For citizens currently serving or having completed service in the People’s Public Security force, and those who have completed military service in the People’s Army, height and weight are regulated according to current stipulations for health examinations to recruit citizens for mandatory service in the People’s Public Security. If police units or localities require higher standards for height and weight than the general regulations, they must report to the Minister for a decision.

Admission Scores for Police Schools

According to Clause 4 of this Article, the admission scores for police schools are stipulated as follows:

Suppose the admission plan exceeds the quota or is unreasonable regarding the ratio of admission scores among different examinations and fields of study, and in cases of training sent to non-sectoral schools (for schools with quotas), it needs to be reported to the Ministry (through the General Political Department of the People’s Public Security) for a decision.

b) Based on the quotas assigned by the Ministry of Public Security, police colleges shall base the admission scores of candidates applying to police universities and the aspirations of candidates applying to colleges to propose admission score plans.
