Tuen Mun District (TMDIST) has launched a "Smart Tactical Unit (STU)" programme in the secondary schools in Tuen Mun for the sixth year, attracting the participation of 120 students, including more than 10 Non-ethnic Chinese from five secondary schools. 

 

This year, over 50 police volunteers took part in providing eight lessons of training on foot drill, team building and mountaineering competition. The students were encouraged to show their talents in different areas so that they would become more independent and have more confidence of themselves. The activities also instilled self-discipline and proper values among the students.

 

To motivate the students, TMDIST Police Community Relations Office invited Station Sergeant Tse Kwok-keung to act as a judge for a foot drill competition. After four months' training, the students showed a great improvement in both physique and discipline.

 

The "STU 2014" prize presentation ceremony took place on May 17. Officiating at the ceremony were Chairman of Tuen Mun District JPC Honourary Presidents Council, Mr Yeung Siu-wai, Chairman of Tuen Mun District Fight Crime Committee, Mr Chow Kam-cheung, Chairman of Tuen Mun District Primary School Heads Association, Ms Tsang Ka-lai, Chairman of Tuen Mun Federation of Parent-Teacher Association, Ms Emily Suen, Castle Peak Divisional Commander, Superintendent Ngan Yuen-yee, and Tuen Mun Assistant District Commander (Auxiliary), Superintendent Liu Ka-sing. The officiating guests, school principals and teachers highly commended the police volunteers for their dedication to steering the students in the right direction.
