In some areas, in order to meet the current situation of insufficient police force, police are recruited from the society. These people need to be trained in public security professional knowledge after passing written examination, interview, political examination, physical examination and physical fitness test. Professional police schools are mainly responsible for this part of the work. In addition, the police school that junior high school students can apply for is a secondary school. In some areas, especially ethnic minorities, poor and remote areas, it is not easy to go to a university. It is impossible to ask all the policemen there to be college students.
