According to Zhihu's inquiry, the auxiliary police cannot directly serve as the director of the police station. The appointment of the director of the police station needs to go through the internal appointment and dismissal procedures of the public security organs, and it is decided by the public security organs that send public security sub-bureaus and police stations. Although the auxiliary police can assist the police to enforce the law and maintain social order, they are endowed with basic law enforcement powers, but there are differences in functions and equipment from the regular police. Auxiliary police mainly come from local citizens and take the form of contract.
