In the past few years, the main candidates for the examination For young people aged 25 to 29, there are also younger or older persons.

Paying attention to the integrity of police officers must have a "clear conscience"
Zhou Ming not only has expectations for candidates, but also attaches importance to the integrity of active police officers. He advocates "a clear conscience" internally, and encourages police officers to "think about every decision and behavior is a mime?" before doing anything. We will continue to review and provide support training, and we will also conduct basic training in the school. I hope new police officers will keep this in mind.
