Dedicated officers, high tech deliver a safe society

CHONGQING - Police officer Hu Yang looks inconspicuous in a crowd, but he faces some of the most dangerous criminals in Chongqing as head of a 100-member squad in the public security bureau of Yubei district.

In 2018, Chongqing launched a campaign against organized crime and gang members, and by the end of March more than 2,500 cases had been investigated, with 2,676 suspects detained.

"Organized crime has become harder to investigate. It takes many field investigations and efforts to pore through voluminous papers to locate the evidence," Hu said.
