What does "G4" from Guangzhou TV Station G4 mean?

Because of Mr. Chen, I also like to watch the news of Guangzhou TV Station, and watch program G4 every day! Care about current events, care about things around you, and care about your home! After paying attention, I always have a question in my heart: What is the solution of G4?

Search, answer G4 means "special agent", G4 is a news agent! Digging into its original intention is quite mysterious:

What is G4?

Vip protection unit of the Hong Kong Police Force

Witness protection group and VIP protection group (commonly known as G4) belong to the elite of the police force, and both groups focus on protection. G4 is to protect the safety of local dignitaries or VIPs visiting Hong Kong. The Witness Protection Unit protects criminal witnesses from being ambushed before and after testifying in court. The whole unit keeps a low profile and rarely reveals the details of its work to the outside world, so it is called the "mystery man" of the police force.

The Witness Protection Unit is independent of the daily operation of the police headquarters, directly under the jurisdiction of a specialized senior police officer, and has special resources for renting a "safe house" to accommodate protected witnesses and avoid being "influenced" or hurt by the outside world. A safe house refers to an ordinary house or hotel room rented by the police, which makes witnesses "invisible" before and after appearing in court, and no one can contact them, which affects the trial. After the case is closed, no matter whether the police can prosecute the suspect or not, they will protect the witness for a period of time, and then assess whether the witness needs to be "reformed", such as changing his name and surname, erasing all previous ID information, making him "vanish" and even arranging for him to emigrate to other countries to settle down.

Police officers in the Witness Protection Section have to undergo strict firearms and response training, so that in case of emergency, they can immediately ensure that the protected person can retreat safely at the first time and fight back at the same time. The firearms used by the team members are mainly square Glock automatic pistols and MP5 portable light machine guns, and other equipment may be provided when necessary. In addition to the witness protection unit of the police, the Independent Commission Against Corruption also has similar departments; Hong Kong Customs also plans to set up this unit to protect important witnesses.

Members of the witness protection team of the Third Department had to go through five hurdles and beat six generals during the examination. In addition to physical requirements, on-the-spot reaction is also very important, such as shooting ability, anti-tracking, first aid and self-defense skills. Communication ability is also an important part of evaluation, because only by giving the protected person and his family a sense of security can the witness feel as secure as testifying in court.
