It appears that CAPF is or was an official abbreviation used by the organization, but in English at least, it's now usually abbreviated PAP.

1) 武警使用新的英文简称PAP。
目前武警比较通用的英文简称是CAPF,出现在07式军服衬里、肩章底板、车辆涂装上,但是国宾车队的简称又是PAPF了,现在又统一成PAP。估计是和PLA对应。

2) Articles in English referring to the organization:
"The Chinese security state has since evolved; after 1989, the government beefed up the People’s Armed Police, its national gendarmerie, as well as the less prestigious “people’s police” (public security organs plus intelligence)."

"Thirty years after the events of Tiananmen, the internal security mission remains of central importance to the Chinese government. However, it is the People’s Armed Police (PAP,中国人民武装警察部队) and not the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) that now has primary responsibility for this task, and it is a force – like the PLA – undergoing significant change."

"They can be seen guarding Zhongnanhai (中南海), the residence of the Chinese leaders, checking passports at border posts, fighting fires, cruising in their cars or working on the site of the Three Gorges Dam Project. They are all members of the People's Armed Police (人民武裝警察部隊, PAP)."

"The CAPF acts as a major force in safeguarding national security, social stability, and the people's well-being."

3) Wp uses "PAP" throughout its article:
"The Chinese People's Armed Police Force (abbreviated: PAP) is a Chinese paramilitary organization ..." and CAPF does not appear anywhere in it.
