The Securolympics: record breaking security
While athletes from around the globe make use of years of intense training at August’s Olympics, Beijing’s law enforcement will be hoping their own preparations will pay off too. According to a report by the U.S. trade group Security Industry Association, China spent approximately USD 6.2 billion on security between 2004 and 2007. With all its new toys and rigorously trained personnel, Beijing’s security teams should be well prepared to beat records at their own set of Olympic events.
