Spring Festival is an occasion for family reunion. To ensure safe and orderly city operation, police officers and volunteers in Hongkou District stuck to their posts during the Spring Festival holidays to ensure the safety of the city and citizens.
No one set firecrackers in areas where firecrackers and fireworks are banned. Hongkou Branch of Shanghai Police dispatched 4,500 police officers to patrol on the streets during the Spring Festival holidays. At night of the Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve and the fourth day of the lunar year, around 2,000 police officers were patrolling on the streets, in communities, temples and places with high pedestrian flow to ensure the safety of citizens.
Community police officers stuck to their posts during the Spring Festival holidays. To Shen Lin, a police officer in Beijiao Neighborhood Committee, this is the third year for him to spend the Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve in his office. But different from previous years, this year, he has got a “secret weapon”: police office on WeChat. This is a WeChat account with the attendance of community police officers, neighborhood committee cadres, community safety volunteers, as well as staffs, maintenance workers and plumbers of the property management company. At noon on the Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve, Shen Lin received a message on WeChat, reporting water leakage on a broken valve of fire hydrant in the community. He rushed to the scene of water leakage as fast as he can, and informed neighborhood committee cadres and maintenance workers at the same time. Thanks to the police office on WeChat, the problem of water leakage was solved quickly. Less than 30 minutes later, Shen received another message on WeChat, saying that a waste container was giving out smoke. He immediately sent this message to all members in the WeChat group, and community volunteers rushed to the scene and extinguished the fire.
Community safety volunteers wearing orange waistcoat also contributed to ensure the safety of community. This year, some residents who had moved to other communities due to an old house renovation project returned to the community that they lived before, and patrolled in the community at the night of the New Year’s Eve to ensure resident’s safety. “On the New Year’s Eve last year, I was still here washing vegetables and cooking and having New Year’s Eve dinner with my neighbors. I miss my old neighbors so much, because I’ve been living with them for so many years. I feel happy to patrol with my old neighbors again in the community,” said a resident from the No. 59 community.
Sub-districts in Hongkou District also dispatched personnel to ensure the safety of community. In North Sichuan Community, more than 600 government functionaries, neighborhood committee cadres, comprehensive governance assistants, community security guards, Party members, residents and volunteers organized a patrolling team, joining hands with police officers and firefighters, to patrol in 141 safety management units in cold, rainy and snowy days to ensure residents have a safe and happy Spring Festival. North Bund Sub-district also dispatched government functionaries, volunteers in enterprises and public institutions to patrol in the community. There are 67 regular patrolling posts in the sub-district, covering more than 120 residential communities and 6 patrolling routes, and more than 700 volunteers were patrolling at the same time. Thanks to the efforts made by various parties, citizens have had a safe and joyful Spring Festival.
