[Keywords:] public security colleges and universities at the grass-roots infrastructure approach
The Ministry of Public Security regards 2006 as the year of infrastructure construction, which is a strategic plan to implement Scientific Outlook on Development, further deepen and expand the achievements of "big discussion", "big training" and "big visit" and promote the long-term development of public security work. Grasping the grass roots, laying a foundation and practicing basic skills are the inherent requirements of the position and role of public security grass-roots infrastructure in the whole public security work and team building, the new requirements and challenges put forward to adapt to the new situation and new tasks, and the objective need and inevitable choice to further strengthen and improve the public security grass-roots infrastructure work. As an organic part of public security organs, public security colleges play an irreplaceable role in improving the academic education of the people's police, implementing professional training and enriching police culture. Therefore, it is of great significance for public security colleges to actively participate in the "year of infrastructure construction" for comprehensively improving the quality of public security teams and promoting the sustainable development of public security education and training.
First, the basic meaning of "three basics" in public security colleges
The social attribute, business function and operation mode of public security colleges are quite different from those of public security organs. Therefore, the connotation and emphasis of the "three basics" construction in public security colleges are different from those in public security organs and public security grass-roots combat departments, and cannot be treated equally in the creation activities. The so-called grass-roots unit refers to the most grass-roots fighting entity that the public security organs fight against the enemy, protect the people, punish crimes and serve the masses. In public security colleges, grass-roots units refer to the grass-roots teams that train talents and carry out research, are the grass-roots working entities for management and provide service guarantee for teachers, students and employees. Grasping the grass roots means grasping the construction of departments, especially departments, consolidating the foundation of running schools and improving the function of educating people. The so-called foundation refers to the work that provides support and guarantee for public security work and the construction of public security team. The foundation of public security colleges refers to the work of providing support and guarantee for the normal operation of personnel training and subject research. Laying a solid foundation means laying a solid foundation of "hardware" and "software" to provide strong support and reliable guarantee for the construction and development of colleges and universities. The so-called basic skills refer to the basic knowledge, skills and physical qualities that the police should have, the basic skills that the police must have to be competent for their posts, perform their duties and complete their tasks, and the comprehensive reflection of their personal qualities. Basic skills are embodied in all aspects. Different levels, different departments and different police types have different requirements for basic skills. For the staff of public security colleges, basic skills refer to the basic knowledge, skills and physical quality that should be possessed in teaching, scientific research, management and logistics support. For college teachers, to practice basic skills hard is to achieve "three highs and four highs" through study and training, that is, "high morality, high ability to control the classroom, high level of theoretical innovation, many educational methods, many teaching skills, many practical experiences and many scientific research achievements"; For administrators, to practice basic skills hard means to achieve "three strong and four solid" through diligent study and hard work, that is, "strong ability to master principles and policies, strong awareness of serving teaching, strong comprehensive skills in implementing management, practical work style, practical service skills, practical measures and effective management". Only by clarifying the basic connotation of the "three basics" construction in public security colleges can we be targeted and distinctive in the creation activities.
Second, the importance and necessity of strengthening the basic construction of public security colleges.
Strengthening grass-roots infrastructure construction is an overall, strategic and fundamental major issue for public security organs throughout the country. As an important base for training high-quality public security professionals, it is of great significance for public security colleges to carry out grassroots infrastructure construction in a solid and effective manner. As far as our college is concerned, with the continuous expansion of the college scale, the progress of the basic work of education and teaching is relatively slow, generally lagging behind, and even affects the development pace of the college. The concrete manifestations are as follows: first, the overall quality of teachers can not meet the needs of education and teaching, and the discipline structure, echelon structure and knowledge structure of teachers are still not perfect; Second, there is still a big gap in the construction of teaching software, weak curriculum construction, insufficient reform of teaching content and teaching methods, and the level of teaching management needs to be further improved; Third, due to insufficient funds, the hardware conditions of teaching need to be further improved; Fourth, the standardization, institutionalization and scientific construction of various management work needs to be further strengthened. Looking at other brother colleges in China, most of them have the above problems, which, together with the innate factors such as low starting point, small scale, weak teachers, lack of teaching infrastructure, poor employment channels for students and poor school-running efficiency, have formed a "bottleneck" that restricts the development of public security colleges. A few colleges and universities are also facing the evaluation and acceptance of provincial and national education authorities. Whether it can pass the evaluation and acceptance smoothly is directly related to its own survival and development, and the only way to solve the above problems is to grasp the grassroots, lay a foundation and practice basic skills. Therefore, we should clearly realize the importance and necessity of strengthening infrastructure to promote the all-round construction and development of public security colleges, and carry out infrastructure in a deep and solid way to evaluate and promote construction, so that the "Infrastructure Year" activity will become a good opportunity to comprehensively promote the construction and development of public security colleges.
Third, ways to strengthen the basic construction of public security colleges
(1) Adhere to the policy of "building police through politics" and constantly strengthen Party building in public security colleges. Public security colleges are different from other ordinary colleges. As a base for training high-quality public security professionals, political qualification must be given priority. Adhering to the policy of "building police by politics" in public security colleges is to fully implement the Party's educational policy in accordance with Theory of Three Represents's general requirements, and closely focus on the fundamental task of cultivating socialist builders and successors with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, and constantly improve and strengthen Party building in public security colleges to meet the needs of training objectives. To strengthen and improve Party building in public security colleges, we should first use Theory of Three Represents to guide the overall situation of Party building in public security colleges and guide the practice of Party building in public security colleges, which is reflected in all aspects of Party building and implemented in all the work of strengthening the construction of the party's leading bodies, teachers and grass-roots organizations. Unswervingly adhere to the party's basic theory, line, program and experience, persist in arming students with advanced ideas, educate students with advanced ideas, and encourage students to master advanced scientific knowledge; Highlight the use of advanced cultural education to guide students and create a good campus cultural environment for their healthy growth. Secondly, we should constantly improve the theoretical level and leadership level of party organizations. Combined with the actual teaching work, establish and improve the responsibility system of party building work, and earnestly perform the functions of party building work. The third is to accurately grasp the pulse of the construction and development of public security colleges, keep pace with the times, and constantly improve the leadership system and working system of party organizations. Party committees in public security colleges should follow the principle of "commanding the overall situation and coordinating all parties", focus on grasping the direction, discussing major issues and managing the overall situation, solve major problems with overall situation, strategy and foresight, make overall planning and coordination, fully mobilize and give play to the enthusiasm of all parties, continuously improve the cohesion, creativity and combat effectiveness of party organizations, and make the party building work full of vitality.
(2) Firmly establish the idea of "building a hospital by quality" and strive to cultivate high-quality talents needed by public security work.
Improving the quality of education and teaching is the eternal theme of public security colleges and the lifeline of their survival and development. All teaching staff should emancipate their minds, change their ideas, firmly establish the idea of "building a hospital by quality", and form the consciousness that all work in colleges and universities should obey and serve the teaching center; To establish an education and teaching quality assurance system from enrollment, employment, teaching, management to service and guarantee, we should not only emphasize the teaching quality of teachers, but also make great efforts to grasp the learning quality of students; Formulate a scientific and operable teaching quality evaluation index system and student quality evaluation system, and effectively strengthen the evaluation of teaching and the monitoring of teaching quality; According to the actual combat of public security and the employment needs of students, revise and improve the teaching plan, adjust the curriculum structure in time and enrich the teaching staff; Constantly promote the reform of teaching methods and means, strengthen classroom teaching management, improve classroom teaching efficiency, implement the training concept of "great public security" and the principle of "three closeness", and cultivate students' comprehensive professional ability. Improve students' examination and assessment methods, increase the examination of training and hands-on operation items and contents, establish part of the course examination database, and separate teaching from examination. All the work to improve teaching quality should be carried out to ensure the realization of training objectives.
(3) Strengthen teaching management and continuously promote the construction of departments in public security colleges.
The basic work at the grass-roots level in public security colleges focuses on departments. In accordance with the principle of "opening, relaxing, neglecting and inclining", we should further change the teaching management concept, strengthen the awareness of quality, innovation and service, further improve the teaching management mode, adhere to the unity of management and service, and unify micro-management and macro-guidance. Teaching management departments should change from focusing on specific teaching behaviors and the management of teaching process to focusing on strengthening macro-planning guidance and organization and coordination of teaching work, effectively strengthening teaching supervision, finding problems in time, seriously studying and solving outstanding problems in teaching, and maintaining a stable and good teaching order. Departments should strengthen education and teaching decision-making, implementation and management functions, and expand the scope of independent decision-making matters. Colleges and departments should further enrich and improve the construction of subject groups and subject leaders, and constantly introduce "excellent courses". Establish and implement the evaluation mechanism of department work, implement target management, and the teaching management department should inspect and supervise the annual work plan and work objectives of the department, and assist relevant departments to do a good job in the term evaluation and competition of department directors. Encourage and support departments to strengthen foreign exchanges and actively explore effective ways to use funds at one time. Strengthen departmental work and increase departmental leadership and guidance. Timely study and solve the difficult and hot issues in department construction activities, and strive for a breakthrough in department construction.
(4) Practice basic skills hard and strive to improve the professional quality of staff in public security colleges.
Public security education requires teachers in public security colleges to have not only a high level of policy theory, but also a high level of basic theory and skills of public security education. Training basic skills hard should aim at improving the ability of education and teaching. According to the principle of "what to do, what to practice, what to lack, what to make up", we should build a platform for the continuous and step-by-step development of teachers and establish an evaluation and training mechanism with education and teaching ability as the core. With the implementation of "Police Training Rules for Public Security Organs" and "Three Necessities Training" system as the carrier, with basic political theories, basic policies and regulations, professional knowledge and skills as the main content, starting from the basic links of teachers' political thoughts, mental outlook, work attitude, professional ability, work efficiency, discipline style, physical quality, office environment and order, we should actively carry out basic post training activities at the grass-roots level, focusing on strengthening basic political theories, policies and regulations, and teachers should practice. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen teachers' practical training, continue to arrange teachers to work in grass-roots public security organs in batches in a planned way, carry out investigation and research, collect information and enrich teaching content; Administrative personnel should practice Putonghua, official document writing and microcomputer operation to improve the management art level. Public security colleges can take various forms such as centralized examination, inspection and spot check, competition and appraisal, self-evaluation and self-examination, etc. to test the effect of basic skills training, reward the excellent and punish the poor, and ensure the actual effect.
(5) Strengthen the system construction and innovate the management of public security colleges.
System problems are fundamental, overall, stable and long-term problems. In the process of grasping the grass roots, laying a foundation and practicing basic skills, public security colleges should conduct a comprehensive review of the existing systems and norms and unswervingly adhere to the systems and norms that have been proved to be effective in practice; Those who do not meet the requirements of the new situation and new tasks should be revised and improved in time; If new systems and norms need to be formulated, we should study and formulate them quickly. At the same time, we must pay close attention to the implementation of systems and norms, ensure that orders are prohibited, and earnestly safeguard the authority and seriousness of systems and norms. We should earnestly establish the idea of managing people and affairs with the system, overcome the passive and human factors in our work, and insist on standardizing school running and management with the system. At the same time, actively explore and summarize new ideas, experiences and methods of management, embody management innovation with system innovation, make management scientific, humanized and performance-oriented, realize management according to law, and always put all the work of the college into the track of institutionalized, standardized and scientific management to ensure the stable and orderly order of teaching, work, study and life.
(6) Increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and strengthen the hardware construction of public security colleges.
In recent years, most public security colleges have been upgraded to higher vocational colleges on the basis of the original secondary schools, with small scale, weak foundation, weak teaching infrastructure and lack of books, sports and entertainment facilities. It is difficult to change the old look in a short time. If you expand blindly, you are likely to be burdened with heavy debts. Therefore, according to the principle of "basing on the present, focusing on the long-term, making overall arrangements and coordinating development", we should improve the hardware construction in a planned and step-by-step manner by actively striving for higher authorities, absorbing idle funds from society, lending to banks and raising funds by ourselves.
(seven) actively strive for the support of superiors and relevant departments.
The infrastructure construction of public security colleges involves all aspects of itself, such as the improvement of infrastructure, the development and growth of teachers, the adjustment of internal institutions, and the implementation of employment policies for graduates. It is far from enough to rely solely on the efforts of public security colleges. It also needs the care and support of higher authorities, personnel, finance and other relevant departments, suitable development space, and the understanding and attention of all sectors of society. Therefore, in grass-roots infrastructure activities, we should actively consult and report to the government and higher authorities, and actively strive for policy and financial support. Expand the publicity coverage of all walks of life, enhance the popularity of public security colleges, and create a relaxed and suitable development environment.
Fourth, several problems that should be grasped in strengthening the capital construction of public security colleges.
First, we should further improve our ideological understanding and earnestly enhance our sense of responsibility and urgency in the construction of the "three basics" project. Grasping the grass roots, laying a foundation and practicing basic skills are in full compliance with the central government's decision on further strengthening and improving public security work and the spirit of the twentieth national public security conference, which has been fully affirmed by the central leading comrades and unanimously supported by public security organs at all levels and the general public security police. Public security colleges and universities should further unify their ideological understanding with the decision-making and deployment of party committees, deeply understand the significance of doing a good job in the construction of the "three basics" project, consciously give priority to the development of the "three basics" project throughout the whole process of education, teaching and team building, and actively and solidly do a good job in the construction of the "three basics" project. Second, actively study new situations and problems, and actively explore new ideas and methods. Party committees of public security colleges should thoroughly study the new situation and new tasks faced by colleges, the inadaptability of public security education and team building, the current situation and weak links of grass-roots basic work in colleges, persist in developing in inheritance and innovating in development, truly examine themselves with the spirit of keeping pace with the times, strengthen and improve themselves with the spirit of reform, put forward new ideas with new ideas, deal with new situations with new measures, solve new problems with new methods, and constantly promote grass-roots basic construction.
Third, proceed from reality, adjust measures to local conditions and give classified guidance.
Through in-depth investigation and study, public security colleges should thoroughly understand the upper feelings and grasp the lower feelings, truly combine the decision-making and deployment of party committees with their own reality, treat them differently, guide them according to the situation, and must not engage in "one size fits all" to effectively enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of grassroots infrastructure construction.
Fourth, we should strive to achieve practical results. Public security colleges should embody the spirit and style of seeking truth and being pragmatic in all aspects of grass-roots infrastructure construction, and make practical moves, do practical things and seek practical results. It is necessary to closely combine the "three basics" project construction with the current public security education work, and vigorously promote the completion of various public security education work through the "three basics" project construction. Through the completion of public security education, we will further measure and test the effectiveness of the "three basics" project.
Fifth, we must work hard to grasp the key points and overcome difficulties. In the construction of "three basics", public security colleges should be mentally prepared to attack hard and fight hard, and solve several "long-standing" problems that affect and restrict their own development in line with the principle of not avoiding and not delaying, so as to make the construction of "three basics" effective.
