What special forces are there in the country?

China’s anti-terrorist special forces (known as the “Oriental Anti-Terrorism Powerhouse” (SPC), Special Police of China means Chinese Special Police.) was originally established in 1982, which is the predecessor of the Armed Police Special Police Academy. At that time, it was called the 722nd Special Forces of the Ministry of Public Security, also known as the Anti-hijacking Special Forces, located near the current Beijing Airport. They are all selected from the special forces of the entire army. The Armed Police Headquarters was established on April 5, 1983. The unit was affiliated to the Armed Police Headquarters and was renamed the "Special Police Brigade of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force", later also known as the "Special Police School of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force". In May 2000, with the approval of the Central Military Commission, it had its current name - "Special Police Academy of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force". The head of the Military Commission's requirement for the Special Police Academy is that it is "both a team and a school, and the team and school are integrated into one" with special characteristics. Special colleges and universities that prepare, cultivate special talents, conduct special training, and perform special tasks have begun to recruit undergraduate students since 2004. After completing their studies, some of the trainees from the SWAT Academy stay in the combat brigade of the SWAT Academy, and the vast majority are assigned to the SWAT units of the armed police corps at the provincial level as the backbone of training and operations. You must know how difficult it is to recruit undergraduate students to the Special Police Academy when the People's Liberation Army has been disarmed many times! Even institutions like Dalian Army Academy no longer recruit new students.

The SWAT Academy currently offers two majors: SWAT and reconnaissance, and has been recruiting undergraduate students since 2004. In addition to receiving basic training in politics, culture, and physical fitness, special police trainees here also undergo courses such as shooting, fighting, climbing, car driving, anti-hijacking, hostage rescue, riot control and explosive disposal, field survival, swimming, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance. train. Since recruiting its first freshmen in 1985, this mysterious college in the eastern suburbs of Beijing has trained more than 1,000 graduates. After graduation every year, some of the trainees stay at the SWAT Academy to become combat members, and some are assigned to various armed police corps and mobile units as commanders. The combat team is mainly responsible for tasks such as anti-terrorism operations, combat readiness duties, and foreign affairs performances. The TV series "Armed SWAT", which was very popular with the audience the year before last, was taken from the SWAT Academy.

The Armed Police Special Police Unit is specifically designed to deal with serious violent crimes and terrorist activities such as hijackings. Due to the important and special mission, the unit is equipped with the most advanced police equipment at home and abroad. For example, the cars and jeeps they use are expensive German Mercedes-Benz vehicles to ensure that they are foolproof during operations. They also have helicopters and airships. In addition, to deal with terrorist bombs, the special police are also equipped with special, state-of-the-art explosion-proof suits, explosion-proof cans, explosion-proof vehicles and explosion-proof robots. Naturally, the cutting-edge equipment of the Chinese Armed Police Special Police Force goes far beyond these. With advanced equipment and superb combat skills, the Chinese Armed Police Special Police Force has completed dozens of anti-terrorist criminal missions. The first unit named "anti-terrorism" in the Armed Police Force is indeed the Anti-Terrorism Squadron of the Shanghai Corps. On February 5, 2002, the Anti-Terrorist Special Operations Squadron of the Shanghai Armed Police Corps was established. This is China’s first anti-terrorist special operations force. Each provincial-level armed police corps in the armed police force has a special police brigade, which is equivalent to a battalion of the People's Liberation Army. This is consistent with the fact that each army of the People's Liberation Army has a reconnaissance battalion. For example, in 1996, the police reconnaissance company in the People's Liberation Army's Type B Infantry Division, which was transferred to the Armed Police Mobile Division, became a special police force. They will play an increasingly important role in our country's anti-terrorist operations.
