The first group of specialized security guards has been formed in Beijing's central Dongcheng District to serve and protect the community.

The group consists of 200 well-trained professional guards, who are especially skilled in the often painful art of hand-to-hand combat. And the group will maintain a rigorous training schedule, and work on their skills for at least 2 hours a day.

Their main task is to provide security for important functions in Dongcheng District and aid the police in maintaining social security.
