The university shares office space with the Senior Police College of the Ministry of Public Security (公安部高级警官学院). The university has been ranked as the best police academy in China since its merger with the People's Police Officers University of China (中国人民警官大学) in 1998.
Its graduates are employed in public security organs, state security organs and other judicial organs at all levels. Many Chinese peacekeeping police officers with field work experience come from this university, especially the Foreign Languages Department.
