It can be seen from the reform plan that the armed police force will no longer lead and manage the gold, forest and hydropower units of the armed police force after the reform. According to the method of first handing over and then reorganizing, the gold, forest and hydropower units of the armed police will be handed over to the relevant functional departments of the state as a whole, and the officers and men will be collectively transferred to other jobs and reorganized into non-active professional teams.
At the same time of "streamlining", the armed police force has also been enriched with fresh blood: the marine police force has been transferred to the armed police force. According to the method of first handing over and then reorganizing, all the marine police teams and related functions under the leadership of the State Oceanic Administration (China Marine Police) will be assigned to the Armed Police Force. The reform of marine police further consolidated the achievements of deepening the integration of maritime rights protection law enforcement forces in the early stage, effectively solved the chronic diseases of maritime rights protection law enforcement forces, and was more conducive to maintaining China's maritime order, effectively coping with the complex and severe challenges in China's maritime direction, and effectively safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests.
