女士們、先生們、尊敬的同事們:
我很榮幸參加這場重要的國際論壇,感謝組織方邀請(qǐng)我與各位共同探討“全球都市治安挑戰(zhàn)”這一重要議題。城市在發(fā)展,都市警務(wù)也要隨之發(fā)展,這樣才能更好地為居民提供安全保障。
城市環(huán)境至為復(fù)雜,在其中維護(hù)公共安全不僅是我們的共同使命,也是時(shí)代賦予我們至為艱巨且重要的任務(wù)。面對(duì)全球都市千變?nèi)f化的公共安全問題,我們需要協(xié)作、創(chuàng)新、因勢利導(dǎo)。
我們不妨先來看看犯罪活動(dòng)本身所發(fā)生的變化。犯罪性質(zhì)發(fā)生改變不可避免,數(shù)字革命從根本上改變了犯罪活動(dòng)的性質(zhì)。網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪不再只是個(gè)別黑客的為非作歹,早已演變成精心策劃的跨國產(chǎn)業(yè)。利用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的普遍性和匿名性,犯罪分子把魔爪伸向了跨境金融詐騙、跨境人口販賣和跨境恐怖活動(dòng)。為此,我們要以前所未有的力度加大國際合作,實(shí)現(xiàn)情報(bào)共享。
傳統(tǒng)警務(wù)大多以地方管轄和現(xiàn)場執(zhí)法為依托,但這些方法不足敷用。我們必須擁抱科技,開發(fā)網(wǎng)絡(luò)能力,訓(xùn)練警務(wù)人員,更有效地應(yīng)對(duì)數(shù)字威脅。加強(qiáng)跨境合作不再僅是選擇題,而是一道必做題。
都市公共安全方面最重大的變化源于科技的進(jìn)步。數(shù)字監(jiān)控、大數(shù)據(jù)分析、人工智能徹底改變了我們維護(hù)公共安全的方式。如今,預(yù)測式警務(wù)雖然尚有爭議,卻已成為主動(dòng)警務(wù)的發(fā)展方向。雖然利用大數(shù)據(jù),我們可以預(yù)防犯罪的發(fā)生,但同時(shí)也要尊重公民隱私,遵守職業(yè)操守。
維護(hù)公眾對(duì)執(zhí)法機(jī)構(gòu)的信任是我們面臨的又一緊迫難題。社交媒體時(shí)代,信息傳播速度極快,且不可遏制,執(zhí)法人員的執(zhí)法行為也受到了前所未有的監(jiān)督,任何不當(dāng)行為——無論誤會(huì)還是實(shí)情——都會(huì)迅速引發(fā)輿情動(dòng)蕩,在人口密集的市區(qū)尤其如此。
加強(qiáng)并維護(hù)公信對(duì)提高警務(wù)效率至為關(guān)鍵,執(zhí)法必須透明、公正。同時(shí),我們還要積極主動(dòng)地接觸社區(qū)群眾,都市警力必須被視作社區(qū)的一分子,而不應(yīng)頤指氣使。更重要的是,要主動(dòng)接觸群眾,聆聽他們的心聲,在相互尊重的基礎(chǔ)上,促進(jìn)情誼。
全球城市化進(jìn)程也是公共安全格局改變的重要原因。城市不斷擴(kuò)張,更加多樣,治安難度也隨之增加。人口稠密、貧富不均為犯罪活動(dòng)提供了肥沃的土壤,執(zhí)法行動(dòng)必須隨時(shí)掌握復(fù)雜多變的社會(huì)形勢。
在此背景下,數(shù)據(jù)警務(wù)至關(guān)重要,利用大數(shù)據(jù)和預(yù)測分析可以更有效地配置資源,準(zhǔn)確預(yù)測犯罪熱點(diǎn),更快速地應(yīng)對(duì)新型威脅。不過,使用技術(shù)的同時(shí),我們還要確保公民的權(quán)利,避免種族歧視等問題。
都市公共安全事務(wù)還有一最新趨勢:解決環(huán)境問題,消除災(zāi)害影響。氣候變化導(dǎo)致颶風(fēng)、洪水、野火等極端天氣更加頻繁地發(fā)生,給城市地區(qū)造成了巨大風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。所以,城市必須將防災(zāi)、抗災(zāi)納入公共安全體系,確保公共安全計(jì)劃能夠及時(shí)有效地應(yīng)對(duì)日益嚴(yán)重的天氣災(zāi)害。
最后,討論都市警務(wù)不能不涉及陰魂不散的恐怖主義的威脅。國內(nèi)外的恐怖威脅都要求我們重新思考都市公共安全戰(zhàn)略。城市中心人口密集,一旦遭遇襲擊,影響深遠(yuǎn),因此已經(jīng)成為恐襲的主要目標(biāo)。
預(yù)防恐怖主義需要采取靈活豐富的手段,包括收集情報(bào)、深入社區(qū)、開展國際合作等。我們要時(shí)刻做好高效快速應(yīng)對(duì)的準(zhǔn)備,最大程度地減少傷害,保護(hù)公民的生命安全。
未來,我們將更好地整合智慧城市治理手段,比如:無人機(jī)、實(shí)時(shí)數(shù)據(jù)等,這些技術(shù)將大幅提升執(zhí)法部門的情境感知能力。為了有效預(yù)防犯罪,我們要認(rèn)識(shí)到心理健康何等重要,社會(huì)服務(wù)和心理支持是公共安全不可或缺的組成部分。當(dāng)然,同樣重要的還有國際合作:全球城市需要共同努力,分享信息,借鑒經(jīng)驗(yàn),如此才能更好地打擊販賣人口、走私毒品、網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪等重大問題。
總之,全球都市公共安全格局的改變給我們帶來了前所未有的挑戰(zhàn),但同時(shí)也為我們提供了創(chuàng)新改良的寶貴機(jī)遇。成功與否主要取決于我們適應(yīng)變化、跨境合作、深入社區(qū)的綜合能力。
請(qǐng)大家記住,我們的終極目標(biāo)除了執(zhí)法,還要建設(shè)安全、公正、堅(jiān)不可摧的社會(huì)。我們作為高級(jí)執(zhí)法人員要以身作則,誠實(shí)守信,勇于站在時(shí)代前沿,積極應(yīng)對(duì)各種復(fù)雜的安全挑戰(zhàn)。
感謝各位。

Ladies and Gentlemen, Distinguished Colleagues,
It is an honor to attend to this esteemed international forum today. I want to thank the organizers for the opportunity to share my thoughts with the colleagues on a topic that is becoming increasingly critical -The evolving challenges in global metropolitan policing.As our cities grow and develop, so too must our strategies to ensure the safety and security oftheir inhabitants.
Our shared mission, safeguarding public security in some of the world's most complex urban environments, is one of the most challenging yet essential tasks of our time. The rapidevolution of public security in the global metropolitan context demand innovative,coordinated, and adaptive approaches.At the beginning, let us consider the shifting landscape of crime itself. The changing nature of crime is inevitable. The digital revolution has fundamentally transformed the nature of criminal activity. Cybercrime is no longer the domain of isolated hackers; it has evolved into a sophisticated, transnational enterprise. Financial fraud, human trafficking, and even terrorism now arise across borders, exploiting the anonymity and global reach of the internet.These crimes transcend borders, requiring a level of international cooperation and intelligence sharing that we have never seen before.
Our traditional policing methods, rooted in local jurisdictions and physical presence, are being stretched to their limits. We must embrace new technologies, develop our cyber capabilities, and invest in the training of our personnel to handle these digital threats effectively. Moreover, fostering cross-border collaboration is no longer optional; it is anecessity.
One of the most significant changes in metropolitan public security has been driven by technological advancements. The advent of digital surveillance systems, big data analytics,and artificial intelligence has reshaped how we approach public safety. Today, predictive policing—even though sometimes controversial—represents a shift towards more proactive policing. Using big data, we can prevent crimes before they happen, but we must ensure that privacy concerns and ethical standards are respected.
Another pressing challenge is maintaining public trust in our law enforcement institutions. In the age of social media, where information spreads rapidly and often unchecked, the actions of law enforcement officers are scrutinized more than ever. Incidentsof supposed or real misconduct can quickly lead to public unrest, especially in densely populated urban areas.
Building and maintaining public trust is crucial for effective policing. Law enforcement must operate with transparency and fairness. But it also demands that we engage proactively with the communities we serve. Metropolitan police forces must be seen as part of the community,not as an occupying force. More importantly, police should engage proactively with communities, listening to their concerns and building relationships based on mutual respect.Global urbanization is another factor reshaping the landscape of public security. As cities grow larger and more diverse, so too do the challenges of policing them. High population densities and economic inequality create fertile ground for crime. Law enforcement must navigate complex social dynamics.
In this context, data-driven policing becomes crucial. By leveraging big data and predictive analytics, we can allocate resources more effectively, anticipate crime hotspots,and respond more rapidly to emerging threats. However, the use of such technologies must be balanced with civil liberties to avoid issues like racial profiling.
Another emerging trend in metropolitan public security is the need to address the impactsof environmental and natural disasters. Climate change has led to more frequent and severe weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, and wildfires, which pose significant risks to urban areas. Cities must now incorporate disaster preparedness and resilience into their public security frameworks ensuring that public safety plans are resilient and responsive tothese growing threats.
Finally, we cannot discuss metropolitan policing without addressing the persistent threat of terrorism. The threat of terrorism, both domestic and international, has necessitated a rethinking of metropolitan public security strategies. Urban centers are often the prime targets for terrorist attacks, due to their dense populations and symbolic significance.Preventing terrorism requires a versatile approach that combines intelligence gathering,community outreach, and international cooperation. Additionally, we must be prepared to respond to incidents swiftly and effectively, with a focus on minimizing harm and protecting civilian lives.
In the future, we will see greater integration of smart city technologies, such as dronesand real-time data systems, that will enhance situational awareness for law enforcement.Additionally, recognizing the importance of mental health will play a key role in crime prevention, as social services and wellness support are integral to public safety. Lastly,international cooperation will be crucial. Global cities will need to work together, sharing information and best practices to combat issues like human trafficking, drug smuggling, and cybercrime.
In conclusion, the evolution of public security in global metropolitan areas presents us with unprecedented challenges, but also opportunities to innovate and improve. Our success will depend on our ability to adapt to these changes, to work collaboratively across borders, and toengage meaningfully with the communities we serve.
Let us remember that our ultimate goal is not just to enforce the law, but to create safe, just,and resilient societies. As senior law enforcement professionals, we have a responsibility to lead by example, to uphold the highest standards of integrity, and to be at the forefront of efforts to address the complex security challenges of our time.
Thank you for your attention.
