Chapter 451 Let's Calculate a Number
Leaders like Liu Baoquan are busy every day.

The fact that he took the time to personally travel to Lianjiang to meet Shen Xin proves how much he values ​​this matter.

Those below will naturally carry out his ideas accordingly.

All he needs to do is look at the results.

So Liu Baoquan stayed for about half an hour before leaving in a hurry.

He left first, but Lu Chunze stayed a little longer.

Without exchanging many pleasantries, he went straight to asking Shen Xin what he needed.

Let's put aside the police birds for now and start with the police dogs.

Shen Xin had already prepared his answer in his mind, and he held up one finger and said, "The training ground doesn't necessarily need a lot of high-standard kennels, but the key is that it has to be big enough to allow for movement."

To be honest, Tian Kui's living conditions at the Municipal Bureau are more comfortable than most people's.

"Then there's the dog. Drug-sniffing dogs are usually just a few breeds: German Shepherd, Labrador, Golden Retriever, Springer Spaniel, but I need an adult dog."

"Buying directly from the market is actually quite troublesome. Ordinary dealers, especially professional kennels that do targeted breeding, will charge very high prices."

"In addition, they don't keep adult dogs, so it's difficult to buy a large number of adult dogs from them."

"Private individuals do have a large number of adult dogs, but those are all their pet dogs, and they are reluctant to sell them."

"Therefore, if feasible, stray dogs are still a good option."

Although Liu Baoquan said that money was not a problem, you can easily spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a dog. One or two dogs are fine, but what about hundreds?

Liu Baoquan might have to think twice about the amount involved, which could amount to hundreds of millions or even tens of millions.

Moreover, in Shen Xin's view, a purebred dog worth tens of thousands of yuan, with supposedly excellent bloodlines, is actually no different from a local dog that costs fifty yuan.

The key indicators are still those two: affinity and obedience.

Lu Chunze nodded repeatedly and asked if there was any more.

Shen Xin nodded and said, "There's another important thing, which is that you need to do some calculations and estimates on your end to determine exactly how many drug-sniffing dogs you need."

Yunnan has 8 prefecture-level cities and 7 autonomous prefectures.

The border is the front line of the fight against drugs, but the other cities behind it are not necessarily safe.

In cities like Kunming, the drug situation remains severe, as it is a crucial transit point for drugs entering the country.

Since we are trying to build this anti-drug network, it should cover the entire southern Yunnan province.

All 15 cities and 127 counties must be included.

There are also border crossings of all sizes, checkpoints like Shukang, mobile checkpoints, and patrol units in remote mountainous areas.

We also need to consider the margin.

At checkpoints like Shukang, although they now have two police dogs, they are still somewhat stretched thin.

There should be at least three, capable of rotating shifts.

The checkpoints operate around the clock, but police dogs aren't made of iron; they need rest after working long hours.

Therefore, the final statistical figures must have a margin of error.

Lu Chunze nodded repeatedly, agreeing, "That's right, this is the first step. We need to understand the needs first, then consider how to proceed."

"However, Shen Xin, according to your plan, this number will not be small."

His eyes were deep as he stared intently at Shen Xin.

Shen Xin's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood the meaning behind Lu Chunze's look.

First of all, the numbers won't be small, reminding myself that this is a very difficult task.

Second.

One police dog is just enough for a police station, two police dogs are just right.

The three lines can rotate shifts and operate smoothly.

So the question is, which standard should they use for statistical calculations?
Instead of looking at them, we should look at Shen Xin.

Let's see how capable Shen Xin is, how determined he is, and how many police dogs he can train.

So Lu Chunze's words were actually meant to get Shen Xin's opinion before they could decide how to compile the statistics.

After a moment's thought, Shen Xin said, "President Lu, to use an internet phrase, when you're poor, you use tactical infiltration; when you're rich, you use overwhelming firepower. Since we've decided to do this, let's do it to the highest standard."

We can't provide one for everyone, but we have enough.

Let every drug dealer and every addict tremble in fear amidst the torrent of police dogs.

Lu Chunze stared at Shen Xin, and after confirming that Shen Xin was not joking, he nodded vigorously.

The next day, Lu Chunze actually gave Shen Xin a number.

It is estimated that 2400 will be needed.

When Shen Xin saw this number, he was also taken aback.

I have a feeling that I might have made a boast.

This is not 24, nor 240, it is a full 2400.

Ding Yuwei nudged Shen Xin lightly with her foot under the conference table, giving him a look that said, "Are you crazy?"

Since Lu Chunze wasn't there, Wan Xiaoyang stayed two extra days to coordinate with Shen Xin on this matter. Seeing Shen Xin fall silent after opening the folder, Wan Xiaoyang couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

When Wan Xiaoyang first saw this number, he was quite shocked.

It's important to know that in the entire southern Yunnan region, across 15 cities and over 100 counties, there are only 257 active drug-sniffing dogs.

Accurate to the single digit.

With this configuration, it already has the most in the country.

The number 2400 is equivalent to a tenfold increase over the existing number of drug-sniffing dogs.

Another statistic is that there are only about 1,800 active drug-sniffing dogs in more than 30 provinces across the country.

The figure given by Lu Chunze is equivalent to doubling the number of drug-sniffing dogs nationwide.

"Shen Xin, take a quick look first," Wan Xiaoyang said.

Shen Xin composed himself and turned the page.

They actually did the statistics and calculations.

For example, there are 110 border towns in southern Yunnan, which means there are 110 border police stations. Consider assigning 5 drug-sniffing dogs to each of these border police stations.

Every border police station has the task of patrolling the border. If we estimate based on two groups, that would require two patrols.

Then, three patrols are used daily to maintain strict vigilance and conduct mobile patrols in the village.

That makes 550 entries.

There are 28 first-class ports, with 5 ports of entry each.

There are 50 border checkpoints like Shukang in the province, each equipped with 4 officers.

Three shifts, one spare, another 200.

With 1300 grassroots police stations across the province, excluding border areas, one line is allocated to each police station to achieve coverage of the grassroots level, resulting in another 1200 lines.

Then, the anti-drug squads of key cities in the province were sorted out. There were more than 20 such squads, and each squad was equipped with 5 teams, which added up to more than 100 teams.

There are also airports and high-speed rail stations, adding another one or two hundred routes.

According to this calculation, to achieve Shen Xin's vision of covering the entire province completely, this number is indeed necessary.

but……

Shen Xin gasped, still feeling that the number was a bit exaggerated.

More than two thousand, enough to form two groups.

Under the table, Ding Yuwei secretly nudged Shen Xin again, giving him a look that said, "Don't agree to anything rashly."

She couldn't even imagine the workload of 2400 drug-sniffing dogs.

"Wan Ju".

Shen Xin opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

It would be too embarrassing to back down from such a boastful promise.

But this number is simply outrageous.

Wan Xiaoyang, who was on the other end of the line, guessed that Shen Xin would react this way and said with a smile, "Shen Xin, there is actually another way to calculate this number."

Seeing Shen Xin looking at him, he continued, "There are 1824 active police dogs nationwide, which is 2,400. If we deduct 1,800, that just doubles the total number of police dogs in the country."

"The extra 600 items are three times the number, taking into account the severe drug control situation in southern Yunnan."

"So this number wasn't just calculated by our department, but by the entire ministry."

"Do you get me?"

Wan Xiaoyang countered with a question.

Shen Xin was surprised: "The ministry has also inquired about this matter?"

Wan Xiaoyang said, "What do you think? You're fantasizing about a world without drugs. How can the ministry not get involved in something this big?"

Shen Xin suddenly realized, "That's true."

Wan Xiaoyang continued, "Director Cai's intention is the same as Director Liu's: to provide full support and convenience."

"However, everyone knows how difficult this is, so the leader's idea is to try it out first, for example, start with a small amount and see how it goes."

"Don't put too much pressure on you."

The above implies that Shen Xin may have developed some special method for training police dogs.

However, considering my limited personal energy, I will first conduct a pilot program, starting with a small sample, to give it a try.

If it works, we'll put more responsibility on Shen Xin.

Shen Xin nodded.

The problem is, even just a small fraction of that is four hundred.

"Director Wan, I understand what you've said. I'm willing to do this."

The difficulties will certainly be enormous, but if we succeed...

The ministry personally intervened; that must have been a tremendous achievement.
