First, strengthen the top-level design and continuously deepen the standardization of law enforcement.The Party Committee of the Ministry of Public Security conscientiously implements the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, pays attention to the systematic concept, the thinking of the rule of law and the strong foundation orientation, and makes unremitting efforts to standardize law enforcement as an overall and basic work. It has successively issued a series of guiding opinions and convened national meetings for deployment, thus promoting the continuous development of the standardization of law enforcement in public security organs. In order to implement the spirit of the National Public Security Work Conference, the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Opinions on Further Promoting Strict, Standardized, Fair and Civilized Law Enforcement" in December 2019, and put forward new tasks for further deepening the standardization of law enforcement around the new situation and new challenges faced by public security law enforcement in the new era. After the outbreak of COVID-19, the Ministry of Public Security issued a series of guidance documents to further strengthen strict, standardized, fair and civilized law enforcement, emphasizing rational and civilized law enforcement, combining leniency with severity, and promoting prevention and control work in a coordinated way on the track of the rule of law. In August 2020, entrusted by the State Council, Zhao Kezhi, State Councilor and Minister of Public Security, reported the standardization of law enforcement of public security organs to the 21st meeting of the 13th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC). The meeting fully affirmed the achievements made in the standardization of law enforcement of public security organs, and put forward opinions and suggestions on further strengthening and improving the law enforcement of public security organs. In May this year, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Supervision and Management Mechanism of Public Security Law Enforcement, which comprehensively stipulated the construction of the whole process and all-factor management system for the operation of public security law enforcement power, providing an important starting point and a powerful starting point for deepening the standardization of law enforcement.
The second is to strengthen system construction and build a complete system of law enforcement norms.While cooperating with the legislature to formulate and revise key laws and regulations such as anti-terrorism law, criminal law and criminal procedure law, the Ministry of Public Security has continuously strengthened its own system construction and formed a set of standardized system of law enforcement and case handling with public security characteristics, ensuring that national laws and regulations are comprehensively, normatively and concretely implemented in public security work.The first is to improve law enforcement standards.The Ministry of Public Security has formulated and constantly improved the procedural rules for public security organs to handle administrative cases and criminal cases and the Detailed Rules for Law Enforcement of Public Security Organs, issued guidelines for on-site law enforcement activities, guidance on the discretion of public security management penalties and other work norms, tightened law enforcement procedures, standardized law enforcement behaviors and plugged law enforcement loopholes.The second is to refine the guidelines for class cases.In line with the requirements of clear use and practical service, the Ministry of Public Security, together with the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, has issued a series of normative documents to clarify the applicable conditions and evidence requirements of related crimes and provide law enforcement guidance for cracking down on outstanding crimes according to law, focusing on epidemic prevention and control, eliminating evils and cracking down on illegal fund-raising and telecommunication network fraud.The third is to establish a scientific system.Formulate the legislative plan and annual legislative plan of the Ministry of Public Security, formulate the legislative technical specifications and rules of the Ministry of Public Security, strictly implement the legal review and filing review mechanism of normative documents, select and promote the excellent law enforcement system of local public security organs, and effectively guarantee the legitimacy and scientificity of public security law enforcement decisions and systems.
The third is to strengthen supervision and management and standardize the operation of law enforcement power.Public security organs keep a close eye on the key links of law enforcement, adhere to the problem orientation, strengthen the supervision and management of law enforcement activities, promote the reform of law enforcement responsibility system, and strive to make law enforcement power operate in a standardized way on the track of the rule of law.First, actively promote the reform of the system of accepting cases and filing cases.The Ministry of Public Security has strengthened the management of law enforcement sources, issued special opinions, carried out the reform of the system of accepting and filing cases in public security organs across the country, comprehensively standardized the workflow of accepting and filing cases, and strengthened supervision and management. At present, all provincial public security organs have formulated supporting implementation opinions, and 18 provincial public security organs have added case management institutions. All localities have made efforts to solve outstanding problems such as not receiving the report, not receiving the case after receiving it, and illegally accepting the case by paying a return visit to the police, inspecting the case, and reconsidering the decision not to file the case.The second is to improve the legal review system.Actively promote the "two unifications" reform in which the legal department of the public security organ conducts a unified examination of the key law enforcement links of criminal cases and unites the procuratorial organs, and implement the system of stationed and full-time legal officers in law enforcement service institutions and police stations with large handling tasks, and strictly control the quality of cases. At present, all provincial public security organs have issued "two unification" documents, and jointly issued guiding opinions with procuratorial organs on counterpart connection, and the quality of handling cases by public security organs has steadily improved.The third is to strengthen the construction of law enforcement responsibility system.We will fully implement the law enforcement responsibility system, improve the public security organs’ law enforcement quality assessment and accountability mechanism for law enforcement faults, implement the lifelong responsibility system for handling cases and the accountability system for investigating misjudged cases, build a law enforcement responsibility system in which the right must be held accountable and the abuse of power must be held accountable, promote the police to earnestly perform their duties, and ensure the effective implementation of constitutional laws.The fourth is to strengthen the joint efforts of internal and external law enforcement supervision.We will continue to promote the construction of law enforcement supervision and management committees, establish and operate a 12389 complaint platform nationwide, formulate and promulgate regulations on public law enforcement by public security organs, deepen the reform of the "sunshine policing" mechanism, accept legal supervision by procuratorial organs according to law, and consciously accept supervision from all sectors of society to ensure open and fair law enforcement activities.
The fourth is to focus on reform and innovation and continuously improve the quality and efficiency of law enforcement.Public security organs constantly strengthen the reform and innovation of law enforcement methods, make full use of rigid supervision and management tools and means, and urge the police to develop standardized law enforcement habits and improve the quality and efficiency of law enforcement.The first is to fully implement online case handling.Public security organs all over the country have generally developed and applied the law enforcement case handling and supervision and management system, regularly carried out online case handling and synchronous supervision and management, realized online record of law enforcement information, online generation of law enforcement documents, online evaluation of law enforcement quality and online early warning of law enforcement problems, and embarked on an "assembly line" and "one-way street", making law enforcement more transparent and standardized, and law enforcement supervision more intelligent and accurate.The second is to establish and improve the record system of the whole process of law enforcement.The public security organs take the "law enforcement trace and closed-loop management" as the breakthrough point, fully equip the police with on-site law enforcement recorders and other equipment, comprehensively use various recording methods, realize the combination of online and offline recording, and supplement the text and audio-visual recording, and record all fields and links of law enforcement from receiving the report to handling the case, thus forming a trace-tracing and retrospective management of the whole process of law enforcement activities.The third is to standardize the management of property involved.The public security organs should build a special management place for the property involved, implement a separation mechanism between case handling and property management, and establish an operation information management system to conduct real-time dynamic supervision and management of the whole process of property involved. Some places have also promoted the construction of cross-departmental centralized management places and information management platforms for property involved in the case, realizing "physical stillness and procedural circulation".The fourth is to standardize the construction of law enforcement cases.The Ministry of Public Security deployed all localities to complete the standardized transformation of law enforcement case handling places, focusing on physically isolating the case handling area from other functional areas, strictly using management, strengthening security, and fundamentally curbing issues such as extorting confessions by torture and abnormal deaths of people involved. On this basis, the public security organs deployed at the city and county levels will build a "one-stop" law enforcement case management center that integrates law enforcement case handling, supervision and management, and service guarantee. By the end of July, 2021, more than 2,500 centers had been built by public security organs across the country.
The fifth is to strengthen education and training and focus on improving the ability of law enforcement subjects.Public security organs thoroughly study and implement the supreme leader’s thought of rule of law, focus on the mission and task requirements of public security organs in the new era, strengthen and improve law enforcement education and training with specialization, and strive to improve the police’s rule of law literacy and law enforcement ability.The first is to strengthen the education and training of the rule of law.Carry out in-depth education and training of the supreme leader’s rule of law thought, and comprehensively, accurately and deeply explain the great significance, rich connotation, spiritual essence and practical requirements of the supreme leader’s rule of law thought. Strengthen the concept of the rule of law of all police officers, especially leading cadres, cultivate the awareness of the rule of law, procedural awareness, human rights protection awareness and conscious acceptance of supervision, establish a mechanism for leading cadres to learn and use the law, and strive to improve their ability to solve complex problems by using the rule of law thinking and the rule of law.The second is to continuously increase law enforcement training.. The Ministry of Public Security promotes the routine, systematization and actual combat of law enforcement training, and regards law enforcement training as the important content of the "four compulsory trainings" such as the appointment, appointment and promotion of police posts and the award and promotion of police ranks. Public security organs throughout the country have continuously improved the police’s law enforcement ability by carrying out "textbook" law enforcement training, special lectures on new laws and regulations, legal knowledge contests, post competitions, and auditing trials.The third is to continuously deepen the law enforcement qualification examination system.In order to give full play to the role of promoting learning, training and use by examination, the Ministry of Public Security has implemented and continuously reformed and deepened the law enforcement qualification grade examination system in public security organs across the country.Up to now, about 1.9 million police officers in public security organs nationwide have obtained basic law enforcement qualifications and 60,000 have obtained advanced law enforcement qualifications.On this basis, many local public security organs have introduced measures to encourage the police to take the national unified legal professional qualification examination. For example, up to now, more than 700 police officers in Jinan Public Security Bureau have passed the legal examination, effectively improving the legal literacy and law enforcement ability of the police.
While affirming the achievements, the public security organs also clearly see that at present, there is still a big gap between the standardized construction of law enforcement of public security organs and the relevant requirements of the central authorities and the new expectations of the people. The level of law enforcement of public security police needs to be further improved, and the supervision and management mechanism of law enforcement and the law enforcement responsibility system still have shortcomings and weak links, which need to be further improved and perfected.next stepUnder the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era, the public security organs throughout the country will thoroughly study and implement the Supreme Leader’s thought on the rule of law and the spirit of the General Secretary’s "July 1st" important speech, comprehensively implement the Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Supervision and Management Mechanism of Public Security Law Enforcement as the main line, and continuously promote the standardization of law enforcement and continuously improve the legalization level and law enforcement credibility of public security work in accordance with the deployment requirements of the promotion meeting for comprehensively deepening the reform in the political and legal fields and the promotion meeting for deepening the reform of the police mechanism of public security organs throughout the country.
