From May 23-25, the International Exhibition on Police Equipment and Anti-Terrorism Technology and Equipment took place in Beijing, providing a glimpse into the cutting-edge technology being used by China’s law enforcement agencies. The fair was mainly attended by manufacturers of police and military equipment, showcasing the latest advancements in surveillance, drone disruption, crypto tracking, and more.
One of the highlights of the exhibition was the surveillance cameras designed for anti-graft agencies, which appear to use artificial intelligence to monitor people under disciplinary detention, particularly officials suspected of corruption. These cameras not only monitor individuals but can also detect vital signs such as heart rate, respiration, temperature, and blood pressure. The cameras can analyze over 20 facial expressions to assess the person’s mood and even provide early warnings of sudden illness or suicide risk. The equipment is covert and unknown to the monitored person, and the company behind it is capable of designing an entire disciplinary detention facility with surveillance devices in each room, ultimately saving manpower.
The exhibition also showcased technology to detect, disrupt, and ground civilian drones, reflecting the Chinese government’s recent security priority. A drone control law that came into effect in January prohibits the use of drones for taking photos or videos of military or defense industrial installations, secret facilities, and allows authorities to intervene and capture or destroy drones that violate the law. Local governments have also imposed temporary flight restrictions during large events or politically sensitive activities.
Apart from drones, other popular products at the exhibition included a system to help police track crypto trading, equipment to detect suspicious objects, and rapid drug-testing kits. These innovative solutions aim to enhance the capabilities of law enforcement agencies in combating crime and ensuring public safety.
The exhibition attracted a wide range of attendees, including police, police equipment retailers, and university students enrolled in security and law enforcement-related disciplines from across the country. It provided a valuable opportunity for manufacturers to showcase their latest technology to potential customers, primarily law enforcement, military-related, and forensic agencies.
The importance of advancements in police equipment and security facilities in China cannot be understated. Despite the lack of official data, reports from consulting organizations have indicated that the market for such technologies in China is rapidly expanding. This growth is fueled by the increasing need for effective law enforcement tools and the government’s commitment to maintaining public security.
By harnessing cutting-edge technology, China’s law enforcement agencies are demonstrating their dedication to staying ahead of the curve in the fight against crime and terrorism. The integration of artificial intelligence, surveillance systems, drone disruption technology, and crypto tracking tools enables them to respond effectively to emerging security challenges. As technology continues to evolve, it is clear that China’s law enforcement agencies are well-positioned to leverage these advancements for the benefit of the public.
