China Police Association Formed

2005/10/31

The China Police Association (CPA), which aims to uphold the police's authority and rights, was officially established in Beijing on September 12.

Its predecessor, the former Police Science Society of China, was set up in 1992, according to a CPA spokesman.

The new organization is endowed with some new functions, the spokesman noted, including acquainting themselves with views and complaints of people, coordinating the police's public relations, and promoting and adjusting the relationships between the police and people, and ensuring the police's rights.

In addition, the association will also address research issues and international exchanges concerning police science, the spokesman said.
