Beijing’s top police officers offer security assurances to 2008 Olympic Games 　　
　　With a formidable antiterrorism team, Beijing’s top cops are ready to deal with any security incidents that might take place during the 2008 Olympics. This assurance was given by Lu Shimin, Deputy Director General of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, at a press conference in late 2005.
　　It was also disclosed at the conference that the command system for Olympic security is ready for trials. During the Olympics, a four-category security rating, namely A, B, C and D, is to be utilized, and different security measures will be taken accordingly. The system will be tested during the sporting events to be held in Beijing this year.
　　According to Yu Hongyuan, Deputy Director General of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, security and order during the games will be maintained by a wide range of personnel, including armed police, police, security guards, Olympic venue workers and volunteers. “Security measures will be adopted according to the importance of the event and the number of spectators present,” he said. Volunteers and security guards will be charged with taking care of events with a small audience, while police officers, in both plainclothes and uniform, will be deployed to safeguard popular events attracting large audiences.
　　Yu said Olympic-standard security services would be provided for all sporting events in Beijing this year to try out the system. Category A, or the top-level security rating, will be used at football matches.
　　The 2006 World Junior Championships to be held from August 5 to 15 with the participation of several thousand athletes from some 190 countries will be taken as an extensive security exercise before the 2008 Olympics, according to Yu.
　　The press conference was held to mark the one-year anniversary of the establishment of the Beijing Olympic Security Coordination Group. Involving 15 government departments, the group consists of a security command center and a security information center.
　　The command center is responsible for “coordinating, contacting and supervising the operation forces in their implementation of duties.” Established on June 30, 2005, it is now integrating various security resources into an efficient task force. Headed by Ma Zhenchuan, Director General of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, the center will act as the top decision-making body for all security issues during the 2008 Olympic Games. The coordination group’s security information center was established on June 28, 2005.
　　According to Lu, Beijing police have come up with 30 general security plans for the coming Olympics, which will be updated in accordance with the changing security situation at home and abroad.
　　Over 50 Olympic security experts and advisers from around the world have been invited to form a think tank for Beijing police. Chinese experts are already at work, while engagement contracts are being settled with experts from other countries.
　　In addition, the security personnel training program has been drawn up, and various training courses will be launched beginning this month.
