East China's Shandong Province will take charge of setting up the country's third riot police squad to Haiti under the United Nations peace-keeping mission, according to the Shandong Public Security Department.

The riot squad will be sent to Haiti this December on an eight- month UN peace keeping mission, the source said.

The provincial department, entrusted by the Chinese Ministry of Public Security, has set up a special leading group in charge of the establishment of the 125-person-strong riot squad.

The members of the riot squad will be selected from 10 cities including Qingdao, Jinan and the provincial police college.
