Hong Kong Island (HKI) Regional Commander Yu Tat-chung appointed members of the third term of the Teens and Elderly Mission Committee (TEMC) in an inauguration ceremony at the Police Headquarters on July 28 to further engage the community in preventing and combating crime.

With the full support of TEMC, the HKI Regional Crime Prevention Office (RCPO) officially launched the "Project Elite Crime Prevention Ambassador" at the ceremony.
