First of all, we must know that Qingdao is a sub-provincial city, and its party secretary is at least concurrently held by the Standing Committee of Shandong Provincial Party Committee (Lu Zhi, the party secretary when answering, was originally the deputy secretary of the provincial party Committee). The four major teams are deputy ministerial level, belonging to the middle management cadre sequence; In addition to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of the four major teams, the deputies of the four major teams are all at the main hall level, which belongs to the sequence of provincial cadres. Qingdao municipal department is the deputy department level, and Qingdao Public Security Bureau belongs to the government and is a deputy department level unit. Procuratorates and courts are not government departments, but independent judicial organs, which are responsible to the people's congresses at the same level. The level of the procuratorate and the court belongs to the deputy department level of the government at the same level (for example, the highest level is the deputy national level, and so on), so the Qingdao Intermediate People's Procuratorate and the Intermediate People's Court are both department-level units.

But now, according to the requirements, it is necessary to comprehensively coordinate the judicial organs at the same level, and at the same time make the top leaders of public security organs equal. Often, the government deputy in charge of politics and law (who is also a member of the government party group) is also the head of the public security system (who is both the party secretary and the department/director). Therefore, although Qingdao Public Security Bureau is a deputy department-level unit, its director is a department-level unit and is awarded the first-class police chief.
