Border inspection is the entry-exit border inspection agency of the People's Republic of China and the country. It mainly checks the passports, documents, visas, entry-exit registration cards of people entering and leaving the country, and the luggage and belongings carried by the people entering and leaving the country.
Port restricted area refers to a certain area demarcated at the entry-exit port in accordance with national laws and regulations based on the needs of entry-exit border inspection, custody, management, etc. It is where the border inspection agencies implement entry-exit management main place. Today's increasingly complex and ever-changing social situation has posed many new challenges to front-line border inspection agencies responsible for safeguarding national security and sovereignty. This requires us to change the previous supervision model and continuously study and explore the strengthening of port restrictions under the new situation. New ideas for regional management work to ensure smooth customs clearance and port safety and stability.
Current problems
Currently, Changzhou Border Inspection Station actively adapts to the needs of the informationization situation of port control, gives full play to the energy efficiency of the three-level comprehensive command platform, and fully implements "checkpoint monitoring, inspection and inspection" The four-in-one port control model includes "closed-circuit surveillance, police-enterprise linkage". Such a service model provides a more relaxed environment for economic construction and reform and opening up, facilitates the entry and exit of transportation vehicles and their employees, and improves the police efficiency of the station. Since the service mode has been activated for a short time, there are still several problems in actual work:
First, unclear understanding of the region restricts the depth of management. Some personnel often ignore the border inspection warning signs and enter the port restricted area through the port area gate. Through interrogation, it was found that most personnel do not have a clear concept of the port restricted area and only think that they have entered the port restricted area after boarding a foreign ship. In response to this situation, our officers and soldiers on duty mainly focus on education to help them clarify the concept of restricted port areas and strengthen their legal awareness. However, some people with illegal intentions are confused among the crowd, which can easily cause errors in the judgment of the officers on duty, which brings confusion and hidden dangers to our inspection and management.
The second is the overlapping of management functions, which restricts the status of law enforcement. At present, port inspection units such as border inspection, customs, inspection and quarantine, and maritime affairs inspect, supervise, and manage restricted port areas, entry and exit personnel, transportation vehicles, goods, luggage, etc., in accordance with their duties and regulations. This has objectively resulted in There are problems such as siled administration, overlapping businesses, unclear responsibilities, numerous management links, and complicated procedures. Border inspection stations do not play a prominent role in the management of restricted port areas, which affects the improvement of customs clearance efficiency and service levels to a certain extent.
Third, the bayonet management is loose, which restricts management efforts. At present, Changzhou General Terminal, Lu'anzhou Terminal and Kingboard Petrochemical Terminal have divided restricted areas for border inspection ports, and have set up relevant reminder signs of restricted port areas at prominent locations in the port area. However, due to the lag in the establishment of border inspection, most of the people and vehicles entering and exiting the restricted area of ??the port are now managed by the security department of the terminal company at the entrance of the terminal. Since the gate guards of the terminal are not directly managed by the border inspection agency and have no subordinate relationship, this has resulted in The supervision and management of security personnel by border inspection agencies cannot be carried out directly and effectively, which to a large extent has loopholes in poor management.
Fourth, the punishment is insufficient, weakening the purpose of deterrence. The current "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Exit and Entry Border Inspection" came into effect on September 1, 1995. The amount of penalties formulated based on the economic development conditions at that time was obviously too low. Those who violated regulations or boarded ships within the restricted port area The stipulated penalty amount is basically within the range of 500 yuan, which is generally only 50 yuan. According to the current economic development and personal income level of Changzhou City, the cost of violation is too low, the punishment is obviously insufficient, and the educational effect is insignificant. For some people who board the ship without a certificate, imposing a penalty of less than 500 yuan on them will not serve as a punishment and warning at all compared to the value return they can get after boarding the ship without a certificate.
Solutions to the problem
Strengthening the management of restricted port areas and further revitalizing the port management situation are of great significance to creating a good entry-exit environment.
First, we must strengthen the depth of publicity in restricted areas at ports and improve personnel’s “ownership” awareness. On the one hand, the "hard" publicity work has been intensified, and a series of publicity and notification facilities such as police public boards and bulletin boards have been set up at the entrance of the pier to inform people of the qualifications for entering restricted areas and the legal consequences for violating regulations, so that some people The excuses of "I didn't know it was a restricted area" or "I didn't know the outer wheels were not allowed" are not valid.
On the other hand, we should do a good job in "soft" publicity and education. If necessary, we can conduct centralized education and publicity for companies and units that often have employees entering and exiting restricted areas, so that employees can consciously abide by the law and better cooperate with border inspections, and report suspicious situations to the police in a timely manner. Border inspection agency report. At the same time, we must strengthen social publicity work, strengthen the publicity of border inspection laws and regulations and port management regulations at the social level through radio, television, newspapers and other media, and further win the public's cooperation, understanding and support for border inspection work.
Second, we must innovate the management model of restricted port areas and build a strong port safety barrier. Under the current situation where the police force is quite tight, we envision that we can employ restricted port area coordinators as checkpoint security personnel to assist in security and channel management around the restricted port areas, so as to better coordinate with monitoring and patrolling police work. . The border inspection station appoints, removes and directly supervises the coordinators, and unified management and division of labor. The security personnel are separated from the establishment of the factory and the port company, which is conducive to their full-time border inspection work, strict law enforcement, and improved prevention and crackdown on illegal immigration. Capacity for inbound activities.
Third, we must strengthen penalties in restricted areas at ports and ensure the combination of penalties and education. On the premise of clarifying the basis for law enforcement, standardizing law enforcement procedures, and unifying the identification and punishment standards for violations, penalties for violations must be intensified. It is reported that the "Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People's Republic of China (Draft for Review)" has significantly increased the amount of penalties and introduced provisions for both fines and detention. This law has stricter regulations on the management of restricted port areas, especially border inspection law enforcement. Issues such as subject status, regional delineation, and cooperation with local port management departments have clearer and clearer requirements. At the same time, administrative penalties should be imposed on those who violate border inspection laws. More emphasis should be placed on education to improve the legal concept of border inspection, so that citizens can consciously abide by and maintain border inspection laws, so that everyone in the restricted port area can abide by the law and supervise each other. A harmonious, safe and stable atmosphere.
Fourth, we must find a balance between management and service and establish a new image of border inspection in limited areas. It is necessary to closely integrate the management of restricted port areas with the improvement of service levels and the construction of "big customs clearance" and "model terminals" to continuously improve management and control, customs clearance efficiency and service capabilities, and continuously enhance law enforcement status and window image. First, we must be good at summarizing, publicizing and promoting successful practices and achievements in strengthening port restricted area management, so that local party committees and governments can fully realize the necessity of strengthening port restricted area management; second, we must be good at grasping the issues of customs clearance efficiency and customs clearance order. The focus of the two aspects is to find the right connection point when reporting on seeking support and strengthening border inspection services in restricted port areas, and closely integrate the construction of "Grand Customs Clearance" and "Model Terminal" to make a fuss and reflect the achievements; the third is to give full play to the troops With the advantages of strict management, strict discipline and quick action, it plays the main role in port emergencies, riot prevention, customs clearance, services and other aspects, reflecting its advantages, demonstrating its achievements and winning status.
