In 1992, the Society for Police Research was organized at the Institute and on its territory. Together with the Society, the Institute serves as the main channel for international exchange, regularly sends delegations to study foreign experience and organizes mutual visits and internships for personnel. These delegations, according to some reports, provide assistance in organizing the purchase of equipment, creating joint manufacturing enterprises and sharing intelligence information with foreign police and intelligence services.

Together with the Society, the monthly journal "Policing Studies" is published, which is the leading theoretical journal in the field of social sciences of the ministry. It is devoted to the study of the organization of police systems abroad. Almost every issue contains at least one report on the foreign trip of the Chinese delegation. These reports are the primary source of information on foreign police practices and trends in forensic science. The Institute’s leadership also believes that these “contacts contribute to the propaganda of the Chinese police abroad and expand its influence in the global police community”71. Of perhaps greater interest to foreign analysts is the monthly Bureau Chief's Forum, a collection of articles by provincial public security bureau chiefs and other senior officials.

Since its creation, one of the main functions of the Institute has been to inform the leadership about the country's social problems. For this purpose, numerous large projects related to public opinion polls are being implemented, for example, studying the attitude of society and the police to public order. Through such projects, the Institute has made a great contribution to improving the existing system of indicators for statistics of public order and security.

The Institute has a small staff of 30 people (according to 1991 data), more than half of whom are translators.
