What department is Jing OA?
2 Answers
License plates with the prefix "Jing OA" are issued by the Ministry of Public Security. Relevant information is as follows: Introduction to license plates of various departments: Blue license plates with "Jing OA" are administrative vehicles of the Ministry of Public Security, "Jing OB" are administrative vehicles of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau system, "Jing OD" are administrative vehicles of the Beijing Traffic Police Corps, and "Jing OE" are administrative vehicles of public security departments in systems such as railways, civil aviation, transportation, and forestry in Beijing. Categories of Beijing vehicle license plates: There are 18 types of vehicle license plates used in Beijing, ranging from A to Y, divided into 9 major regional categories, including central state organs, taxis, motorcycles, commercial vehicles, urban areas, suburban areas, garrison commands, police vehicles, and vehicles used by foreigners.
I remember coming across this when researching license plate codes before. The 'Jing OA' plates are specifically for administrative vehicles of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. The 'Jing' prefix represents Beijing, the 'O' is an exclusive identifier for the public security system, and the following 'A' specifically refers to the municipal bureau level. These vehicles are mainly used for daily official duties, such as meetings for leaders or logistical coordination, and unlike police cars, they don’t have police lights or sirens. You can often see such vehicles near Chang'an Avenue and major government offices, usually without police markings but bearing special plates. Other letters like 'Jing OB' are for vehicles of the Traffic Management Bureau, and 'Jing OC' for district bureaus. With the reform of official vehicles, new public security vehicles now use regular civilian plates, but the old 'Jing OA' plates are still in use.
