According to the 2019 annual evaluation report on guangzhou's urban conditions and citizens, the satisfaction degree of "social security" in guangzhou is 86%, ranking the first in the evaluation of "people's livelihood security" and reaching the highest level in history.

Since 1990, the public opinion research center of guangzhou social situation has carried out the tracking survey of "evaluation of guangzhou city conditions by citizens" every year, and carried out the special survey of social security regularly. Up to now, there have been more than 20 times, and the survey results have timely reflected the demands and expectations of guangzhou citizens. According to liang xingzhi, director general of the guangzhou social situation public opinion research center, in the 1990s, social security was one of the most concerned social issues among guangzhou residents. Since the beginning of this century, people's dissatisfaction with social security has declined.

Around 2009, the public's evaluation showed an improvement, and their satisfaction exceeded their dissatisfaction. During this decade, the public opinion research center of guangzhou social situation regularly carried out special investigations on public security, and conducted public opinion research on social situation in many aspects, such as people's "evaluation of public security in guangzhou", "evaluation of police work", "security situation" and "violation situation".

Studies show that from 2003 to 2005, guangzhou citizens to "social security" evaluation is not high, the main reason is that as the guangzhou high-speed economic growth, rapid flow of people, goods, content, to some extent to attract some of the illegal crime molecules, at a time when the police is still exploring the construction of new predominant control dealing mechanism, causes to steal, steal, rob small type of crime against property. With the innovation of social mechanism, such as the establishment of auxiliary police and other auxiliary forces for public security, we should mobilize and give full play to the role of various social forces to maintain public security and pay attention to the whole process of the management of floating population. At the same time, the public awareness of participation has been gradually enhanced, and the joint efforts of various social organizations, enterprises and institutions, as well as residents' organizations in villages, towns and streets have effectively turned the situation of public security in guangzhou around, and promoted the public's perception of public security to be significantly better. Public satisfaction with "social security" showed a steady rise in the following years of 2010. In 2015, satisfaction exceeded 50% for the first time, reaching 51%. 67 percent in 2017, 74 percent in 2018 and 86 percent in 2019, reaching the highest level in history. And in terms of people's livelihood security significantly higher than other indicators.

This is mainly due to guangzhou's efforts to create a social governance pattern of "co-construction, co-governance and Shared benefits" in recent years. Thanks to the extensive use of high-tech means such as the "six integrated" public security prevention and control system and "smart new policing", the construction of the public security prevention and control system has been further strengthened, resulting in a record high level of public satisfaction.
