On a rare occasion talking with him, listening to stories, we understand difficulties and hardships in the duty performance of an experienced officer in control work like him, especially in the drug war.

He said the area managed by the unit is very large and the mountainous terrain is difficult to access, the economic life and the intellectual standard of the mountainous people is still low, easy to be tricked by bad people, so communication and struggle against drug-related crimes face difficulties. Meanwhile, drug criminals are increasingly taking risks with sophisticated tricks and methods, making it difficult to fight drug crimes. In particular, the number of experienced cadres and civil servants in drug prevention and fight at the unit is still insignificant and most of them lack specialized training in investigation skills.

Through his story, we understand more about drug combat and prevention, which always contains hidden dangers and challenges, obstinate criminals who are ready to use weapons to fight back against competent forces when detected and pursued. Therefore, the role of the leader in motivating and encouraging the civil servants in the team is extremely important, requiring the leader to be experienced and flexible and assertive.

Quick and decisive in command work, ready to face danger, leader Ho Sy Thang always upholds the spirit of the assault, and together with civil servants in the team made many victories in the fight against drug crimes, said NgheAn Customs Department’s Chu Quang Hai.

Though taking many positions, Ho Sy Thang always learns, trains, upholds the exemplary spirit, promotes capacity and dignity of the leader, and advises the Department’s leaders to develop many plans and guided and coordinated with colleagues to investigate and destroy many drug cases.
