介绍:
Italian police officers walk beats on Great Wall( by LNJ )
Four Italian police officers are now conducting joint patrols with Chinese police officers on the streets in Beijing and Shanghai. They began patrolling in the two cities on Monday and will continue to May 7.
Meanwhile, eight Chinese police officers will go on patrol in Italy in early June to help their Italian counterparts protect Chinese tourists.
The Chinese officers, selected nationwide and proficient in Italian, will patrol scenic spots in Rome, Milan, Florence and Naples to help deter crimes against Chinese tourists.
Liao Jinrong, director of the Ministry of Public Security&`&s International Cooperation Bureau said, the patrol duties will last for two weeks or possibly longer, depending on the needs. The Chinese officers may not be armed, and they have no law enforcement authority on these patrols.
China and Italy signed a memorandum of understanding on joint police patrols in September 2015, the first such agreement between China and a European country. The first group of four Chinese police officers patrolled in Rome and Milan from May 2 to 13 last year.
