Officers of the Regional Crime Prevention Office of New Territories North (RCPO NTN) and the Police Community Relations Office of Tuen Mun District (PCRO TMDIST) visited Lingnan Institute of Further Education and met with the personnel of its Student Affairs Office in early September to discuss the arrangements for an orientation session on crime prevention for students and teaching staff in the new academic year.
The orientation session would put special emphasis on the common modus operandi of telephone deception and cyber scams, so as to keep the teaching staff and students abreast of the ever-changing approaches of scammers and disseminate comprehensive crime prevention information to them.
In addition, RCPO NTN would continue to collaborate with the institute to recruit students of “Diploma Yi Jin in Disciplinary Forces Programme” who are interested in joining the Force to enrol in the “Lingnan Institute of Further Education Yi Jin-Police Youth Volunteer Scheme” organised by RCPO NTN, with a view to strengthening the students’ knowledge of law and police work. This year, the institute also invited RCPO NTN, TMDIST and the Recruitment Division to give a sharing session to students of “Higher Diploma in Disciplinary Forces Programme” to introduce police work as well as to provide tips for preparing for the recruitment exercise of the Force.
The meeting ended with a briefing given by the representatives of the Force on the latest modus operandi of cyber scams and telephone deception, which not only raised the teaching staff’s awareness of crime prevention and internet safety, but also strengthened communication and collaboration between the Force and the institute.
