Thoughts on how to strengthen the ideological and political work of the public security team in the new era?

In the process of market economy development, the social environment has undergone complex and profound changes. The diversification of economic components and economic interests, social lifestyles, social organization forms, employment positions and employment methods have brought great changes to ideological and political issues. Work has brought about many new situations and new problems, making ideological and political work more difficult. How to strengthen and improve the ideological and political work of public security in the new era and ensure the smooth completion of various public security tasks has become an important topic that urgently needs to be explored. To this end, we will now briefly discuss the problems and countermeasures existing in the specific work of the ideological and political work of the public security team.

1. Problems faced by current ideological and political work.

(1) Insufficient understanding of ideological and political work.

At present, some units do not pay attention to ideological and political work. They believe that under the conditions of market economy, ideological and political work is outdated, ideological and political work is "virtual", and they are engaging in formalism and doing imaginary things. It is better to do something practical and simplify and make ideological and political work one-sided. In fact, ideological and political work is not simply preaching, it is not just sitting down and talking. It has very rich connotations and has unparalleled advantages in other work. This cannot be questioned at all. To say that ideological and political work is fictitious is actually to allow some people to artificially falsify, distort, and formalize it. The specific manifestation is that a small number of leaders blindly pursue high targets, engage in fake, big, and empty policies, replace ideological and political work with material interests, and expand the effect of material incentives. This results in some police officers not doing things without giving benefits, and doing things indiscriminately if they are given benefits, and everything turns to "money". "Look, excessive pursuit of material interests, increasing material desires, lack of dedication and perseverance, lack of ideals, beliefs and pursuits, short-sightedness, lack of ambition, weak sense of progress, boring thinking, and lack of stamina are exactly what It is a concrete manifestation of the weakness of our ideological and political work and the consequence of some leaders not paying attention to ideological and political work. Therefore, we must have a clear understanding and fully realize that ideological and political work can only be strengthened but not weakened. It is very dangerous to one-sidedly misinterpret the advantages and effects of ideological and political work.

(2) The ideological and political construction of the public security team and the construction of public security business have not yet formed a real synergy.

In recent years, public security organs have attached great importance to ideological and political work, clarified the guiding ideology of grasping the team and ensuring tasks, and adopted a series of measures to strengthen ideological and political work and implement the team. For example: "Democratic evaluation", "Stressing civilization", "Establishing new trends", "Concentrated education and rectification", "Creating people's satisfaction", "Twelve Articles of the Ministry of Public Security", "Three Represents" education, etc. There are themes every year activities, and have achieved certain results. However, it should be noted that there are still some problems in the "second-hand grasping and second-hand hard work" of a few departments, with more forms and less content, more business work assigned, less team building work, and too much talk in meetings. Some people believe that "business work is a hard task, and political work is a soft task", "ideological and political work is difficult to quantify, and it is difficult to produce benefits in the short term", and there is a tendency to "cry for a while when there is a problem in the team" , and then relax for a while”, the phenomenon of “it is important to talk, secondary to doing, and unnecessary when busy”.

(3) Political cadres have simple methods of doing ideological and political work.

In the process of exchange between the old and new systems, there are indeed difficulties in doing a good job in public security work and various specific problems. The thoughts of public security police also show contradictory, complex, and varied characteristics, which require strong ideological and political policies. and propaganda work. However, the current ideological and political work is still relatively weak and incompatible. First, political and ideological education has not yet formed a new approach, and ideological and political work is content with content. Uploading and issuing orders, reading reports, memorizing articles, holding meetings, and speaking in clichés cannot penetrate deeply into the hearts of police officers. Secondly, some political cadres do not fully understand the role of ideological and political work as a lifeline, and believe that the market economy mainly relies on economic leverage and puts politics into practice. Ideological work is regarded as something that can be done or not, which makes it lose the status of gathering vigilance and the position to carry out work.

Third, leaders and departments do have the fear of difficulty that political and ideological work is now more difficult than ever before. They always feel that business work is refreshing and the results are obvious. Solving one thing is one thing and there are no worries. However, they lack confidence in doing a good job in ideological and political work. They are not even willing to grasp the methods, and when they encounter problems and look for the causes, they all say that the ideological and political work is not in place. The existence of these objective problems makes political and ideological work lag behind and lack vitality.

(4) The ideological and political work is not very targeted.

This is mainly manifested in: First, the attitude is dishonest and disgusting. Ideological and political work must be people-oriented, be kind to others, respect people, care for people, and convince people with reason. The word "sincerity" can be said to be the essence of ideological and political work methods. It can even be said that as long as the attitude of the subject is sincere, it can often make up for the shortcomings in methods. many shortcomings and mistakes. If the main body of ideological and political work does not hold this attitude, but is insincere, insincere, greets the other party untruthfully, attends to errands, lays ambushes, sets traps, circles around, and is submissive, then doing ideological work with such an attitude will inevitably lead to failure. It will arouse the disgust of the other party, and the object will feel like being deceived and played with. The distance between the subject and the object's soul will inevitably become farther and farther. Even the extravagant things you say can only be self-defeating. Second, the situation is inaccurate and the article is not on topic. Doing ideological and political work must be targeted in order to be effective. If the subject of the work does not look at the specific situation of the work object and is indifferent, does not care about its pain and suffering, talks nonsense, has no context, the article is not on the topic, the questions and answers are nonsensical, or even the opposite, "put a fever on an electric mattress." As a result, the object will doubt the sincerity of your work. If it produces distrust, suspicion, or even disgust towards you, the results of ideological and political work will not be positive. Third, the timing is inappropriate and adds fuel to the fire. There is a timing issue in doing ideological and political work. If you grasp the timing and make sufficient preparations in advance, the effect will be good. On the contrary, not only will the effect not be good, but it will even have negative effects. If the other person is in financial distress, you ask him to donate; if the other person is angry, you talk about how to have fun; if the other person is afraid of illness, you talk about treating death correctly; if the other person has real difficulties, you only talk in general terms; if the other person needs to calm down, you don't. Adding fuel to the fire; the other party should correct their mistakes, but you encourage and support them. If the timing is wrong and you add fuel to the fire, it will inevitably have extremely negative effects. The fourth is to suppress but not neglect, and conflicts intensify. An important principle of ideological and political work is to guide thoughts, resolve conflicts, and persuade and educate. If you deviate from it, use force to suppress others, and be arrogant, the other party will not understand for a while, say a few wrong words, and do the wrong things, and then go to the line. It is one of the taboos in ideological and political work to arrest debaters, beat them with sticks, and often ask others to kill them. The result will inevitably be dissatisfaction and intensification of conflicts. Not only will the original ideological problems not be solved, but they will New ideological problems and contradictions arise.

2. Countermeasures for doing a good job in ideological and political work

No matter what the situation is, strengthening ideological and political work and grasping team building are always the "lifelines" of public security work. Especially in the period of reform of the market economy, society has shown a diversified pattern and is facing a complex international situation, which makes the construction of our public security work force face unprecedented challenges. The situation and tasks tell us that strengthening ideological and political work and increasing team education is a major and urgent issue.

(1) Correct the position and handle the five relationships related to ideological and political work. In building the public security team, we must first place the position of ideological and political work in the right place. Leaders and political cadres at all levels must deeply understand the importance of current ideological and political work. Doing a good job in ideological and political work can effectively promote our business work. To raise awareness and position ourselves correctly, we must handle the following four relationships related to ideological and political work.

First, correctly handle the relationship between carrying forward tradition and innovation. With the development of society, some new problems and new situations are constantly emerging, which will inevitably have a certain impact on the ideology and actions of the police. Ideological and political work cannot always copy old models, but must correctly handle the relationship between tradition and innovation. While inheriting the fine traditions of our party, we must strengthen the metabolism of ideological concepts and adapt our working methods to the changes of the times.

Efforts should be made to achieve the transformation from "preaching" to "guidance", from "calling" to "motivation", and from "I'll call you through" to "participation and interaction", so that ideological and political work will be more in line with the times. essence and trends.

The second is to correctly handle the relationship between political police building and professional police building. The connotation and extension of political police building are scientific and extensive. Political police building is to lay a solid foundation for the outlook on life and values, correct the things that people take for granted in their minds, and ensure that they have a firm political stance, clear mind, professional proficiency, and work style. Excellent, fair enforcement. Business training means becoming familiar with work business procedures and becoming an expert in actual work. The two are complementary to each other and are systematic and complete. Only by properly handling the relationship between political police building and professional police building can we effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of the police to create a new situation in public security work.

The third is to correctly handle the relationship between ideological education and system management. In team education, we must be gentle and follow-up, with a wide range of educational forms, concentrated content, and diverse activities. Only in this way can the educational effect be achieved. The management of the team must be strict and practical. Therefore, management must be combined with education to form an all-round management mechanism that is consistent from top to bottom and combines internal and external aspects. Rules and systems must be established to transition from people managing people to systems managing people. Only by adhering to management in education and education in management can long-term results be achieved.

The fourth is to correctly handle the relationship between strict police management and preferential treatment of police officers. Policing must be strict, but at the same time, we must also implement strictness with love, care about the police, understand the difficulties of the police, and actively do practical things by giving preferential treatment to the police and handle urgent matters that the police need to solve. We must give priority to politics, work, life, education and training, and welfare benefits, and especially pay more attention to developing police intelligence, mobilizing police potential, and improving overall quality. Only by handling the relationship between strictness and priority can the incentive mechanism be truly brought into play. utility.

(2) Firmly establish the idea of ??"second-hand grasping and second-hand grasping must be tough".

Nowadays, some comrades and even leading cadres think that when they talk about ideological and political work and political police building, they think it is political preaching, which is empty talk about big principles, and they are neither able nor willing to do ideological and political work. In fact, it is not the case. First-class public security services come from first-class public security teams. People are the first factor. Politically speaking, police officers only require learning, politics, and integrity, laying a solid foundation for their outlook on life and values, and correcting the taken-for-granted ideas formed in their minds. Only by ensuring a firm political stance, clear mind, professional proficiency, good work style, and impartial law enforcement can the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of the police be fully unleashed, and the fundamental of doing public security work in a people-oriented manner be grasped. Public security team building and business building are complementary, interdependent, and interactive. They are systematic and complete, and are two important factors that are indispensable for completing various tasks. Therefore, we must resolve the relationship between the team and the business. In the arrangement of political and ideological work, it should be arranged, inspected and emphasized at the same time as business work. When checking the progress of work, we should not only check the progress and completion of business work, but also check the work attitude and work discipline, and insist on focusing on both our own business and team building. In this way, department leaders are prompted to focus on using ideological and political work methods to promote and ensure the completion of business work, and it also encourages ideological and political workers to improve the spiritual realm of the police. We should pay attention to selecting cadres with "high awareness, high starting point, high realm, and obvious results" as models for publicity. At the same time, ideological and political work must also be included in the appointment and assessment system for leading cadres. Only by properly handling the relationship between the team and the business and effectively mobilizing the enthusiasm of the police can we provide reliable services and guarantees for maintaining and consolidating the results of the reform, ensuring long-term peace and stability of the country, and ensuring that the people live and work in peace and contentment.

(3) Learn methods and be good at inducement.

Ideological and political work is a complete and systematic scientific system, which includes scientific methods. Mastering the scientific methods of ideological and political work is one of the important means to prevent and eliminate the negative effects of ideological and political work, so it must be given full attention and conscious use. Different methods of ideological and political work can produce different effects. It can play an important role in uniting police officers and mobilizing their enthusiasm and work creativity.

Through heart-to-heart education, it can provide guidance; through competition, it can produce an enterprising spirit; by caring for people and solving practical problems, it can give full play to work potential; by establishing advanced models, it can provide incentives; through the example of leaders, it can produce charisma; Through institutional constraints, people's behavior can be regulated, etc.; under the premise of adhering to guidance, different correct methods are adopted according to people and situations, which will activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, soothe the liver and regulate qi, stimulate fighting spirit, invigorate the spirit, and achieve better results. Effect. In this way, the effectiveness of ideological and political work can be better exerted, and the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the team can be more effectively enhanced. Through fruitful ideological and political work, we can achieve the goals of building a good team, establishing a good image, and fulfilling missions, and build the entire team into a team that reassures the party and satisfies the people. Under the new situation, ideological and political work must be based on the premise of "respecting people, understanding people, inspiring people, and caring for people", focusing on "nourishing and penetrating", and striving to achieve the transformation from "indoctrination" to "guidance" and "calling". ” changes to “motivational” style, “discipline style” changes to “emotional style”, and “afterthought style” changes to “timely rainy style”. We should start from solving the ideological problems of the police, carry out regular ideological education, devote more care and love to the grassroots units and the police, strive to solve the practical problems and difficulties of the grassroots police in their thinking, work and life, eliminate and resolve the problems in the hearts of the police Accumulate grudges, gather vigilance, boost morale, and improve combat effectiveness. It is necessary to take various forms to strengthen the police's awareness of purpose and professional ideals, professional ethics, and professional discipline education, strive to enhance the persuasiveness, charisma, and effectiveness of ideological and political work, guide the police to firmly establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life, and values, and enhance The police's overall awareness, political awareness, awareness of worries, awareness of the masses and awareness of the rule of law have inspired the police to have the courage to hone themselves in difficult environments, forge a strong revolutionary will and heroic dedication, and not be passive or shrinking in the face of difficulties. Work hard and make achievements. At the same time, we must effectively strengthen ideological and political work from the perspective of ensuring that the lifeline of public security work keeps pace with the times and continues to innovate. This will maximize the enthusiasm and creativity of the police.

(4) Strengthen the construction of political workers and find the correct carrier as a breakthrough for ideological and political work.

There are still many inadequacies in the current ideological and political work methods and means. They are not pertinent, effective, and proactive, and they lack attraction, persuasion, and charisma. To a certain extent, this affects and restrict the development of ideological and political work. Therefore, we must seek methods and means suitable for strengthening the ideological and political work of public security under the new situation, and continue to explore and innovate to achieve new breakthroughs in ideological and political work. The first thing is to strengthen the construction of the political work team. Political work cadres are the main force of ideological and political work, and the political work department is the functional department that strengthens team building. The quality of the political cadres and how well they play their role will be related to the entire ideological and political work. Therefore, strengthening the construction of the political work team is required by duty and is also necessary for the current status of the team. We can do a good job in building the political work team from the following aspects. First, political cadres should strengthen their own learning. As the saying goes: "To make iron, you must first make yourself strong." By learning theory and business well, you can make your words to the point and work on the key points, so as to prevent "drowsiness and make others enlightened." The second is to hold a seminar for political cadres to exchange ideas on team building in one stage and explore new ways of team building in the new era, so as to achieve the purpose of extensive exchanges, promotion of improvement, and accumulation of experience. The third is to strengthen the standardization of political work and improve the operating mechanism of ideological and political work. Clearly define the scope, tasks, responsibilities and methods of ideological and political work. Develop work assessment standards and conduct quantitative assessments. Through the assessment, it was found that political cadres with outstanding achievements in ideological and political work should be rewarded and reused for those cadres who are good at ideological and political work. On the contrary, they should criticize and change positions, so as to enhance the sense of responsibility and worry of political cadres, not only put pressure on themselves, but also see a bright future, and avoid the "love to plant flowers, not to pick the thorns" and "love to plant flowers" and "love to plant flowers, not to pick the thorns" that appear in the work of individual political cadres. "Stepping on the rind of the watermelon" is an act of inaction.

Secondly, we must firmly grasp the effective carriers of activities: for example, we have carried out the "Three Education" activities in the past few years, organically combining ideological construction and organizational construction, basing ourselves on the current situation, taking a long-term perspective, and treating both the symptoms and root causes, which has injected new vitality into ideological and political work. and vitality; another example is the launch of the “Three Police Activities” last year. That is: "Inform the police, relieve the police's worries, and warm the hearts of the police. Ideological and political work must be combined with solving the practical problems of the police. Ideological and political work seems pale and ineffective if it is based on empty preaching. Therefore, what are the police thinking about? What is needed? ? What difficulties are they facing? Conduct investigation and research on the three issues, listen to the voices of the police, care about the sufferings of the police, and focus the ideological and political work on solving practical problems and doing practical things for the police, thereby motivating the police to do their jobs better. Serve the public security work. Continuously improve the appeal and penetration of ideological and political work in the new era.
