Ahead of the upcoming Chinese People’s Police Day, police in Chongming District, Shanghai, organized officers to visit campuses, communities, and enterprises to carry out various legal awareness and publicity activities as part of related “110 Publicity Month” work, aiming to further enhance public safety awareness.

Focusing on the newly revised “Law of the People’s Republic of China on Penalties for Administration of Public Security,” officers used on-site explanations, case studies, interactive Q&A sessions, and the distribution of informational materials to educate students, residents, and corporate employees on laws, regulations, and safety knowledge concerning telecommunications and online fraud prevention, traffic safety, and illegal drone operations (“black flights”).

This series of publicity activities brought police services closer to the public, further narrowing the distance between police and citizens and fostering a positive atmosphere of “police and citizens working together to build a safe community.” The police stated they would use the occasion of Chinese People’s Police Day and the “110 Publicity Month” to continue deepening legal publicity and public convenience services, constantly improving the effectiveness of social governance to safeguard the peaceful lives and work of the community.

Chinese People’s Police Day

Chinese People’s Police Day is observed annually on January 10th in China, established in 2021 to honor the service and sacrifices of the national police force. The date commemorates the first public ceremony for the Chinese police force held on January 10, 1986, symbolizing its formal establishment and role in public security. It is a day dedicated to recognizing police contributions and fostering public trust.

Law of the People’s Republic of China on Penalties for Administration of Public Security

The “Law of the People’s Republic of China on Penalties for Administration of Public Security” is a legal code enacted in 1986 and revised in 2012, which establishes administrative penalties for minor offenses that disrupt public order but do not constitute crimes. It serves as a key instrument for maintaining social stability and public safety by regulating behaviors such as disturbing public peace, damaging public property, and violating traffic rules.

110 Publicity Month

“110 Publicity Month” is not a specific physical place or cultural site, but an annual public awareness campaign in China, typically held in January, to promote the emergency police telephone number **110**. It was established to educate the public on the proper use of the emergency services, highlight police work, and strengthen community-police relations. The campaign involves various activities like exhibitions, demonstrations, and media outreach to inform citizens about crime prevention and how to report emergencies effectively.
