The Crime Prevention Bureau (CPB) participated in the Asian Securitex Conference 2022 held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre between November 16 and 18.
The conference attracted more than a thousand security practitioners. The soaring cyber, infrastructure and personal safety risks have thrust security issues into the spotlight, and security issues in the community have become social concern. Thus, the Asian Securitex Conference invited the Force and a number of international security associations to explore modern technologies and trends and to help stakeholders assess their vulnerabilities, modify response protocols and manage risks in advance. Hot topics such as cybercrime, security procedure and technology in the post-pandemic world, the era of artificial intelligence and Hong Kong Qualification Framework were covered in the conference.
As a member of the conference’s organising committee, the CPB, in collaboration with the Cyber, Security and Technology Crime Bureau (CSTCB) and Anti-Deception Coordination Centre, set up booths in the venue to show publicity and public educational video clips produced by various formations. The video clips covered a wide range of issues, from cyber security and types of scams to anti-burglary, the aim of which is to disseminate crime and scam prevention messages, with a view to reminding participants to beware of crimes. Officers from CPB distributed crime prevention publicity leaflets and provided insights on crime and scam prevention to participants.
The conference also invited senior inspector of CSTCB Yeung Pak-ho to explain the latest trends of technology crimes. The participants responded positively to the Force’s active participation in the conference. The Force will keep enhancing the exchange of information and ideas in crime prevention with stakeholders and working partners of the security industry.
