In the wake of the ridiculously awesome propaganda posters put up by police in Eastern China, another Chinese police force has come out with a set of awesome photos. This time around, instead of letting the locals know whoās watching, a police department of south west Chinaās Sichuan province is looking for recruits!
Earlier last week, a series of photos showed up on the Chengdu police forceās public weibo account. The photos depict the police force in some very heroic poses that almost look straight out of a Hong Kong action movie. Here, take a look:
Those look intense, and they should. The officers shown in the photos are mostly part of the Chengdu police SWAT team. While these photos look super cereal, the Chengdu police force did a complete 180 and posted another set of recruitment photos.
These new photos, posted on Saturday, show a much more āfunā and personal side of the Chengdu police SWAT team. While the photos look more personable, itās interesting to see that the officers are still totally super armed.
These photos kind of make me want to join the Chengdu police! According to their public website, theyāre looking for 359 people ages 18 to 30. The positions range from traffic cops to the SWAT team. Sadly, the positions are only open to Chinese nationals.
My only question right now is, whatās the deal with the crossbows?
