Convenient denouncing of crimes with QR codes
On June 8, Lieutenant Do Van Hung - Team Leader of Mass Mobilization of Tuy Duc Border Guard Station said that the unit has sent working groups to each village and hamlet to coordinate with grassroots security forces and self-management groups to guide people to scan QR codes to send crime reports.
Up to now, in many villages and hamlets in Tuy Duc commune, posters printed with QR codes with the words "Anonymous email box" have become familiar.
With just a few operations on a smartphone, people can send information reflecting illegal acts to Tuy Duc Border Guard Station without having to report directly.
According to Lieutenant Do Van Hung, the border area is large, the population is dispersed, and travel conditions are difficult, so officers and soldiers must directly guide people; especially people in remote and isolated areas and the elderly, on how to use QR codes to send information.
In addition, the unit also integrates propaganda on the Vietnam Border Guard Law, the National Border Law, regulations on entry and exit, drug prevention and combat, and methods of activities of criminals on the border line.
Mr. Dieu Van, in Bu Boong hamlet, Tuy Duc commune, said that in the past, many people were reluctant to report because of the distance or worrying about revealing their identities.
Now, just a phone with internet connection can send information, so people are very agreeing and supporting.
Senior Lieutenant Colonel Dinh Hai Tinh - Commander of Tuy Duc Border Guard Station said that many people discovered illegal acts but were afraid of affecting relationships in the community, so they did not dare to report them.
The anonymous email box helps people feel more secure when providing information to functional agencies.
Contributing to maintaining security in border areas
After a period of implementation, the model has brought practical efficiency in ensuring security and order in border areas.
According to statistics from Tuy Duc Border Guard Station, the unit has received 96 reports related to security and order, border protection management and law violations.
All information is verified, processed or coordinated with functional forces to resolve promptly.
Mr. Dieu Tieng, in Bu N'Drung hamlet (Tuy Duc commune) said that the model has helped people be bolder in providing information to functional forces.
Many people who knew about the incident before were afraid of retaliation and did not dare to report it. Now that their identities are kept confidential, people are more reassured, and everyone wants to contribute to keeping peace for the village and hamlet," Mr. Tieng shared.
The highlight of the model is ensuring anonymity for information providers. All notifications are kept absolutely secret, without saving names, phone numbers or tracking senders.
Thereby helping people feel secure in coordinating with functional forces in the fight against crime.
From the initial effectiveness at Tuy Duc Border Guard Station, the Border Guard of Lam Dong province is continuing to replicate the model on border routes.
QR codes are arranged in many public places such as markets, schools, and cultural houses to create favorable conditions for people to reflect on the security and order situation.
Colonel Pham Thanh Hien - Head of the Political Department of the Border Guard of Lam Dong province assessed: "Anonymous email box" is a model suitable for the reality of border areas in the digital transformation era.
The model not only helps functional forces promptly grasp the local situation but also strengthens the connection between the Border Guard and the people.
Thereby, contributing to building a solid people's heart posture at the border of the Fatherland.
