Chinese People's Public Security University - Co-op Programs and Field Experience

Co-op Programs and Field Experience

As the CPPSU is aiming at training prospect police officers, field experience and "co-op programs" are weighing more in the curriculum than any other universities. Starting from the first year, the cadets are required to participate in field work in their winter and summer vacation at local police station or bureaus, enabling them with direction experience of police work. However, such cadets sometimes causes casualties for cadets although the number is very limited due to their unexpected encounter with criminals or events. In total, a cadet may have obtained six-month field experience at most by the start of the final year if the cadets were following such requirements.

Besides, all the senior students at the last year will have a two month internship at local police bureaus, normally Beijing, Shanghai, and other cities.

In total, the cadets could be quite into the culture and real world before their graduation.

International Cooperation

CPPSU is aiming to be one of the best police academy in the world, establishing relations with many other famous police academies in the world, such as Korea National Police University of South Korea(an elite police academy which can be compared to Seoul University). CPPSU has been connected with such institutions or governmental agencies from more than 60 countries including France, UK,US, Australia.

CPPSU also provides training for officers or cadets from 40 developing countries. Ever since 2009, CPPSU also provides training for Hong Kong Police Officers, aiming at maintaining stability at Hong Kong and strengthening the control of Central Government.

Although CPPSU has no direct communication with Taiwan Central Police University for a long time, in 2010, the head of the CPPSU, Chen Ling, paid visit to TAIWAN CPU and Hou Youyi, head of CPU paid a reciprocal visit to CPPSU, which signals the change of his mainland police of Ma Yingjiu.

Controversies'

1. Infrastructure Build up before 2004. In 2004 a national police parade was held in the CPPSU and President Hu Jingtao attended the parade. For such a parade, the university motivated all its resources and also spent 0.9 billion RMB for renovation and infrastructure. Although the campus in Tuanhe was significantly renovated, even with an alleged largest university library in China (from physical capacity), criticism arose for Chinese government's attention to spend so much money on construction of police academy rather than improving people's life.

2. Li Meijing and Yao Jiaxin. Li Meijing is a renowned professor of Criminal Psychology in CPPSU and her academic field. In an interview in CCTV, she psycho-analyzed the reason for why Yao Jiaxin would kill Zhang Miao after hitting Zhang by Yao's vehicle. The public audience did not believe what Professor Li analyzed and feel she is biased and tends to protect the Yao, which caused a great national anger. Chinese netizens even claim that she committed suicide for this case.

3.In 2007 the Level-4 English National Test classified test papers were leaked and sold by a working staff Cao Yu of the CPPSU who later was sentenced by the Beijing Court.

Famous quotes containing the words programs, field and/or experience:

    We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.
    Richard Louv (20th century)

    ... there are no chains so galling as the chains of ignorance—no fetters so binding as those that bind the soul, and exclude it from the vast field of useful and scientific knowledge. O, had I received the advantages of early education, my ideas would, ere now, have expanded far and wide; but, alas! I possess nothing but moral capability—no teachings but the teachings of the Holy Spirit.
    Maria Stewart (1803–1879)

    The modern American tourist now fills his experience with pseudo-events. He has come to expect both more strangeness and more familiarity than the world naturally offers. He has come to believe that he can have a lifetime of adventure in two weeks and all the thrills of risking his life without any real risk at all.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
