Editor's note: This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China.
On Jan 10, 1986, the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau in Guangdong province set up China's first emergency hotline - 110 - which was later adopted nationwide.
Dialing the number - through which police receive reports about incidents, mainly crimes - will see officers arrive within five minutes.
