Xiao At present, due to the shortage of police force in various parts of China, in order to maintain the needs of social governance, a solution of auxiliary police force has been established. There are two kinds of "obligation" and "semi-occupation". The auxiliary police force is a force under the direct command and management of public security organs. Mainly used for social joint defense patrol. Its functions and equipment are between the current security and regular police, and it is endowed with basic law enforcement power. For example, when patrolling, you can question the suspect and check the citizen ID card. At the same time, the auxiliary police will be equipped with basic police equipment such as batons. Auxiliary police mainly come from local citizens, and some come from outsiders who are interested in policing in Guangzhou. There are two kinds of management of auxiliary police: one is voluntary auxiliary police, and citizens participate in the prevention and control of social security in their spare time; The other is semi-professional auxiliary police, which adopts the form of contract system, making auxiliary police a new profession.
