The Intruder Alarm Inspection Unit (IAIU) of the Crime Prevention Bureau (CPB) ran two workshops on August 12 and 19 to urge the security sector to improve the reliability of their alarm systems so as to reduce the number of false alarms. The workshops attracted the attendance of 44 practitioners, including supervisors and frontline operators from 17 Central Alarm Monitor Stations (CAMS).

Meanwhile, the CPB gave four briefings to officers of the New Territories Regional Command and Control Centres (RCCC) in September about the Police Phased Response to Intruder Alarms as well as the role of the IAIU in preventing crime and reducing false alarms. Briefings will also be conducted for RCCCs of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.
