The Guangzhou police team is now under intensive training. There are not only police, but also SWAT members, some of them female, and they have their eyes on the championship.

The competition will serve as a tryout and those who excel will make the national team for the 2nd World Police Service Pistol Shooting Championship to be held in Guangzhou in November.

Different from previous events, the competition adopts practical shooting in which agility is given the same weight as precision. The shooting range has been given a wider range to respond to the change.
