On October 16, during a press conference organized by the Liaoning Provincial Government Information Office, Pan Chunjie, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Public Security Department, shared insights into the ongoing safety initiatives in the region this year. According to Pan, the Liaoning police launched the “Safe Guard” campaign at the start of the year, focusing on a robust crackdown on significant illegal activities. From June 24 to September 30, the police integrated the “Summer Action” with the “Safe Guard” initiative. During this period, reports of criminal activity in Liaoning decreased by 2.14%, while the resolution rate for criminal cases increased by 17.33%, contributing to a continued sense of safety and stability in public order.
The press conference also highlighted that Liaoning has led investigations into 18 cases in response to three nationwide campaigns organized by the Ministry of Public Security. All 18 cases have now been successfully wrapped up. Significant achievements include the bust of illegal arms trading cases in Fushun and Dandong, the dismantling of a fraudulent invoice gang in Fushun, and the disruption of dangerous materials trafficking in Haicheng, Anshan. Additionally, the police tackled the “605 fast currency laundering” case in Jinzhou, achieving notable results.
To further combat organized crime, the Liaoning police have maintained a “zero tolerance” policy towards prevalent issues such as disturbances, fighting, coercive commerce, extortion, and intentional assault. They have focused on collecting intelligence on these crimes, enhancing analytical work, and targeting rural criminal groups like “village tyrants.” This comprehensive approach has led to the investigation of 69 organized crime cases, the arrest of 685 suspects, and the resolution of 609 cases, with assets related to these crimes amounting to nearly 4 billion yuan being seized, frozen, or confiscated.
Simultaneously, to address safety concerns related to hazardous materials, the Liaoning police have implemented significant measures through their “Sky Network” project and the “Zero Hidden Dangers” initiative. They have conducted thorough safety inspections in explosive-related sectors, resulting in three rounds of operations against illegal fireworks. This effort culminated in the detention of 708 individuals and the confiscation of 160,000 boxes of banned fireworks.
Looking ahead, Pan announced that the Liaoning police would continue to advance the “Safe Guard” initiative, emphasizing proactive engagement and enhanced service quality to contribute to the modernization efforts in Liaoning.
