The Role Of Night Vision Devices And Thermal Imaging In Night Patrols Of Fishery Law Enforcement
The comprehensive fishing ban in the Yangtze River was launched in 2019 and 2020, starting from the aquatic biological protection area, followed by the main stream of the Yangtze River, important tributaries and large lakes connected to the river. The work in various regions has been steadily advancing, but there is still a long way to go to achieve the established goals. The national fishery law enforcement department patrols and enforces the law on the thousands of streams of the Yangtze River, purchases a batch of night vision devices, telescopes and other equipment, and severely punishes all violations and illegal acts found.
Police check illegal fishing behavior
The law enforcement department launched a special operation to combat illegal fishing crimes in the Yangtze River Basin. In key areas such as aquatic biological protection areas, aquatic product trading places, and fishing-related catering places, in-depth and thorough investigations were carried out to fully grasp the clues of fishing-related crimes. In addition, the law enforcement department and multiple departments jointly enforced the law, strengthened the linkage between water and land, departments and regions, and enhanced the joint force of law enforcement. At the same time, increase investment in science and technology, and adopt a combination of human defense and technical defense through instruments such as thermal imaging and night vision devices to increase the control of key waters, key areas, key time periods, key personnel, and key ships.
Police use thermal imaging to patrol the riverside
Infrared thermal imagers can quickly lock suspects in a large area, and use infrared thermal imagers to find suspected missing persons or fugitives. People are strong radiators of heat, and it is easy to determine their location through thermal imagers. Thermal imagers can also be used to find people hiding in concealed objects.
