Why is the District Public Security Bureau called a sub-bureau?

Because the municipal level is called the public security bureau, the county public security bureau they manage is called the sub-bureau, and the personnel arrangements are all appointed by the municipal public security bureau. The public security organs implement a dual management mode, in which the business is vertically managed and guided by the public security system, and the people and property are managed by the local authorities. This is the management status of public security organs at the provincial, city and county levels.

Difference between District Public Security Bureau and County Public Security Bureau

Compared with counties, county-level cities have greater social and economic management authority, and the supporting fees and planning scale of urban construction are tilted, but they are far from preferential. In terms of power, county-level cities and counties are basically managed by and bound by prefecture-level cities. At present, with the rise of counties directly under the jurisdiction of the province, some county-level cities and counties are directly under the jurisdiction of the province, such as Qianjiang City and Xiantao City in Hubei Province, and Jiyuan City in Henan Province.

As for the district public security bureau and the county public security bureau, they are all organs under the jurisdiction of the prefecture-level city public security bureau. The district public security bureau belongs to the district government, and the county public security bureau belongs to the county government. The reason why the district is called a sub-bureau is because the district is within the scope of prefecture-level cities, and the finance is completely turned over for unified use and calculation. Counties are also under the jurisdiction of prefecture-level cities, but the financial part is calculated independently and not completely turned over.
