Almaty. January 25. Silkroadnews - China tightened its rules on the recruitment of police officers, the information portal China news reported.
“China tightened its rules on the recruitment of police officers to ensure the force is loyal, honest and professional,” the statement said.  
According to a document released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, Ministry of Public Security and State Administration of Civil Service, the recruitment should be organized and carried out by provincial-level authorities.
As reported, the document calls for authoritativeness and credibility in recruitment, relieving the city- and county-level regions of their right to recruit.
The document also emphasized the new police officers should be recruited from public security colleges as well as the public at large to ensure talented candidates are included in the force. Yet, graduates from public security colleges should be a major source for filling positions.
