China upgrades gang crime tip-off platform
BEIJING - Chinese law enforcement agencies Tuesday launched an upgraded version of its national tip-off platform against gang crime.
The public can provide leads of gang crimes via various online channels, including the official website of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the Communist Party of China Central Committee as well as its official WeChat and Weibo accounts, said Chen Yixin, a senior official with the commission and head of the national office against organized crime, at a press conference.
According to Chen, the upgraded platform utilizes big data, model analysis and cloud computing, among other digital methods, allowing the platform to compare the information of suspects, cases and key areas of the crackdown.
The original report platform was set up in February 2018 amidst China's increased efforts to crack down on gang crime.
As of March 31, the platform received more than 190,000 leads on gang crimes from letters and phone calls.
