High-tech police equipment must not be used as decoration

Somewhat embarrassingly, a handful of police forces now have high rates of unused high-tech and expensive equipment. Some people believe that the reasons for this situation are nothing more than the low level of management, low level of sharing and low efficiency of use.

However, the blindness of equipment procurement and the lack of professional and technical personnel are the main reasons for the idle high-tech equipment. A few police units lack a master plan for the construction of equipment, making it difficult for professionals from the user departments to participate in the bidding process. At the same time, before the purchase of equipment, there is also a lack of in-depth research on instrument utilization and repeat purchase rate, blindly pursuing high performance indicators of equipment. Moreover, the role of some technical professionals has long been neglected. High-section technical devices generally have a high threshold for use, and most of them need to be operated under the guidance of professional personnel. Instruments and equipment in a few police units not only lack qualified professional and technical personnel to operate and maintain, but also refuse to be readily available to researchers. No matter how expensive the instrument is, it‘s just a pile of scrap metal.

If you don‘t need work, you hold back, and if you don‘t need something, you waste it. No matter how large the instrument, there is a certain scientific life cycle. In order to avoid the waste of resources, it is urgent to solve the idle problem of some valuable instruments. In order to make full use of high-tech equipment, we believe that the first step is to strengthen the research before the purchase of equipment, especially to purchase a high price of a single piece or complete set of equipment to conduct a comprehensive investigation and evaluation of the necessity and rationality; Where major equipment platforms are seriously abandoned, accountability should be strengthened. Secondly, we should pay more attention to equipment application departments and professional and technical personnel. All units should increase the proportion of personnel in each function of scientific research support and management to create a healthy atmosphere for scientific research. In addition, relevant institutions should strengthen the concept of joint construction and sharing, and vigorously promote the construction of large-scale scientific instrument cooperation service platform.
