The Force held its first exchange session themed “Prevention of Juvenile Crime” with school sponsoring bodies (SSB) on July 19. The session aimed to enhance collaboration between the Force and SSB, to prevent students and youth from going astray or becoming victims of various cases, and to explore further room of collaboration between both parties.

Commissioner Siu Chak-yee attended and presided over the session to communicate with more than 50 representatives from 20 SSB. Public Relations (PR) Wing officers briefed the participants on information and data related to juvenile crime, and showed publicity videos produced by the Force for preventing juvenile crime. The video topics include drug trafficking, naked chat and compensated dating scams. SSB representatives expressed their opinions proactively, such as providing effective ways for publicising information on deception and crime prevention.

PR Wing officers also introduced the new strategy of Junior Police Call (JPC), “IDEAS @JPC”, and messages about JPC school clubs and future activities. Representatives of SSB expressed that the session helped the Force and SSB set goals together to prevent juvenile crime with joined hands.

The Force strengthens collaboration with school sponsoring bodies through the exchange session.
