When you face the fierce gangster, defeat him, and catch him, the sense of accomplishment in that moment is really strong.
Chen Wei, 47, has been in the police for 26 years, and swat police work has long been engraved in her life. "What I remember most is when I successfully rescued a little girl and handed her over to her parents. Her parents were crying, and I couldn't help but cry. Looking back on it so far, I'm really proud. Chen Wei said.
She is now the captain of the women's special police brigade of the special police detachment of the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau, and she was awarded the title of "sharpshooter" by the Ministry of Public Security. She has participated in the successful handling of hostage-taking and more than 20 cases of serious violent crimes involving guns and explosives, and has made great achievements. On March 6 this year, State Councilor and Minister of Public Security Zhao Kezhi signed an order awarding 53 outstanding female police officers the title of "National Public Security System Second-Level Hero Model", of which Chen Wei was listed.

At work, Chen Wei is a sonorous rose, but also like a careful "nanny". "Many female SWAT officers are mothers in their lives, and if the family does not understand, it will affect the work." Chen Wei said that therefore, she often pays attention to the lives of the team members.
On June 18, Chen Wei told the surging news (www.thepaper.cn) that as a party member, she is willing to fight in the SWAT post forever and guard the safety of the city with her life and blood.
Sharpshooter with great military achievements
Chen Wei came from a martial arts family, is the 21st generation of Chen Taiji, and has been learning martial arts with his father since childhood. When she was in high school, she watched the female police officer in the TV series "Police Flowers Out of the Way" with a heroic posture and a soft bone, and she was envious and dreamed of becoming a people's policeman.
In 1994, after graduating from the Wuhan Institute of Physical Education, the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau recruited special police, and with the advantage of years of martial arts training, Chen Wei became a female special police officer as she wished. Since then, she has been fighting in SWAT positions.

Chen Wei said that he would not accept defeat when he was young. Just entered the SWAT detachment, she encouraged herself with a "bully flower" in the pile of men, secretly competing. With the male team members to touch and climb the stick, go hand in hand, split the board with bare hands, break the bricks on the head, run with weight, fall over the shoulder, climb the tall building... 365 days a year, even if the whole body is blue and purple, he has never given up.
In order to practice "no false hair", she practiced three volts in summer and three nine in winter, carefully pondered each link, hung an extra brick when aiming at the target, consciously increased the amount of practice, the watering can, rubber band, and broom around her became training tools, and the playground, classroom, and dormitory became a shooting range... Her teammates laughed at her and said she was "enchanted," but she enjoyed it.
Kung Fu pays off. In 2002, she won excellent results in the national public security system military pistol application shooting competition, and was awarded the honorary title of "sharpshooter" by the Ministry of Public Security. In 2010, she became the first double champion in the national public security system shooting competition with the total results of 92 rings and 575 rings in the rapid sports shooting event.
One day in April 1995, in the case of gun-taking and hostage-taking in Danshuichi, Jiang'an District, Wuhan City, a police officer was heroically killed, and his superiors assigned special police members to provide rapid support.
This was a live-fire battle, and Chen Wei was arranged to disguise herself as a hostage sister and negotiate with the suspect face to face.
She was only 21 years old at the time, calm and calm. After more than 30 minutes of negotiations, the vicious suspects were unmoved. When she saw the commander issue a coded command to carry out an arrest attack, she looked at the suspect and turned his head, rushed up like lightning, pressed the suspect's right hand holding the gun, and firmly subdued it with her comrades-in-arms, successfully freeing the kidnapped little girl.
One day in 1999, four wanted fugitives from a gang involved in evil were hiding in a farmhouse in the Zhangjiawan area of Baishazhou, Wuhan, carrying guns. Chen Wei and his teammates disguised themselves for reconnaissance, mastered a large amount of on-site intelligence, drew topographic maps, and formulated action plans. When the battle began, she was the first to descend from the roof into the room, and with the cooperation of her comrades-in-arms, she put 4 wanted fugitives into the net without spending a single shot.

According to statistics, since joining the special police, Chen Wei has successfully handled more than 20 cases of hostage-taking, gun-related, explosive-related and other serious violent crimes, and has repeatedly undertaken the task of arresting and transporting and escorting major criminal suspects.
"Although the training will try to simulate the actual battle, the situation on the spot is often rapidly changing, it is impossible to fully predict, and it is impossible to be exactly the same as the training." Chen Wei told the surging news that pressure is inevitable, when you first joined the police, even because of lack of experience, you will be afraid of failure, but the special police are in a "special" word, to "pay special attention to politics, especially able to endure hardships, especially able to fight..."
Therefore, no matter how much pressure there is, you must also remain calm and calm. In addition to enhancing her psychological endurance through exercise and tempering, and occasionally having leisure, Chen Wei likes to play tai chi, cultivate calmness, self-regulation, and relieve stress.
He feels guilty about his son, but is willing to fight in a SWAT position forever
In 2005, the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau established the country's only women's swat police brigade, with Chen Wei as the deputy captain. Because of his outstanding military achievements, in 2010, Chen Wei was appointed as the captain of the brigade.
During the epidemic period in 2020, Chen Wei led the team members to guard Leishenshan Hospital 24 hours a day, accumulated 353 ambulances, assisted in transporting 142 patients, and enthusiastically served the masses more than 40 times. Chen Wei also paired up with the team members for a long time to help Zhaidong Village, Yaoji Town, and carried out 12 telephone condolences every year, 5 times to help realize micro-wishes, 4 times to provide material assistance, 4 times to carry out field visits and condolences, and is a "loving mother" in the minds of left-behind children. On March 6 this year, State Councilor and Minister of Public Security Zhao Kezhi signed an order awarding 53 outstanding female police officers the title of second-level hero model of the national public security system, and Chen Wei was listed among them. So far, the number of heroic models in the Wuhan police camp has reached 44.

Under the leadership of Chen Wei, there is no shortage of fighting champions, judo champions, and sanda athletes in the women's SWAT team. Chen Wei led everyone to overcome difficulties and successfully completed the security of more than 500 major events such as the China Expo, the opening and closing ceremonies of the World Military Games, major events, and the emergency handling of the aftermath of the "Oriental Star" passenger ship overturning and sinking incident.
On June 18, 2021, Chen Wei said in an interview with The Paper that the average age of the women's SWAT team is around 30 years old. Some of them are already mothers. In the SWAT team, the job requirements are the same, compared with male SWAT, female SWAT officers are less likely to be understood and bear greater psychological pressure.
As a captain, in addition to caring about everyone's training, Chen Wei has half of his heart and mind on the family life of the team members, including talking about friends and getting married. "Only by caring more about their parents and solving the worries of the small family can we achieve everyone."
If the team members have any concerns, they are willing to communicate with Chen Wei. Chen Wei never saves up the problem, always compares the heart to the heart, intervenes quickly, and easily resolves it. She always works hard to build the women's SWAT brigade into a warm big family.
Chen Wei's husband, who was also a swat police officer, now works at the police station. She said she tried her best to take care of the family, but for the family and her son, it was more of a debt. Her son was brought up by the elders since she was a child, and she missed many important moments of her son, such as her son's kindergarten graduation ceremony, the parent-child sports meeting held by the school, and the accompanying care of her son when he was sick, all of which made her feel guilty. When the son was a child, he would complain, but he would also proudly tell his classmates that his mother was a female SWAT officer.
Now that his son has grown into a big guy, he said that he also wants to be a policeman, "This is cool!" ”
Chen Wei, who has 26 years of party experience, said that she is willing to fight in the SWAT post forever and guard the safety of the city with her life and blood.
