Novel Project Introduced to Improve People's Security Awareness 

 

Residents can now visit the new Citizens' Police Academy (CPA) to brush up their knowledge of how the security forces work.

"The CPA, launched on Nov 26, is a nonprofit training institute targeted at people from every walk of life across the city, aiming to popularize awareness of security issues and promote better understanding of police work," Zi Xiangdong, spokesman of Beijing public security bureau, said on Sunday.

"We also want to be closer (to civilians) and establish more harmonious relationship with them in this way," Zi said, adding this school will shape up as a brand representing the capital's police officers.

Within a day of its opening, about 600 citizens, including private company employees, university students and retired people, had voluntarily registered to become the first batch of members, he said.

Trainees, including foreigners who live or work in the city, could learn how to protect themselves from fire, explosion, drowning, food poisoning, electric shocks and traffic accidents, and will get a certificate after completing the course, he said.

"Members who graduate from the CPA will be preferred when they sign up to take exams qualifying them for posts of secretary or security guard in public security departments," he said, adding that this might be an incentive for university students to join.

Interested people can register on the micro-blogging site run by the public security bureau, which would continue to publish more information about CPA, he added.

Some police stations have started studying this project as a pilot program.
