they drove police motorcycles into the campus to give teachers and students the "first lesson in traffic safety", which drew cheers from the children; they ensured traffic safety around the venue of the forum on china-africa cooperation summit, winning frequent praise from foreign guests... in september, the capital's female police officers, who officially debuted at the beginning of this year, kept moving forward, showing the new era style of beijing traffic police with their "coolness" and "expertise".

they are the female traffic police motorcycle team from the dongwai brigade of the chaoyang traffic detachment of the beijing municipal public security bureau traffic management bureau. this is also the first regular female motorcycle team established by the beijing traffic management department. the "post-95" female police officers, with an average height of 1.7 meters, ride 600 kilograms of police motorcycles every day, shuttling between beijing gongti, sanlitun and other fashionable districts and along the third ring road, taking on many work responsibilities such as fixed-point guidance, accident handling, order maintenance, and serving the people.

behind their “sassy” attitude is the unique soft law enforcement secrets of female police officers, who use gentleness, delicacy and tenacity to make the concept of traffic safety deeply rooted in people’s hearts. behind their “specialization” is the unremitting “devil-like” training. scars and bruises have become the new medals of honor for the girls, and they have also exchanged for “second-level response” in emergencies.

combining firmness and flexibility to win people over with emotion and law

"my dear, why are you riding against the flow with your child? is there something urgent that you need help with?"

this question, asked with a smile, made ms. sun blush, and she quickly promised, "i will never do it again next time."

policewoman xiong b yao from the motorcycle gang said that when she encountered such a situation while on duty at an intersection, she would use a flexible communication method to take care of the dignity of the parents in front of their children, and then explain to the parents and children the dangers of doing so, "both in a reasonable and respectable manner and in a professional manner in law enforcement."

"we women have a natural advantage in dealing with traffic violations. many traffic violators will take the initiative to reflect on themselves when they see us, and their attitudes will also be much more moderate," said xiao [, captain of the women's iron horse team.

however, the gentle nature of the female police officer sometimes results in deliberate harassment from the offender. previously, when policewoman chen ying was handling an illegal act, the male driver started swearing and making excuses as soon as he got out of the car, and even shouted, "you don't understand, let the male traffic police handle it."

the more chen ying suppressed her anger, the more arrogant the other party became, and even refused to accept the punishment. chen ying's temper flared up, and she did not intend to show mercy to the driver. she began to list the details of the regulations to the male driver, and "machine gun"-like counted the possible harm caused by the male driver's violation, and the other party was instantly speechless.

in this way, the female police officers of the women's traffic police horse team use their "softness and strength" to maintain the safety of people's travel. when talking about the happy moments when they enforce the law, the girls kept talking, "when we meet the kindergarten school bus on the road, the children will wave to us" and "when citizens wait for the red light, they will give us a thumbs up and say 'so cool'". these small interactions and warm moments make the female police officers full of happiness and make them more determined in their choices and beliefs.

scars and bruises in exchange for "second-level response"

"there was a traffic accident between a passenger car and a non-motor vehicle on beitucheng east road. please go and deal with it." xiao [, who was patrolling during the morning rush hour, immediately rushed to the scene of the accident after receiving the control order from the command center.

since no one was injured and the damage to the car was minor, the parties were clear about the responsibility. xiao [arrived at the scene and immediately drove the car out of the main road and parked it on the side of the road. the driver got out of the car and said with emotion: "i didn't even have time to call the police, but you arrived already. what a speed!"

xiao told the legal daily reporter that for every minute of delay in handling the problem, the traffic jam would extend by one kilometer. only by handling it as soon as possible can the safety and smoothness of the traffic behind be guaranteed.

behind the "second-level response and minute-to-minute arrival" is the high-intensity training that the female motorcycle riders have always adhered to. "the more extreme the weather, the more likely it is to cause traffic accidents. only by mastering the driving skills in special and complex environments can we rush forward and not let down the chain when citizens need the motorcycle riders." xiao said that their average height is 1.7 meters, but it is still difficult for them to put their feet on the ground when the vehicle starts, and it is not easy to control the 600-jin police motorcycle.

therefore, the "devil-style" training became the first subject that female police officers had to face when they joined the iron horse. compared with other female police officers, liu pei, who had no driving experience, needed to spend more energy to complete the training. "falling off the bike" during training was commonplace for her. she relied on her unwillingness to admit defeat and practiced overtime every day. at that time, her legs and hands were always bruised and purple. her hands were so sore that she would shake when holding a kettle. she didn't dare to show her arms and calves even when she went home, for fear of being seen by her family.

from pushing and supporting the motorcycle at the beginning, understanding the structure and driving principles of the motorcycle, to short-distance riding, emergency braking, and even stunt training, the girls have broken through and challenged themselves time and time again, becoming qualified female riders who can easily drive heavy motorcycles around poles, make emergency stops, and cross narrow bridges.

the old and new inheritors are all teachers in the team and school

in july this year, the women's traffic police horse team had its first expansion, and the patrol and diversion scope was expanded accordingly. in order to let the five new riders get into work as soon as possible, the first batch of five female riders took the initiative to become teachers, imparting their law enforcement experience one-on-one.

in the "sauna days", the new policemen wore long-sleeved and long-pants riding clothes and carried more than 10 kilograms of police equipment. after a day of training, not only were their clothes soaked, but their bodies were also covered with sweat. even so, it did not stop the new policemen's enthusiasm for learning. "take me to the order post to learn in the evening." as soon as she got off work, new team member guo jiawen found her master chen ying and asked for overtime to learn skills.

"as masters, we need to learn more. on the eve of the china-africa forum, i just finished a full-time training." xiao said that such training is not only available when entering the industry, but is carried out on a regular basis to continuously improve driving and law enforcement skills.

"establishing the women's iron horse team and allowing female traffic police to move from administrative posts to law enforcement posts can help them better understand the public's traffic safety needs on the front line. it can also give full play to their natural advantages and make law enforcement both tough and warm." said li miao, captain of the dongwai brigade.

the old team members are now not only masters in the team, but also "teachers" in the eyes of the children.

"how should we cross the road safely in areas without crosswalks?" a few days ago, liu pei went to a beijing middle school to give a lecture on "the first lesson in traffic safety". with experience in grassroots law enforcement, she talked about the knowledge "blind spots" that students encounter in their daily lives but often get confused about.

nowadays, more and more female police officers have taken the initiative to apply to join the iron horse team, hoping to hone themselves through frontline work and improve their ability to guide law enforcement and deal with emergencies. li miao said that the women's traffic police iron horse team has become an important platform for team building. in the future, new female traffic police officers will first join the iron horse team for training, fulfilling their original mission of serving the people and making the roses of the police camp bloom from generation to generation.
