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. The result? Almost no one got the first question wrong, while the latter mostly elicited vague and unclear answers.

Nowadays, the facades of police units are all marked with Chinese characters denoting the unit, accompanied by a dim little red light. Not only does this fail to create a sense of approachability, but it cannot even be said to have any noticeable visual identification effect. The Ministry of the Interior is currently promoting the implementation of a CIS (Corporate Identity System) visual identification, which hopefully can effectively improve the aforementioned shortcomings.

Moreover, by promoting CIS identification measures for police stations, the police will inevitably be forced to enhance their work efficiency and quality as they cannot evade public demands; otherwise, it will only increase public grievances. Therefore, improvements in hardware are also expected to bring about progress in software such as service quality.
