Beijing establishes first professional school security team

Nearly 1,000 well-equipped professional security guards started work at Beijing’s kindergartens, primary and secondary schools after a launching ceremony held at the Beijing First Experimental Primary School on May 12. This marks that Beijing has finally established a professional team to ensure school security.

The ceremony was organized by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Public Security, Beijing Municipal Education Commission, and Beijing Security Service General Company. The security guards have matching uniforms and equipment such as helmets, stab-proof vests, cut-proof gloves, and rubber sticks, and all wear red armbands printed with "School Security." Their duties include standing guard at school gates, patrolling inside schools, and detecting and timely stopping school violence, all of which are aimed at ensuring the safety of students at schools or kindergartens.
