During the recent National Day holiday, the Beijing Railway Police took significant steps to ensure the safety of travelers during this peak travel season. According to officials from the Beijing Railway Public Security Bureau, the police managed to recover over 300 lost items for passengers, collectively worth more than 1 million yuan.
To enhance safety, the police increased their presence at major railway and high-speed train stations, particularly in high-traffic areas. They deployed additional officers to improve security measures, which helped boost visibility and readiness to respond to any incidents. By collaborating closely with the ticketing departments at these stations, they ensured they were well-informed about passenger flows and could effectively manage the large crowds.
A specialized police task force, alongside canine units, was also mobilized for joint patrols, focusing on key locations within the stations. Additionally, the railway police coordinated efforts with local law enforcement, city management, and transportation enforcement teams to conduct crackdowns on illegal taxi operations and unlicensed vehicles near train stations, fostering a safer and more orderly travel environment.
Statistics from the holiday period show that over 15,000 police officers were deployed, along with more than 3,500 community volunteers. Their efforts led to the successful resolution of 184 public security cases, resulting in the administrative detention of 12 individuals.
Security checks were a priority, with the police adhering to strict guidelines regarding prohibited and restricted items. During the holiday, more than 31,000 dangerous items were confiscated, including 78.9 kilograms of flammable liquids like gasoline and kerosene, as well as 2,037 kilograms of hazardous chemicals.
Throughout the holiday, the Beijing Railway Police intensified on-board security measures, increasing patrols on key and temporarily assigned passenger trains. They established a comprehensive prevention and control framework, enhancing the effectiveness of their operations and ensuring quick responses to potential risks. In total, over 420 safety awareness campaigns were conducted on trains, reaching more than 50,000 passengers.
