A number of Senior Police Call (SPC) members have been offering guided tours for "Tai Kwun 101" exhibition in June, July and September. The exhibition is held jointly by the Hong Kong Jockey Club and the Hong Kong Police Force to showcase 101 objects related to the Central Police Station Compound as well as old stories about the historic buildings. The event also coincides with the 175th anniversary of the Force.


The Police Public Relations Branch (PPRB) made arrangements for some SPC members to attend a docent training programme held earlier by the School of Professional and Continuing Education of The University of Hong Kong. This helped equip the SPC members with knowledge and skills of docents. On top of that, the PPRB collaborated with the Antiquities and Monuments Office to run another training course for the SPC Docents to enrich their knowledge of the history and culture of police stations that have been declared historic buidings.


Following the training, the SPC Docents guide the visitors to discover the fascinating tales behind the objects on display in the three zones of the Duplex Studio at Tai Kwun. Visitors can also explore the relationship between people and objects through a character handbook and site-wide interactive installations.
