A team of policewomen on roller-skates in Chongqing municipality is busy training for the upcoming Spring Festival holiday.

Chongqing is a mountainous city with plenty of slopes and flights of steps, making it hard to patrol in cars. To overcome the problem, police decided to put together a roller-skating team to patrol during festivals, when the streets are crowded. They use specially made skates and undergo two years of training.
