Xinhua (June 25) reported that at a meeting on June 25, China's Ministry of Public Security
has disclosed that it will start a "Hundred Days Action" of the national public security organs
to crack down on the rectification of public security in the summer. It emphasised that various
rectification measures will be put in place to ensure the continued stability of the overall social
situation and severely crack down and rectify the masses in accordance with the law. It said
this would make the people feel that safety is at their fingertips and around them. The focus
was on criminal activities, gangsters, resolution of disputes and conflicts, traffic violations and
disposal of petitions. The Ministry of Public Security instructed that social control be
strengthened with the strict implementation of mechanisms such as joint armed patrols and
rapid response of the public security and armed police, adopting policing models such as "one
police officer in one village (grid)" and "two teams and one room", so as to maximize the
number of police forces on the streets and into the community, mobilising mass organizations
to enhance social security control, especially focusing on the characteristics of public security
in summer, and strengthening night patrols in key locations and areas.
