To enhance frontline supervisory officers’ counter-terrorism (CT) awareness and capabilities, the Security Wing (SW) organised a two-day CT Foundation Course (CTFC) between August 8 and 9 and a three-day CT Advanced Course between August 21 and 23 for officers who had completed CTFC. The two courses were participated by 37 inspectorate officers.

In addition to inviting speakers from various Force CT units and the member departments of Inter-departmental Counter Terrorism Unit to share their expertise and experiences, the courses also engaged participants in a scenario-based field exercise conducted jointly with the Counter Terrorism Response and Exercise Division of Operations Wing, as well as multiple site visits, to enable participants to effectively apply CT theory and knowledge to practical scenarios.
