In an effort to curb the number of suicides from Nanhu Bridge in the Chaoyang District of Changchun City, the Jilin authorities are soon to launch two ‘electronic police’ officers in the capital city.
Two "electronic police officers" containing video cameras will be used to patrol the Nanhu bridge where more than 20 people committed suicide each year.
The steel machines, painted to resemble a male and a female police officer, are expected to discourage troubled people from jumping from the bridge.
Each metal officer can spin around 360 degrees and has a special base meant to thwart would-be thieves or vandals. Reflector belts will provide identification at night.
The male machine stands 2 meters tall, the female 1.8 meters. They contain alarms, pinhole cameras and speakers so human police can communicate with people planning to suicide.
