Public security departments in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region have started to recruit 3,000 people to patrol and prevent illegal activities on the streets on Wednesday, in an effort to strengthen the region's "grid management," the government announced on its official website.

Eligible applicants include residents with a Xinjiang household registration, graduates of Xinjiang universities, colleges and secondary technical schools, military veterans, security guards and auxiliary policemen who have worked in Xinjiang for more than one year, as well as staff members of grass-roots public service programs.

The test encourages applicants to use non-native languages.

Candidates of ethnic minorities including Uyghur and Kazak who write Chinese in the exam, or examinees whose mother tongue is Chinese and answer the exam paper in Uyghur, will get an extra five points.
