Are the defense team members auxiliary police?
The defense team members are not auxiliary police. The duty of the defense team members is to educate the masses to abide by the law and social morality, to be responsible for patrol duty within their respective jurisdictions, to implement preventive measures, to maintain public order, to round up and intercept criminal suspects and hand them over to public security organs, and to stop and crack down on all kinds of illegal crimes and violations of public security management within their respective jurisdictions. The scope of work of the auxiliary police includes assisting the police in the management of public security work within their jurisdiction. When illegal and criminal acts are discovered, criminal suspects should be stopped in time and handed over to public security organs for handling. After encountering an unexpected case, it is necessary to protect the scene in time, notify the public security organs in time, assist the police to participate in the rescue work, assist the public security organs to provide services for those who ask for help, publicize the knowledge of public security prevention to the community, raise their awareness of self-prevention, and discover hidden dangers affecting community stability and public order in time.
