Police Officer Pu of the Investigation Detachment of the Water Patrol Corps of the Public Security Department of Yunnan Province recalled that at the beginning of the establishment of the joint patrol and law enforcement mechanism, large-scale drug trafficking cases were often seized in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin. Many young team members were shocked when they saw tons of drugs for the first time. .
The joint patrol law enforcement mechanism has been in operation for more than 10 years. With the unremitting efforts of the law enforcement agencies of the four countries, the security situation in the river basin and the anti-drug situation have been significantly improved. Drug crimes have changed from rampant to occasional, from occasional to long-term non-issue, and the problem of drug outflow in the "Golden Triangle" area has been improved. effective governance.
Recently, the Ministry of Public Security's "No. 2021-85" ministerial-level drug trafficking case was successfully detected.

The relevant person in charge of the Narcotics Control Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security said that in the future, the public security drug control department will continue to use sewage drug testing, hair drug testing, and drug control big data applications as the guide to continue to innovate and enrich the anti-drug wars such as "pulling nails to chase and flee" and "cluster zero". The law, cracking major cases, fighting gangs, destroying the Internet, catching drug lords, paying drug funds, cracking down on drug crimes in the whole chain, and further effectively curbing the high incidence of drug crimes.
Be alert to the emergence of new drugs
Severely crack down on drug-related crimes
Not long ago, the Public Security Bureau of Jiaozhou City, Shandong Province successively carried out a net collection operation against a suspect involved in a drug-related crime in Qingdao, Jiaozhou, Jinan and other places, and successfully cracked a case of trafficking in a new type of drug and synthetic cannabinoids, destroying a crime involving hundreds of people. gang.
In August 2021, the police in Jiaozhou, Shandong discovered at work that someone was selling a new type of drug called "top electronic cigarette" online.
It is understood that smoking such electronic cigarettes will cause dizziness, vomiting, trance, and even suffocation, shock, and sudden death.
After inspection, this type of electronic cigarette contains synthetic cannabinoids, which belong to the new psychoactive substances controlled by the state.
According to Officer Wang of the Anti-drug Brigade of Jiaozhou Public Security Bureau, this kind of "top electronic cigarette", the so-called "top electronic cigarette" is the reaction after drug use.
As the police's crackdown continues to intensify, some lawbreakers have disguised new drugs as common items such as e-cigarettes, jumping candy, happy water, diet pills, etc.
"Compared with traditional drugs such as opium and heroin, new drugs mainly refer to hallucinogenic drugs synthesized by artificial chemical synthesis, as well as narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs that can make people addicted." Officer Wang introduced that new drugs directly affect people. The central nervous system is very exciting, the behavior is out of control, the brain function is destroyed, and the harm to oneself, family and society is very great.
During the handling of the case, the police also found that the group who smoked "e-cigarettes on the top" showed a trend of younger age.
"Many of the people involved in this case are young people in their 20s." Chen Jian, deputy director of the Jiaozhou Public Security Bureau, said that young people are easily attracted to new things, and their ability to resist temptation is weak, and must be strengthened with relevant departments. Cooperate to improve the awareness of drug knowledge, drug prevention, and drug rejection among young people, so as to prevent young people from falling into the traps carefully designed by drug dealers.
At the same time, drug-related issues such as delivery channels have also attracted the attention of the police.
In the Beijing transshipment center of a courier company, under the guidance of the police, more than 10 anti-drug dogs nimbly ran around and sniffed the parcels.
This is the scene during Beijing's 100-day anti-drug campaign in the delivery channel.
Nowadays, with the rapid development of new forms of Internet business and the delivery industry, some criminals use the "Internet + delivery" contactless method to smuggle and traffic drugs.
"The Internet is highly concealed, the delivery network is widely distributed, and the transportation and payment are fast, which provides an opportunity for criminals to carry out drug trafficking." Zhang Jihong, deputy chief of the anti-drug corps of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, said, cracking down on "Internet + delivery" drug-related crimes. It is a systematic project. The anti-drug corps will fully mobilize large enterprises such as the Internet, express delivery, and logistics to actively cooperate and urge enterprises to fulfill their anti-drug responsibilities.
"We have set up anti-drug commissioners in large delivery companies to enhance couriers' awareness of drugs and prevention awareness, and further enhance the enthusiasm and initiative of delivery practitioners to participate in the fight against drugs." Zhang Jihong introduced that since last year, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau has A total of more than 270 drug-related cases in delivery channels were cracked, and more than 310 drug-related criminal suspects were arrested.
Deepen anti-drug publicity and education
Strengthen technical monitoring and early warning
"Even if it's just a single drug, as long as someone takes it, it is the beginning of the destruction of a person or a family; no matter how simple a case is, as long as drugs are involved, it will cause huge social harm." Chang Chen Xiaofeng said that since he was engaged in anti-drug work, he has witnessed the suffering of countless drug addicts, many of whom should be vigorous teenagers.
Their exposure to drugs often starts from inadvertent and inattentiveness, and then falls into the abyss of inescapable extrication.
"Fundamentally curb the proliferation of drug-related cases and prevent tragedies for individuals and families, the anti-drug work must insist on moving the border forward and prevention first, and carry out publicity and education to the masses through various means to continuously improve the masses' awareness of drug prevention." Hubei Yang Daobing, a policeman from the Fourth Brigade of the Anti-drug Detachment of the Wuhan Public Security Bureau, said.
At 10 am on June 1, a fresh and lively "anti-drug subway train" with green as the main color was opened on Wuhan Metro Line 4. Two anti-drug propaganda cartoon characters "Jing" were named after the homonym of "anti-drug" in Wuhan dialect. Crystal" and "Doudou" also appeared.
The person in charge of the Wuhan Anti-Narcotics Office introduced that by posting anti-drug propaganda slogans and posters in the carriages, and using subway TVs to broadcast anti-drug knowledge and public service advertisements, the concept of "healthy, non-toxic, green travel" has been continuously spread in a multi-angle, all-round and in-depth manner. , I hope that the majority of passengers, especially young people, will subtly receive anti-drug education in their daily travel.
"In this down-to-earth way, everyone starts from understanding the harm of drugs, and subtly receives anti-drug education, and finally forms a strong atmosphere of consciously resisting drugs in the whole society." Yang Daobing said.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security, in recent years, the drug control department of the public security department has established a drug prevention education system covering the whole population, especially for young people.
Through the sewage concentrate in the small test tube, follow the line and dig out the drug factory thousands of miles away... This is not a plot in a suspenseful detective novel, but a real case of technology-enabled anti-drug combat.
"We should focus on publicity and prevention education on the one hand, and scientific and technological innovation on drug control on the other." To prevent drug crimes, we must not only do a good job of publicity and education in the whole society, but also continuously improve the role of technology applications in intelligent research and judgment on drug control.
Yang Daobing introduced: "By mastering new drug detection technology, we have applied cutting-edge scientific research results to the identification of hair, sewage and other fields, so as to more accurately judge the occurrence of criminal acts and provide a basis for combating and preventing drug crimes."
"We make full use of modern environmental monitoring principles and scientific and efficient chemical detection methods to establish analysis strategies for sewage, soil, sediment, hair and other samples, so as to evaluate the regional toxicity situation and changing trends, and build a multi-dimensional monitoring system to accurately Monitoring and early warning of drug situations, to prevent drug-related crimes to the greatest extent possible," introduced Du Mingluo of the Guangdong Branch of the National Narcotics Laboratory.
At present, the country has established a national drug laboratory and five sub-centers, and five regional sub-centers of national anti-drug big data, constantly strengthening drug situation monitoring and effect evaluation, and improving the level of scientific decision-making.
