China's Ministry of Public Security is in charge of public security for the entire country and is responsible for the education and training of public security personnel and police officers.
Abstract
The basic purposes of public security and police education and training are to enhance the ideological and professional caliber of police officers and to develop them morally, intellectually, and physically. The educational system is designed to develop specialized public security personnel at different levels in universities, colleges, and schools; to train police officers according to their different grades; and to produce specialized personnel of all ranks. Goals of higher institutions are to foster specialized, high-level public security personnel and to train leading police officers above the rank of director of county public security bureaus or sections. China also has vocational schools with 2-year or 3-year programs that are run by provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities. The Public Security Administrative Cadres College admits applicants for public security organizations who have graduated from middle schools or have an equivalent educational level. The People's Police School is a kind of specialized secondary school that admits graduates from senior middle schools. Once enrolled, students of all universities, colleges, and schools observe a military routine. Inservice training for cadres and police officers is provided in accordance with long-term plans of the Ministry of Public Security. As a member of Interpol, China cooperates in international police education and training with other Interpol member countries and regions.
