"DiDiDi..." At 1 a.m. on July 16, Li Xinxing, a policeman on duty at the Yining Police Station of the Qilin Branch of the Public Security Bureau of Qujing City, Yunnan Province's mobile phone rang, and one of the working WeChat groups received a message: "XX bar There were two men at the door who were making trouble after drinking, and the two were emotional, pushing each other, and threatening to hit someone, I hope the police at the police station will come and take a look." At the same time, a short video of the scene was distributed.
After receiving the alarm, the police arrived at the scene in just two minutes. At this time, the two were still arguing fiercely because of excessive drinking.
In order to prevent the conflict from escalating, the police separated the two, maintaining a safe distance and stabilizing their emotions.
After that, the police took the two to the sobering room of the First People's Hospital of Qujing City, where they soothed their emotions while waiting for both parties to sober up and persuade them.
After patient mediation by the police and publicity and education on the rule of law, both of them realized their mistakes and finally shook hands and left.
This dispute, which was very likely to escalate into a fight and a police situation, was successfully eliminated in the bud.
In recent years, cases of picking quarrels and provoking troubles, traffic accidents, and beatings of medical staff have occurred frequently due to drunkenness, which has caused great harm to public security, medical order and the personal safety of medical staff.
Cui Tonghai, deputy director of the Qilin Branch of the Qujing Public Security Bureau, told the "Rules of Law Daily" reporter that in order to further standardize the handling of alcohol-related police situations, better ensure the safety of drunk people, and minimize the harm caused by drunk people, Qujing has established a police-medical linkage sobering treatment room. It can effectively reduce the behavior of drunken and troubled personnel from harming the society, interfering with the normal work of receiving and handling police, and disrupting the normal medical order, so that the law enforcement is more vigorous and warm.
Handling alcohol-related police situations is tricky
Strengthen training and standardize law enforcement
At about 22:00 on April 22, the 110 Command Center of the Qilin Public Security Bureau immediately dispatched the Yining Police Station, the PTU and 120 ambulances to the scene after receiving the alarm.
After arriving at the scene, the police did not find the police situation mentioned by the police, and there were no injuries or fights around the scene.
After investigation, it was found that the information reported by Tang Mou, who called the police, was not true.
That night, Tang Mou and several other colleagues drank some wine during a dinner nearby.
After the party, the drunk Tang staggered to the side of the road and used his mobile phone to call 110.
After sobering up, Tang realized the danger of his behavior of calling the false police, and regretted the waste of police resources by calling the false police.
In the end, Tang confessed to the fact that he lied to the police and disturbed public order and violated the law.
"We encounter alcohol-related police cases almost every week. Drunk people often have confused thinking, ignore laws and regulations under the stimulation of alcohol, have no fear, and are more aggressive and violent than normal people." Li Xinxing told reporters, Yi Ning The police station is located in the southeast of Qilin City, with an area of 13.05 square kilometers and a population of more than 100,600. There are 162 hotels, 69 entertainment venues, and more than 100 night markets such as barbecues and bars.
The area under the jurisdiction presents the characteristics of many entertainment venues, many market shopping malls, etc. The night market economy is prosperous, and the social security situation is complicated.
According to statistics, since January this year, the Yining Police Station has received a total of 5,022 police cases, of which more than 1,500 police cases were related to alcohol, accounting for 30% of all police cases. 32 persons were detained, 43 persons were fined and 43 persons were warned; 5 persons were criminally detained due to alcohol-related intentional harm to others, quarrels and troubles, and intentional damage to property; police cases related to requests for help by drunk persons, noise pollution, and conflicts and disputes accounted for the total number of police cases 15%.
"The on-site handling of alcohol-related police cases is more difficult and difficult to deal with, which makes many police officers in the station feel miserable." Li Xinxing said that in recent years, alcohol-related police cases handled by Yining Police Station are mainly concentrated in night markets, entertainment venues, and barbecues. The stalls are mostly after dinner and after 22:00. Many of them are young people and unemployed people, and most of them are between 25 and 45 years old.
They are often accompanied by domestic violence, picking quarrels and provoking troubles, deliberately or damaging property, traffic accidents, intentional injury and other illegal and criminal behaviors when they are drunk.
"Most intoxicated people 'buy drunk' without restraint during the drinking process, cannot control their words and deeds, and are prone to lose control of their behavior when confronted with provocation and 'choking alcohol', and commit illegal and criminal acts recklessly. For this reason, Qujing The public security organs require 110 police officers, case-handling police officers, and community police officers to increase their awareness of evidence. While increasing the police’s special training on legal knowledge for those involved in such alcohol-related 'drinking trouble' cases, they should try their best to train the police through theory, actual combat, and drills. Solidify each step so that the police can deal with alcohol-related police situations in a more standardized manner, so that they can be based on evidence, deal with according to the law, have confidence in their hearts, and have strategies to deal with." Cui Tonghai said.
Alcohol-related alarms rise sharply in summer
Legal popularization and strengthening guidance
From June to November every year, the number of cases of picking quarrels and provoking troubles, beating others, and drunk driving caused by drunkenness has increased sharply. In particular, the police information such as fighting disputes caused by drinking accounts for almost 30% of the total police information of some police stations. Drunkenness has become a One of the main causes of all kinds of conflicts and disputes.
The reporter learned through interviews that in most of the alcohol-related cases handled by the Kirin police, there were situations such as language provocation, refusal or obstruction of the police to perform official duties according to law by the law enforcement target in the process of handling most of the alcohol-related police cases. There are many problems such as repeated alarming and difficulty in on-site disposal, especially in the early morning disposal of alcohol-related police situations, objective reasons such as the inability to contact the family members of the intoxicated person and the lack of supporting police force make the disposal more difficult, and a large amount of police resources and police force are seriously consumed.
In addition, in the handling of alcohol-related police situations, many drunkards report and complain to the police under the condition of unconsciousness, cut their heads and tails to take videos, and deliberately distort facts to avoid punishment. The reporting process also consumes a lot of police force and police resources.
The spearhead is also easy to turn to the public security organs.
When a drunk person is brought to a police station or a hospital, they often have a strong resistance, and some even have serious violence to obstruct the execution of official duties, assault police cases, and beat medical staff. "Take advantage of alcohol and get to the bottom of the bull's horns" to stab the police, turning the spear to the police at the scene, and even many drunkards distorted the facts to report and complain to the police.
Many police officers experienced obvious emotional ups and downs after dealing with an alcohol-related police case.
Several policemen from the Qujing Public Security Bureau told reporters: In their daily work, they are not afraid of arresting people, but dealing with "alcoholic lunatics".
In addition, it is difficult to handle cases and verify.
After the police handed the alcohol-related offenders to their relatives and friends, they actually got out of their control. When the offenders sobered up, they were often reluctant to go to the police station for investigation. , I can't remember" because of refusal to admit their illegal and criminal behavior, coupled with the lack of surveillance video at the site, it makes it difficult for the police to verify the illegal behavior to a certain extent.
"If there are a lot of drunk people in a case, no one else is present during the investigation and evidence collection, and there is no surveillance video to corroborate it. Only relying on the parties' inquiries records will increase the difficulty of the police investigating the case and verifying the facts of the crime." Cui Tonghai said, Therefore, it is urgent to increase the efforts to popularize the law related to alcohol-related police and solve the difficult problems of law enforcement.
The Qujing Public Security Bureau cooperated with multiple departments to popularize the law of alcohol-related cases, and regularly publicize them with local typical cases, intuitive pictures, and specific data.
Use short videos, comics, audio and other methods to carry out multi-directional and comprehensive publicity.
Let people of all ages and cultural levels understand and recognize the hazards.
At the same time, mobilize the forces of all sectors of society to advocate healthy and civilized entertainment behaviors.
Strengthen publicity and education on the rule of law in the Public Security Administration Punishment Law on restraining sober and intoxicated persons with equal punishment for breaking the law, so that alcoholics can dispel the idea of exploiting legal loopholes.
Innovative tricks to manage alcohol disturbances
Reduce law enforcement security risks
The reporter learned that in order to further standardize the handling of alcohol-related police situations, better ensure the safety of drunken personnel, and minimize the harm caused by drunken personnel, the Kylin Public Security Bureau has adopted a series of new measures to deal with "drinking troubles".
One of the innovations is the establishment of a sober room.
In January 2021, the bureau and the First People's Hospital of Qujing City established a police-medical joint sobering treatment room to explore a new mechanism for sobering treatment of intoxicated persons, changing disputes and minor offenders' behavior in public places and even the police station is uncontrolled, and the police are required to follow Protect the passive situation of its safety and reduce the law enforcement safety risk of the police.
The reporter noticed in the sobering treatment room of the First People's Hospital of Qujing City that the sobering room was constructed in accordance with the standards set by the case handling area of the public security organs. The room was equipped with equipment such as monitoring without dead ends, and the whole process of sobering was recorded; Necessary protective and health monitoring equipment such as sobering beds, restraint belts, heart rate monitors, and emergency call bells; indoor walls, window sills, lockers and other facilities are all soft-packed to prevent sobering personnel from accidentally bumping and causing damage.
"Not all intoxicated persons have to be sent to the sobering room, but the police will send them to the sobering room for care and treatment if they encounter a drunken person on duty and cannot contact their family members," Cui Tonghai said. Cases of picking quarrels and provoking troubles, causing traffic accidents, beating up medical staff, and personal extremist violence caused by drunkenness have occurred from time to time, jeopardizing public safety and the personal safety of medical staff.
In the past, people who were drinking and causing trouble were generally brought to the case handling area by the police for restraint. If the restrained person caused an accident due to heavy drinking, the police did not have professional first aid skills, which may lead to the personal safety risk of the restrained person, and the emotional distress. Out-of-control drunks are placed in general wards, which in turn will interfere with medical order and other patients.
Cui Tonghai believes that the establishment of the sobering room can not only allow the drunken people to get treatment at the first time, but also provide the police with a better and more efficient law enforcement guarantee when dealing with such police situations, and can also reduce the police law enforcement risk and better maintain the medical order. .
Cui Tonghai said that the sobering room set up in the First People's Hospital of Qujing City was carried out as the first pilot work in Qilin District. In the next step, on the basis of the good results obtained in the pilot, the Qilin Public Security Bureau will actively explore and further promote the linkage between police and doctors. Through the mechanism, sobering rooms have been set up successively in some hospitals in Qilin City and in health centers in Ciying Town, Dongshan Town, Yuezhou Town and other places in Qilin District.
In addition, the Qujing public security organ carried out police-civilian cooperation to deal with "drinking troubles".
For bars, KTVs, barbecue stalls and other industry places where alcohol-related police cases are frequent, the owners are regularly called to hold alcohol-related police information briefings in their jurisdictions, and a notification letter is sent to places with frequent police cases. On the basis of mobilizing the owners to install monitoring, it is emphasized that Give full play to the main function of the main business operator, take measures such as special training and one-click alarm, and actively cooperate with the public security organs to jointly protect their "safe store".
