Chinese People's Police Day: A due salute to the police

 

Quote

 

China's first national Police Day to be celebrated on Sunday, January 10. 

The Chinese People's Police Day aims to give full recognition to the police for their efforts in protecting citizens while they go about their daily lives. 

January 10 was chosen in connection to the police hotline 110. On January 10, 1986, Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau launched China's first police hotline with the number 110. In 1996, China's Ministry of Public Security held a meeting to make the hotline nationwide. 

After over 30 years, 110 has become a symbol of the police force as well as one of the household phone numbers people immediately think of when in danger.

Monday marks the second Chinese People's Police Day, which falls on January 10 annually, corresponding with the country's emergency response number 110.

All around China, police officers are set to mark the special day in different ways.

On Friday, police officers at Yian police station in Tongling, East China's Anhui Province invited local primary school students to walk into the police station to experience a day in the life of a police officer as an activity to mark Chinese People's Police Day. The children were shown the typical weapons and police equipment. 

In Nanjing, East China's Jiangsu Province, railway police officers presented a "show" of drills complete with weapons at the railway station. After the performance, the police officers sang in unison in front of travelers.

In Kashi, Northwest China's Uygur Autonomous Region, police officers walked into local campuses to celebrate Chinese People's Police Day with teachers and students. 

The police officers showed their equipment and provided basic information about the police, including teaching young students how to call the police through 110 in a proper and efficient way.

On many occasions, sticking to their daily positions is also a way for China's police officers to celebrate the festival.
