The security implementation has been divided into four phrases: pre-preparation, construction, adjustment and implementation.

Followed by the adjustment phrase from January to June 2008, the security system will be ready for implementation when the Olympics Games started in July 2008.

During the construction stage, Beijing's public security will focus on establishing ten defense systems for the Olympics such as the structural command system, intelligence collection system and warning assessment system. Other safety infrastructures will also be built around the Games venues.
