The Junior Police Call (JPC) Annual Parade was held at the Police College on December 3, 2023 after a five-year hiatus. Commissioner cum Honorary Deputy Chief President of JPC Siu Chak-yee was the Reviewing Officer, with the attendance of Deputy Commissioner (Operations) Chow Yat-ming, Director of Operations Chan Tung and Acting Assistant Commissioner (Public Relations) Tsang Shuk-yin. The JPC Annual Parade this year adopted Chinese-style foot drill for the first time. Members of the participating teams dressed in the new JPC uniform to compete for various awards.
In his speech, the Commissioner recognised the hard work and dedication of the participants and thanked the JPC Central Advisory Board, Honorary President Councils of various districts, participating schools, voluntary foot drill instructors and Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation, which sponsored the production of the new JPC uniforms, for their support to the event. He also said that with the 50th anniversary of the JPC Scheme approaching, JPC would continue promoting the participation of young people in community activities to cultivate them to “Be a Leader, Fight Crime Together”.
The second JPC Chinese Flag-raising Competition (Final) was also held on the same day. The six winning teams of the semi-final rounds competed for various awards. More than 100 teams from primary and secondary schools participated in the competition.
Since 2022, JPC has arranged for voluntary foot drill instructors to visit primary and secondary schools and teach students Chinese-style foot drills and flag-raising as a means to enhance students’ understanding of the national flag, national anthem and etiquette of flag-raising. More than 2 000 teachers and students in primary and secondary schools have been trained so far. JPC will continue organising various activities in the future to nurture young people to become pillars of our country and society.
