To deepen ‘Police-bank co-operation’ and raise the banking sectors’ anti-scam awareness, Mong Kok District (MKDIST) invited a delegation from Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited to pay a visit to Mong Kok Police Station and attend the anti-scam exchange sessions on September 28, October 8 and 13 respectively.

Officers of Task Force Sub-unit and District Intelligence Section, together with a “money laundering expert” of MKDIST trained by Financial Intelligence and Investigation Bureau, briefed the participants on the trend and modus operandi of deception case. An e-Platform has also been established with the delegation to facilitate the dissemination of the latest crime messages and intelligence exchange between the Force and the bank. The delegation also visited Mong Kok Police Station and Emergency Unit Operational Base of Kowloon West Region. The activity narrowed the gap between the Force and the public, and enhanced the participants’ understanding of police work.

The Force will keep enhancing the vigilance and sensitivity of frontline bank staff in dealing with various kinds of deception case and identifying potential victims as early as possible to halt deception cases.

MKDIST enhances exchange with banks.
