The move is part of a "plan of rescuing single police officers" launched by the Wuhou public security bureau in Chengdu of Sichuan province, according to the report.

The micro blog has become the most popular Weibo among the police services in China, the report said.

The site has more than 2,000 followers seeking to date the gun-toting officers, but many complain the officers only come online during their afternoon break or after a night shift, the report said.

One woman cited in the report said: "they are all so handsome. It's hard to choose who my favorite is. Just sign me in."

Shi Yi, vice director of the political department of the bureau, said the activity aims to help single officers find girlfriends as their working hours are unstable which make it hard for them to meet girls.

The activity will conclude on Tuesday and only five singles have been chosen on Weibo as they work far from home, the report said.

Shi said he didn't know if any of them has a date yet, "it all depends on them," he said.
