Let the Police Station Shine Brighter

Where is the convenience store closest to your home? And where is the nearest police station (police unit)? These are two interesting questions the author recently posed. As a result, almost no one answered the former incorrectly, while the latter mostly elicited vague and unclear answers.

Currently, the facades of police units are all marked with Chinese characters denoting the unit, accompanied by a small, dim red light. Not only does this fail to create a friendly approachable image, but it also falls short in terms of visibility and recognizability. The Ministry of the Interior is currently promoting the implementation of a corporate identity system (CIS), which hopefully will effectively improve the aforementioned shortcomings.

Furthermore, by promoting CIS visual identification for police stations, the police will inevitably be forced to strengthen their work efficiency and quality as they cannot evade public demands, otherwise it will only heighten public grievances. Therefore, improvements in hardware are also expected to bring about advancements in software, such as service quality.
