, I want to improve myself

Chapter 253: Plan for reforming the police system!

People like Zhu Wei in Pingkang have abilities, and they are quite capable. They also have good personalities and will not go along with evil. After so many years at the grassroots level, they have developed a good mentality.

So, Jiang Yuan actually made some arrangements for them before he left.

This time it was Lee Kuan Yew who offered to help. The others were either no longer in the public security system or had just been promoted and had little experience. Zhu Wei was the most suitable person.

He is in the criminal investigation department. What this department values ​​most is the ability to solve cases and command and leadership skills!

Zhu Wei's command and leadership abilities have been honed over the years as the captain of the criminal investigation team, and are quite good. Now he just needs to continue strengthening his ability to solve cases and transition to a position in the criminal investigation detachment.

After that, when you become a deputy director or director, it depends more on your leadership ability.

Arrange him to study in the provincial department, and then resolve his level. Then Jiang Yuan, the old subordinate, will be truly trained and can be entrusted with important responsibilities.

"Uncle Li, I came here today to talk to you about the reform of our public security system."

"Reform, huh?! You've come up with a plan?!"

Lee Kuan Yew was very surprised. He had just told Jiang Yuan about it not long ago, so how come he could come up with a plan now?

This is too outrageous.

Very efficient.

"Yes, but my plan might cost a bit too much."

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly.

"Uncle Li, the public security system needs to boost everyone's enthusiasm, increase crime clearance rates, and raise public satisfaction. That's the real political achievement. And how do we achieve these goals? By spending money!"

"Now, with prices constantly rising, the life pressures of our grassroots police officers, even criminal police, are increasing! Who would be happy if you talked about dedication to them at this point? Okay, let's not talk about material things, let's talk about the future. You tell them that they can't just focus on money, they have to work hard and strive, and the safety of the people depends on you. Then, when it comes to promotions, those with seniority or connections get promoted first."

"This won't work. If we want to reform and achieve results, we have to start with finance and power. We have to ensure that our brothers have a good life and a promising future, so that we can improve the public security system as a whole."

Jiang Yuan was in high spirits and spoke incessantly.

The main reason is that he had spent his entire life at the grassroots level in his previous life, and in this life he worked in the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Lincheng City Bureau and the Pingkang County Bureau, so he knew the situation at the grassroots level very well.

The salary of police officers is indeed lower than that of the outside world.

Especially in this era of rapid economic development, society's wage levels change much faster than theirs!

As a result, there are more wealthy people in society, but the salaries and benefits of police officers in the public security system have decreased, and the consequence is the exchange of power for money.

This is true for grassroots police stations and county bureaus!

Jiang Yuan dealt with a lot of cases in Pingkang and arrested many people when rectifying discipline. Of course, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Public Security Bureau later issued documents and gave internal subsidies.

In addition to Jiang Yuan's several major moves, the county bureau replaced a lot of people. Now that he had money and a future, he quickly won the hearts of the entire county bureau.

"I know. I actually know everything you said. But there's nothing I can do!"

Lee Kuan Yew smiled bitterly. He had been working in the public security system all his life and had been to the grassroots level many times. Although he could not empathize with them, he was very familiar with the situation.

What Jiang Yuan said is the current situation at the grassroots level, and some things may even be more serious.

However, although he is the head of the Public Security Department and the boss of the Handong Province Public Security System, due to the dual management system of the Public Security System, he does not actually have much control over his subordinates.

In particular, he is not the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Public Security Department Director, nor is he the Deputy Governor and the Public Security Department Director. It is just this level of position.

The higher-level public security departments provide operational guidance to their subordinates, while the major responsibilities such as finance and personnel are in the hands of the local government.

He has the will but not the ability.

"You know the peculiarities of our public security system. If you want to offer money or a future, my word as the director doesn't count! But first, tell us how to reform it!"

Lee Kuan Yew smiled and asked Jiang Yuan to express his thoughts.

Although he is not very capable, he should not forget who his leader is. Zhu Guangquan is the governor. Except for a few people, no one in the entire Handong Province is not under his jurisdiction.

If he can't do it, he can still go to Zhu Guangquan!

"Okay, Uncle Li, here's my idea. From now on, we'll separate the positions and ranks of police officers below the division level, with ranks tied to years of service and salary grades. We'll adopt a sergeant system, with newly recruited police officers being awarded the rank of second-level police officer, followed by first-level police officer. And then there's the rank of sergeant."

"There are four levels of police sergeant, with promotions every few years, and the levels correspond to the department level."

"In the division-level column, our positions and ranks are parallel, with little change. The main difference is that deputy division-level officials are generally county leaders or detachment commanders or deputy directors of municipal bureaus, while division-level officials are directors or corps commanders, and their salaries are not bad."

"This way, junior police officers can see hope for promotion and their financial problems can be solved. Then we can organize internal rectification, clean up a wave of corruption, win back the hearts and minds of the people, and open up the door to reform."

Jiang Yuan's plans are actually a replica of the reforms implemented by the public security system in later generations.

Jiang Yuan, who was just a little higher up, didn't say anything, and even those at the department level didn't mention changing it.

The Handong Provincial Public Security Department was still a little behind in carrying out the reform at the department and bureau levels, and didn't have the strength to do so. Therefore, Jiang Yuan didn't tell him about it.

"No wonder you told me you need money!"

Lee Kuan Yew must have been a smart man. From Jiang Yuan's description, he immediately realized that this plan was indeed very feasible, but it would definitely cost a lot of money.

The police system is notoriously long. Some people work their entire lives to become a deputy section chief, and no matter how high their rank is, they can only reach the rank of first-level police inspector.

Therefore, what needs to be borne is only the various welfare benefits and wages of the huge base of grassroots police officers. However, if the reform is carried out according to Jiang Yuan’s method, the number of middle-level police chiefs will be very large!

The public security system is happy, but the local governments below are probably facing huge opposition.

Hasn't this been the way economic development has been going on for a long time? First, suppress these disciplinary departments. Even when a country is developing its economy, doesn't it also cut military spending and the size of the army?

But now, if you suddenly say that you will massively increase the salaries of the public security system, the financial expenditure will be enormous, and local governments will be furious!

"Your plan is truly inadequate. Even our Zhu Province wouldn't agree to it, given the overall economic situation. We can only conduct pilot projects in a few economically prosperous cities. It certainly can't be implemented in other places where the government is poor."

Lee Kuan Yew thought for a moment and said.
