Chongqing, May 16 — The Chongqing Public Security Bureau announced on the 16th that it has organized city-wide police forces to carry out a special summer public security crackdown and rectification operation, serving as the “opening move” to fully launch the 2026 summer public security crackdown and rectification campaign.
According to reports, this year’s Chongqing police summer public security crackdown and rectification operation runs from May 1 to October 10. It targets prominent summer-related crimes and public security issues that have drawn public concern, aiming to maintain a stable summer policing situation, improve the effectiveness of combating and preventing frequent summer crimes, and enhance the governance of prominent public security issues, all to uphold overall social stability.
The operation focuses on cracking down on severe summer crimes such as those involving guns, explosives, and knives, theft, affray, illegal fishing, drunk driving, and street racing with loud noise. It also addresses prominent public security issues like gambling, prostitution, drug-related activities, littering from heights, noise disturbances, illegal pet ownership, ticket scalpers, illegal subletting of rental properties, and online rumors. Efforts include preventing drowning incidents among minors, continuing the “protect schools and ensure campus safety” campaign, and intensively combating crimes against students. The operation involves concentrated inspections of key areas, targeted rectification of flagged locations, strict patrols at critical points, and comprehensive strengthening of overall social control to safeguard the city’s peace.
From May 9 to 15, Chongqing police conducted the first special inspection of the 2026 summer public security crackdown and rectification operation citywide. During this inspection, police focused on high-incident areas and peak times based on local crime patterns. They increased patrol frequency and density at 42 key public security control areas, 71 busy commercial districts with dense crowds, 140 night economy zones, as well as night snack stalls, food streets, night markets, entertainment venues, and bars. This maximized visible policing, enabling rapid on-site handling of various incidents. During the inspection, police checked 10,073 places with complex public security conditions, 4,748 non-standard accommodation establishments, daily rental rooms, and online booking apartments, 6,105 illegal sublet rental units, verified 181,211 individuals, and apprehended 167 fugitives.
A responsible official from the Chongqing Public Security Bureau stated that this summer crackdown and rectification operation takes practical results as the fundamental measure of effectiveness, adhering to the principle of “targeting the most severe crimes and the most prominent public security issues.” The goal is to genuinely resolve prominent summer public security problems, improve the quality and efficiency of crackdowns and rectifications, and achieve public satisfaction, striving for “solid foundations, fewer incidents, good public order, and public approval.”
