A Public Security Bureau (often called a PSB) is a type of government office in China. Think of them like the main police stations in cities and towns. They help keep people safe and make sure everyone follows the rules.
Smaller offices are called Police Posts. These are a bit like the small police boxes you might see in Japan, called Kōban. They are local points where people can go for help or information.
