The Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau (Chinese: 北京市公安局; pinyin: Běijīng Shì Gōng'ānjú) is a department of the municipal government of Beijing. It serves as the city's public security bureau and branch of the people's police under the ministry of public security (MPS) The headquarters is in Qianmen, Dongcheng District.[1]
In 2010 the agency started a new public relations program by allowing Hong Kong and Macau media to attend press conferences and adding new spokespersons.[2] All police officers of the Beijing police are armed with a variety of guns on the beat, e.g. QSZ-92, QSW-06, officers in special units carry shotguns and SWAT members are armed with the domestically produced Norinco QBZ-95 Assault Rifle and QSZ-92 Pistols.[citation needed] The bureau is the host of Beijing SWAT, reportedly one of most well trained and best equipped special police (特警 , "Tèjǐng") teams in the entire country.[1]
