aihaike Posted January 4, 2015 at 12:22 AM Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 at 12:22 AM Hey, I'm just wondering, is there any way to get to talk to a police officer in English? Is there a special department for English speaking people to go? Thank you, Éric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted January 4, 2015 at 11:08 AM Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 at 11:08 AM If you walk into any Shanghai city-center police station and say you need to speak to someone in English, I'd reckon they'd find someone fairly quickly, or at least tell you when to come back. I can also see reference to an English-speaking hotline at 6357 6666 , but it may just be for visas - worth a try though. If you tell us what the actual problem is someone might be able to offer more specific advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liuzhou Posted January 4, 2015 at 11:46 AM Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 at 11:46 AM Er, the OP claims to be in Beijing. Shanghai would be a long way to got to find a cop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Posted January 4, 2015 at 04:42 PM Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 at 04:42 PM I'm just wondering, is there any way to get to talk to a police officer in English? Not sure where you are or what is the issue, One approach, in the more touristy area's, is to go to the tourist police. The other approach is just walk into any police station. If no-one speaks English they'll most likely call one who does or call a translation service. A third approach mainly suitable if you have a really serious issue or see no other way out is contact your Embassy and they will help you to get in touch with the right people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liuzhou Posted January 5, 2015 at 02:02 AM Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 at 02:02 AM The police departments which issue visas often have an English speaker. We have one here who speaks excellent English. I'd imagine Shanghai would, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymoose Posted January 5, 2015 at 02:52 AM Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 at 02:52 AM I think many of the younger police officers speak reasonable English in Shanghai, even in non-touristy areas. That's my experience anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
