Police: Commander's discretion

The police responded that they would closely monitor the relevant crime trends and take appropriate actions at the appropriate time, including stepping up patrols in the area, and conducting targeted intelligence-led operations and crime prevention publicity to combat crime. One of the police's crime prevention measures is to set up a check-in book to ensure that uniformed police officers patrol from time to time in places where crimes are at high risk and are more likely to occur. The police will continue to strategically set up sign-in books based on crime trends and the actual situation in the area, and front-line military personnel will conduct irregular patrols.

According to the police's general rules, the establishment and use of the sign-in book is at the discretion of the unit commander. If the sign-in book system is adopted, one patrol officer must sign the sign-in book in accordance with the instructions of the commander of the unit to which he belongs.
