To address the local community's concern on the newly opened bars and restaurants might create nuisances, Western District (WDIST) has rolled out a community-based scheme known as "Project Drink Peace" (PDP) and hosted two workshops in English and Cantonese on October 6 and 7 respectively for catering business operators.

Western Division Miscellaneous Enquires Sub-unit Commander Chow Pui-man introduced the PDP to the participants and gave an update on the laws on operating bars and restaurants. Following it was a briefing on crime prevention given by an officer from the Regional Crime Prevention Office of Hong Kong Island Region.

During the sharing sessions of the workshops, most of the participants offered favourable comments on the PDP and appreciated the police's initiative.
