📖 About the university

Zhengzhou Police College was founded in Beijing in 1950 and relocated to Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan province, in 1980, and for decades it operated under China's Ministry of Railways before being transferred to the Ministry of Public Security in 2000. In 2013 the Ministry of Education approved it to independently run full-time undergraduate education under the name Railway Police College, it gained authorization to confer bachelor's degrees in 2017, and in 2023 it was renamed Zhengzhou Police College, reflecting a broadening of its mission beyond railway policing alone. The college is directly affiliated with China's Ministry of Public Security and operates across two campuses in Zhengzhou, the Nonglu Road campus and the Longhu campus, together covering more than 1,000 mu of land with over 200,000 square metres of floor space. It offers five undergraduate majors alongside three higher-vocational specialties, with a historical focus on training police personnel for China's railway public security system, an area in which it remains a leading national institution. Zhengzhou Police College continues to serve as a key training ground for law-enforcement officers in Henan and for railway and transport-security specialists nationwide.
