Central Public Security Comprehensive Management Commission

Its functions go from setting major policies of social management, to coordinating all national and local work on this field, and even to dispatching central cadres to guide or control local work. ==Evolution==

It was known as Central Commission for the Comprehensive Management of Public Security () before its reorganization in September 2011 under Zhou Yongkang, when it became known as the Central Commission for Comprehensive Social Management (), and saw a commensurate increase of its jurisdiction and broadened powers. The head of the commission, Zhou, was also a member of the elite Politburo Standing Committee (PSC). However, in October 2014, the commission reverted to its former name of Central Commission for the Comprehensive Management of Public Security and its corresponding expansion of powers were also rescinded. Zhou Yongkang fell into political disgrace after his retirement and many of the institutions that spawned under his watch were reined in the new power structure under Xi Jinping. Meng Jianzhu assumed the office of chairman in 2012 as the concurrent Secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission and a member of the Politburo; Meng was not a member of the PSC. Under the plan on deepening the reform of the Party and state institutions, the Central Public Security Comprehensive Management Commission was abolished, and the functions were merged to the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission in March 2018. == List of chairmen ==
