The equipment, uniforms and markings used by the police are equipment used by the people's police for the performance of their duties and duties. They are under the uniform control of the public security department of the state council. No other organization may illegally manufacture or traffic in them。
In recent years, however, there has been a gradual increase in illegal sales of police equipment and the illegal use of police equipment and the illegal wearing of counterfeit police uniforms。
Some of the police equipment flows into society, some of which are used by criminals, which poses a great danger to public security, while also seriously disrupting the production, sale, management and supply of specialized equipment。
In order to further regulate the marketing of equipment for the xinjiang police, the public security office of the autonomous region has launched a special operation to combat illegal sales and the use of police equipment。
This newspaper's reporter recently conducted an investigation into the marketing of police equipment in the capital city
Investigations
There's no formality in selling police equipment at the store
On 27 december 2010, journalists visited a security supply shop near the mayor of urumqi, jiang road。
"do you have a truncheon? I'd like to buy a defense. A journalist asks. A man took a careful look at the journalist and said, "yes, but the goods are in the warehouse, you buy them, i'll show them to you."
"i'm going to buy several." listening to the journalist, the man turned around and took out a small and two electric truncheons under a pile of cargo from the counter。
"how does this stick work?" journalist asks. When the man took a large black truncheon of about 35 centimetres long and pushed down the “electric shock” button, the truncheon immediately sent out a blue current, with the sound of “crash” at the top。
"can i buy a truncheon?" journalist asks。
“these batons are exclusively for the police and security services and are usually used in order to leave a copy of the identity card with the unit's introduction letter. I see you're not a bad person, that's for protection. It's cheaper if you really want it, $250. The man said to the journalist。
The journalist said the baton was too big, and the man said, "there's still portable." after that, the man took a smaller black truncheon about 15 centimetres long. Journalists saw the baton with a voltage of 80,000 volts. "this is a pocket, low voltage. The men's introduction。
In another security stores, journalists expressed their desire to buy batons. The shopkeeper began to say yes. After a few interviews with the journalists, he claimed it was sold out. When the reporter asked where else to sell, the clerk said, "let's ask in the store on both sides of the road."
On the same day, the journalist went to another security equipment store, where he had a variety of handcuffs and rubber sticks. The journalist asked what formalities were required to sell the defensive products. The staff told the journalist that, in addition to obtaining a business licence, he had to go to the public security department to file a complaint and stated that they had all the formalities。
Asked about the entry channels, the owner said that they were ordered from the regular manufacturer and could buy them without any formalities。
On 29 december, journalists entered a security supply shop at mayor ujiang road on the grounds that they had purchased equipment for a security guard in a small district. When a journalist came in, the owner of the store enthusiastically introduced: “these clothes are the latest, they work and they are of good quality, at $370 a piece”
Reporters ask how cheap it is? She said, "for $330, take it!" in this case, the journalist had to pretend to pay a fee and talk to her about the terms: “i have to buy at least four of them, as well as batons, walkie-talkies, police belts, you have to make me a little profit, write less on the invoices.” the owner of the store promised。
In another security equipment store, the owner told journalists that if they bought uniforms, the security shirts ranged from $35 to $45, while the pants were regular police pants and required $75. A belt of $20, a cap of $15, a shoulderplate of $15, a rubber stick of $15 and shoes of $80 to 160. In other words, 300 dollars is required to complete a set of security equipment。
"can these clothes be sold at random?" journalist asks. “no problem. Police uniforms can't normally be sold at will, but security suits don't usually require any documents. The boss's wife answered。
In their interviews, journalists learned that, despite clear regulations and the fact that the authorities had conducted an inventory of the problem, there were varying degrees of resistance to the influx of police equipment into society。
At present, some of the operators of public sales of police items, for personal gain, have illegally appropriated various types of police equipment for public and illegal sale, which has led to an influx of police equipment into the market, to the extent that “security is not the same as security, the police are not the police” on the streets, and to the extent that some units that should not have had police equipment have purchased lamps and used them extensively。
A smaller number of outlaws use the uniforms and logos they purchase, forge people's police documents and commit criminal activities such as extortion and robbery。
Clean up
Thirty-four units have been ordered to reform and the public has found that they can report it
Many citizens have expressed their concern about the arbitrary use of some police equipment in the uniform of a counterfeit police officer。
Citizens wang zhiqiang said: “our district security guards wear uniforms similar to those of the police, and every time they see security guards in front of the district wearing “police uniforms” directing owners to stop at the door and turn around, many people think they are police.”

The procurement of police equipment by the outlaws would be an instrument for criminal offences。
