Tourist zone gets its own crime team
AUTHORITIES in the Pudong New Area yesterday announced the establishment of a law enforcement team dedicated to fighting crime in the Shanghai International Tourism and Resorts Zone, in which Shanghai Disneyland is located.
The group will comprise more than 100 officials from police, urban management, market supervision, cultural, tourism and intellectual property rights departments.
They will make their first patrols — in vehicles and on foot — today.
A further 700 assistants and security guards will help to provide widespread coverage of the 7-square-kilometer zone, said Yuan Xingchao, the team’s deputy head.
“We will mostly target illegal cabs, unlicensed tour guides and photographers, and unauthorized vendors,” he said.
The timing of the launch is designed to let the team gel before the opening of Shanghai Disney, which is now less than two months away, he said.
When not doing their utmost to rid the streets of wrongdoers, members of the team will serve as guides and information providers to bona fide visitors to the zone, he said.
