The headquarters especially underscored that local officers \u201cmust not allow (potential) criminals to set foot in their districts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Public security officials in Yanggang Province have scrambled to respond. The provincial branch of the Ministry of Social Security called a meeting of the heads and deputy heads of city and county ministry branches on Nov. 3 and designated November and December as an intensive crackdown period. The meeting also reportedly stressed intensive crackdowns on people who violate nighttime curfew (6 PM to 7 AM) and on outsiders staying in the province for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In particular, the ministry\u2019s local branch in the city of Hyesan instituted a real-time reporting system from Nov. 4 that provides on-the-ground information about what neighborhood officers are doing throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43596\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43596\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-43596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/00475.MTS_20190521_140327.656-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"labor camp\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/00475.MTS_20190521_140327.656-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/00475.MTS_20190521_140327.656-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/00475.MTS_20190521_140327.656-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/00475.MTS_20190521_140327.656-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/00475.MTS_20190521_140327.656-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/00475.MTS_20190521_140327.656-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/00475.MTS_20190521_140327.656.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of Yanggang Province from the Sino-North Korean border. \/ Image: Daily NK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each officer has been assigned a quota of reporting on three or more suspicious individuals a day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said that with the closing of the border due to COVID-19, fewer people are trying to defect, but the authorities appear tense nevertheless given there are signs that defections could increase due to food shortages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, some North Koreans public security officers wonder how they are supposed to make 100 rounds in their jurisdictions, \u201ceven if it is an order.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said the authorities sometimes issue \u201cdozens of orders a day,\u201d but \u201can order is just an order; you can\u2019t execute all of them.\u201d He said within the party, they say you can \u201cmake 10 rounds and carry out one-fifth of the order.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, local residents are the ones suffering from the relentless patrols.
