Riot control equipment is widely used in scenarios such as public security riot control, handling public safety incidents, counter-terrorism drills, and security at special locations. It protects law enforcement personnel and effectively controls conflict, reducing casualties.
Main application scenarios include:
Public Emergency Response: In mass incidents, riots, or disturbances, police use riot shields, steel forks, tear gas spray, and other equipment to isolate, disperse, and subdue troublemakers. For example, in a counter-terrorism and riot control drill, Zhongning Public Security Bureau's special police used a "shield wall + steel fork" tactic to quickly subdue armed "criminals."
Security Protection of Key Locations: Museums, prisons, government offices, train stations, and other densely populated or high-risk areas are equipped with riot control equipment to enhance emergency response capabilities. For example, in a counter-terrorism drill conducted at the Nanxiong City Museum, security personnel used riot shields and steel forks to deal with "rioters breaking in"; Chibi City distributed rubber batons, protective shields, and other counter-terrorism and riot control equipment to 13 public locations.
Prisons and Special Supervision Environments: The prison system has permanent riot police units to handle extreme situations such as prisoner escapes and prison breaks. The riot police unit of Shanghai's newly admitted prison regularly conducts drills, using riot police equipment to perform guard, escort, and emergency response tasks. Bijie Prison, in conjunction with the Armed Police and Public Security Bureau, conducted "three-police" drills simulating responses to drone attacks and prisoner hijacking incidents.
Large-Scale Events and Sports Events Security: Riot police equipment and intelligent devices are used in conjunction with each other during large-scale events such as sports meets and concerts. Shenzhen deployed new equipment such as police robots and quadrupedal robotic dogs for the 15th National Games, combining them with traditional riot police tools to achieve integrated air and ground control.
Counter-Terrorism and Bomb Disposal Missions: Specialized equipment such as bomb disposal containers and bomb blankets are used to handle suspected explosive devices and are commonly found at key locations such as airports and train stations. The Armed Police Force is also equipped with armored riot control vehicles to provide troop transport, command, and strong protective support during terrorist activities.
Routine patrols and deterrence: Armored riot control vehicles, riot suits and other equipment play a powerful deterrent role in routine patrols, especially in high-altitude border defense and urban counter-terrorism missions, accompanying individual soldiers to enhance overall defense capabilities.
