In view of the class suspension due to the outbreak of COVID-19, Shatin Junior Police Call (Shatin JPC) introduced Project “CampusClick” to enable students to continue learning at home. Custom-made animations were uploaded to e-learning platforms of schools and YouTube channel to enhance students’ knowledge.

The first phase of Project “CampusClick” includes three animations, namely “Online Shopping Scams”, “Safety of Electric Mobility Devices and Bicycles” and “Cyber-bullying”. Each animation has two versions, one for primary schools and one for secondary schools.

The first animation, a joint production by the Police Community Relations Office of Shatin District and the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau, aims to raise the awareness of face mask scams among students and parents. Within three weeks, the hit rate of the animation on Shatin JPC’s YouTube channel exceeded 10 000. After viewing the animation, students can take part in a quiz and those who have answered the questions correctly will have a chance to get prizes sponsored by Shatin JPC Honorary Presidents Council. The Honorary Presidents Council will also donate face masks and anti-epidemic supplies to schools with active participation. Over 2 700 primary four to six students in Shatin have participated in the quiz so far.

Chairman of Shatin JPC Honorary Presidents Council Mr Wong Wai-yue appreciated the interactive approach which allows students to receive crime prevention and road safety messages at home. Mr Wong hoped that similar publicity initiatives could be extended to schools in other districts so as to establish new channels to reach out to youths.

The first animation is also broadcast at lobbies of public housing estates, on the intranet of the Hospital Authority and a scam prevention platform of a caller identification mobile application.
