Operations Wing of Kowloon East Region (OPS KE) conducted a regional tabletop exercise, codenamed “BOLTRUNNER”, on December 3, 2020, with the participation of OPS KE and all police districts in the Region. The exercise simulated both pre-planned and ad hoc public order events that occurred in the Region that required timely deployment.

The exercise aimed to test the coordination of KE Higher Command and District Operation Rooms, with emphasis on assessment, planning, decision-making and the use of Command and Control Communications System and the e-log system as means of communication. The exercise enhanced officers’ capability in running command centres which greatly improved the readiness and operational competency of the Region in handling public order events.
