Suspects to receive 'humane treatment'
( 2003-08-07 11:46) (China Daily)

Nanjing police have been instructed to adopt more "humane measures" in dealing with suspected criminals, including protecting a suspect's hands when administering handcuffs, reports China Youth Daily.

In the past, police officers in pursuit of a suspect cared little about anything but handcuffing the person and taking him or her away.

But the new regulation requires officers to handle arrests with greater consideration, especially when children or elderly family members of the suspect are present.

In addition, police are prohibited from activating the siren when driving away with a suspect, in a bid to help him or her "save face".

Traffic police also received reminders to speak softly, smile more and show greater tolerance when dealing with the public
