The School of Police Physical Education and Tactical Training of the People's Public Security University of China is an academic entity that integrates physical education, police skills and tactical training, and operational support. It undertakes the mission of cultivating front-line law enforcement personnel with both academic competence and physical proficiency. Originally established as the Physical Education Teaching and Research Section under the university's Basic Education Department, it has undergone several historical phases, including the Police Physical Education Teaching and Research Department, the Police Physical Education Department, and the Police Command Tactics Department. In 2016, it merged with the Police Tactical Training Department to form the Police Physical Education and Tactical Training School, and has since housed the Office of the University Sports Committee.

The School comprises 6 specialized teaching and research offices: Police Physical Fitness, Police Defense and Control, Police Weapons Use, Police Tactics, On-Site Law Enforcement, as well as Police Health Education and First Aid in Emergencies. It also houses 2 administrative support offices: the School Office and the Firearms and Ammunition Management Office.

The School currently has over 70 faculty members. They have professional backgrounds primarily in sports science, public security science and law, with degrees mostly from renowned domestic institutions. The school boasts significant academic, athletic, and officiating expertise. Academically, over 10 members hold doctorates and 9 are doctoral candidates. Athletically, the school features 2 international and 2 national top-tier athletes, complemented by 7 National First-Class and 13 National Second-Class athletes. This is further strengthened by a refereeing contingent of 3 international, 14 National First-Class, and 6 National Second-Class referees.

The school’s strategic role is defined by its position as the primary hub for advancing operational policing capabilities, the central base for cultivating senior tactical instructors, the pioneer in practicing the integrated “Teaching-Learning-Researching-Training-Combating” model for talent cultivation, and a new window for fostering exchange and cooperation in domestic and international police training.
