Thus, citizens only need to have permanent residence registration at the locality where the pre-qualification is registered to be eligible for applying for regular university education in the People's Public Security.

Additionally, according to Clause 3 Article 24 of this Draft 2 of Circular, non-police personnel applying to be recruited to the full-time undergraduate programs of People's Public Security (who already have bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degrees) must take the following subjects through multiple-choice, essay, or other forms:

- Subject 2: Logical thinking and social knowledge;

However, Draft 2 of the Circular has not been approved yet, and People's Public Security universities have not finalized the admission plans for 2021. Therefore, whether non-police personnel will be recruited to the full-time undergraduate programs of People's Public Security from this year remains to be officially confirmed by relevant authorities.
Once new information is announced, Lawnet will update esteemed Customers and Members.
