BEIJING is one of the best-equipped cities in the world for public security. The city has accumulated a wealth of experience in security work for international events.
Every year, more than 100 international events are successfully held in Beijing.
In 1990, when thousands of athletes, journalists and tourists gathered in the city for the 11th Asian Games, there was not a single threat to public security.
A Security Commission for the Olympic Games responsible for co-ordinating and directing security work will be set up. It will be composed of leaders of China's Ministry of Public Security, the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the armed police forces.
Beijing's public security organisations have established extensive international relations.
They have the manpower and resources, as well as the ability to mobilise the city's public security volunteers, ensuring the safety and smooth running of the Games.
