30万志愿者协助亚信峰会治安 - 2014年05月16日

MORE than 300,000 citizen volunteers were deployed in the city by police to assist in security for next week’s regional Asian summit in Shanghai.

The volunteers are residents recommended by district governments. Among them, 40,000 were deployed at Metro stations and 60,000 were put on street patrols. Over 2,000 volunteers were dispatched to smaller city waterways.

Wu Ming, a retired man aged nearly 70, said the most exciting moment is putting on his security volunteer uniform — a yellow vest and a red armband — every morning. “It’s a great honor to work as a security volunteer,” Wu said. “My family is proud of me.”
