Being punished by public security generally does not affect the political examination, but depends on the severity of the public security punishment. Article 6 of the Measures for the Employment of People's Police by Public Security Organs stipulates that under any of the following circumstances, people may not apply for the People's Police: (1) Those who have been subjected to criminal punishment, reeducation through labor or juvenile discipline; (2) There are criminal suspects that have not been ascertained; (3) Being expelled from public office.
