Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 354 Patrol Brigade Established

On the way back, Chen Shu drove while Xie Chi sat in the passenger seat, both still immersed in the excitement of what had just happened.

If this project, which is strongly supported by the neighborhood committee, still can't be implemented, they might as well go to the supermarket, buy a toilet, and bury their heads in it.

The modern police station and the incredibly cool patrol gear we see today are just examples of what happens when you pick a few clueless newbies, dress them up in SWAT uniforms, put them there, take a few photos, and then get a professional in the field to write a promotional article.

This is an achievement delivered right to your doorstep!

Xie Chi spoke highly of Yan Chenxi; if he weren't a bit reserved due to his age, he would have addressed her as a distinguished guest. After all, this young street director had effectively given their SWAT team a significant gift.

For those who were at the bottom of the class, this was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

Thinking of this, Xie Chi secretly glanced at Chen Shu, who was holding the steering wheel. This deputy captain who came from the police station might be the real benefactor of their special police brigade.

The atmosphere in the car was quite pleasant throughout the journey. Their achievements during the period when Captain Li Da was on sick leave were truly remarkable.

As the car passed the branch office compound, Xie Chi suddenly realized something and said, "Chen Shu, you still need to go to the bureau and talk to the leaders about this. After all, this patrol team is under the name of our special police brigade. On the surface, we are in charge of the people and things, but in reality, we are working for the street while being paid by the branch office."

After a moment's thought, Chen Shu understood Xie Chi's meaning.

The street committee spent money and effort to set up the luxurious equipment and modern base. It's only natural that they would ask the patrol team to help them out if the street committee encounters any difficult problems in the future.

If something goes wrong, they'll be the ones to suffer the consequences.

Xie Chi's words are insightful.

Chen Shu turned the steering wheel, made a U-turn, and entered the compound of the Zhengming District Public Security Bureau.

Branch Office, Deputy Director's Office
The Special Police Brigade wasn't actually under the jurisdiction of Director Zhang Xuming, but when he saw Chen Shu, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, leading Xie Chi into the lobby downstairs, he couldn't help but call the two of them into his office.

After all, he's the executive director, so he can be a bit more capricious.

"Oh, the street office contacted you on their own initiative? Why didn't they contact our branch or the city bureau for such a good thing? Hmm, didn't they even contact the special police detachment?" After listening to Xie Chi's work report, Zhang Xuming looked at Chen Shu and asked.

Xie Chi is over fifty years old and was just waiting to retire; he would never get involved in other people's business. Chen Shu must have been the one who started this patrol team.

These young people are full of energy; they never stop moving around!

Although Xie Chi and Chen Shu were both deputy section chiefs, Xie Chi's seniority was undeniable, so ever since he entered the office, Chen Shu kept quiet and let Xie Chi show off in front of the leaders.

He remained quietly to one side, eyes closed and mind at peace.

When Director Zhang asked him, Chen Shu repeated what he had explained to Xie Chi earlier: "When I was a grid police chief at Zhongshan Police Station, I had the idea of ​​jointly establishing a patrol team with the grid chief at the time."

"Later, I was transferred to the special police brigade, and she was transferred to the street director. We changed our units, but we both thought it was a good idea and wanted to get it done."

Zhang Xuming chuckled and tapped the table: "Stop with the pleasantries, tell the truth."

If it were any other time, when a high-ranking leader asked such a question, Chen Shu would probably just use the same old platitudes to brush it off.

But Zhang Xuming was someone Zeng Hong had visited before the New Year, so he was considered one of their own. Chen Shu pondered for a moment and replied truthfully, "Two points. First, the unit's performance is too poor, which I cannot accept; second, the brigade has too few people, and I would like to add more."

The special police brigade has four squadrons, with three brigade leaders, one internal affairs officer, and eight squadron police officers; each squadron has eight auxiliary police officers, for a total of thirty-two people across the four squadrons.

Finally, there were two gatekeepers who weren't guarding the house.

For Zhengming District, with a total population of over one million, this number of special police officers is extremely small. Even if something major were to happen, they would not be able to form any significant combat capability.

If you encounter any problems, you should contact the local police station or report to the special police detachment.

Zhang Xuming thought for about ten minutes, picked up his teacup to moisten his throat, and finally spoke: "This is a good thing. If we do it well, it will not only be an achievement for your special police brigade, but also for our Zhengming branch. Since we are going to get things done and achieve results, then we must do it well and work our hardest."

"Here's what we'll do. Our branch office isn't as wealthy as the subdistrict office, but we can't afford to lose face. For this setup, we'll allocate a budget of 500,000 yuan to you. Remember, you must make sure it's done perfectly!"

"Yes!"

Chen Shu's eyes lit up, and he stood at attention and saluted in one smooth motion.

Everyone understands the principle that money makes things easier. Now that the branch office is backing him up, he can act more freely and make the most of his abilities.

Special Police Unit, Compound.

More than forty neatly dressed patrol members suddenly appeared in the compound, marching in formation under the command of Xu Mingliang, the captain of the first squadron. Their marching, whether in step, goose-step, or running, was quite impressive, and their turns in all four directions were precise and uniform.

Even the chants of "one, two, three, four" were shouted loudly, attracting a crowd of onlookers to the entrance of the building. Police officers on the office building also leaned out of the windows, peering down at the scene.

Chen Shu, who was watching from a distance, smiled and said to Yan Chenxi, "Director Yan, are these guys alright? They've only been practicing for half a month, but they look pretty good."

Yan Chenxi was very satisfied and happy. Although she had her own selfish reasons for organizing this project, seeing how quickly and well things were progressing made her genuinely satisfied.

Seeing Chen Shu smiling broadly beside her, she seized the opportunity to make a small request: "Brother Shu, given our relationship, you don't need to call me 'Director Yan' anymore. It sounds so old. Just call me Chen Xi when we're not around."

Chen Shu smiled and nodded, then led Yan Chenxi to the front of the line and shook hands with each of the newly formed team members to welcome them.

Asking where you're from, how your work life is, and whether you have a girlfriend are all common questions, but they're easy ways to build rapport.

The leaders were approachable and down-to-earth, which made the team members feel a sense of belonging to their new unit.

Then, he took the specially customized patrol team flag from the office clerk Zou Qing and solemnly handed it to Xu Mingliang, who was standing at the head of the team.

Red background with white lettering, featuring the word "patrol" above.

The Yangyi Street Security Patrol Brigade was officially established in the compound of the Zhengming District Special Police Brigade. The first brigade captain was concurrently held by Xu Mingliang, the captain of the first squadron of the Special Police Brigade, who was also responsible for the daily management work.

Chen Shu stood at the front, watching all of this with satisfaction.
