Want to marry a SWAT policeman?

To mark Police Open Day, the armed tactical response department's headquarters in Changping district held a day of activities, which this year featured a matchmaking project aimed at helping its young officers find partners.

"The police officers are very busy every day. They get few days off and have little contact with the world outside their unit," said officer Wang Na, who was part of the organizing committee for Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau.

"It's not easy for SWAT personnel to find girlfriends or boyfriends."

Basic details and pictures of 54 unmarried recruits - including five women - were posted on large boards in the station for potential suitors to note down. Visitors could also leave their contact information for candidates, who are all aged in their 20s.
