Capital's police beef up for APEC

Police in Beijing's Huairou district have added to and integrated their forces in a move to ensure security at the APEC meeting there in November.

The redeployment has been in the works for almost a year, mainly targeting the district's rural mountain areas, which have fewer officers because of their smaller populations, the Beijing Public Security Bureau said in a statement on Monday.

The bureau has dispatched more forces to the district's Tanghekou police station, which covers four townships that include more than 300 villages in the district's mountain areas, to head off any security risks during the APEC meeting, the statement said.
