Residents all know that this is a 365-day community neighborhood watch volunteer patrol team that has started patrolling again.

Song Xuexia, member of the "Four Small and One Red" Volunteer Patrol Team of Shannan Community, Yushan Street, Yushan District:
In 2009, Shannan community is still an open old community, and there are many hidden dangers to public security in the jurisdiction, so we elderly people responded to the call of the community and set up this team to contribute to the security of the jurisdiction, which is 15 years.
At the beginning of 2009, Shannan Community officially launched the Neighborhood Watch and Mutual Aid Model, and took the lead in setting up the "Four Small and One Red" Neighborhood Watch Patrol Team to carry out volunteer security patrol activities. The patrol members all wear red armbands, hold small speakers, small cards, small notebooks, and small flashlights, and patrol the community uninterruptedly to ensure that there are no gaps in security throughout the day. Driven by the patrolmen for many years, more and more community residents have changed from bystanders to volunteers and participants, and the atmosphere of community life has become more harmonious and harmonious. In 2016, in order to further deepen the comprehensive social governance, Yushan District built the "Red Armband" safety volunteer service brand in the whole district on the basis of the "four small and one red" patrol volunteer service, and up to now, the "red armband" safety volunteer team in the whole district has grown from dozens of people in the initial Shannan community to more than 3,000 people in 33 teams.
Yu Xiaoyun, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shannan Community, Yushan Street, Yushan District:
Since the launch of the "Four Small and One Red" voluntary patrol activities of the neighborhood watch, the preventable cases of public security in Shannan communities have been effectively controlled, and the public security incidents have also shown a downward trend year by year, and the people's sense of security has been significantly enhanced. The community has also been awarded the honorary titles of Ma'anshan City Democratic Rule of Law Demonstration Community, Ma'anshan City "No Fraud" Demonstration Community, and Yushan District Advanced Unit for Comprehensive Management of Social Security.
Dedication, fraternity, mutual assistance, progress, and the spirit of volunteerism are like motivation, inspiring volunteers and volunteer service teams to move forward bravely. In recent years, the city has actively promoted the selection of excellent typical trees, actively carried out various volunteer service theme activities, and continuously consolidated the grassroots volunteer service force, the city's volunteer service team has been growing, the field of volunteer service has been expanded, and the volunteer service mechanism has been continuously improved.
