About 220 JPC members participated in the camp, which had been extended from two days and one night to four days and three nights to provide more opportunities for participants to experience various activities. This year, the activities included group adventure training and competitive games with elements of policing knowledge and investigation to enhance the participants’ resilience and team spirit, as well as promoting crime fighting and prevention messages among JPC members.

In his speech, S for S mentioned that this year marked the 50th anniversary of JPC. He recalled different stages of his journey with the JPC, from his initial role as a member to his current role as the Chief Honorary President. He was happy to see JPC echo with the country’s development direction of “new quality productive forces” by organising more technology-related activities for young people to cultivate their innovative thinking. ACP PR said in his speech that JPC had organised nearly 30 exchange tours this summer for over 1 000 members to visit various Mainland cities. He hoped that all sectors of society would keep joining hands to cultivate more outstanding youths who will “Be a Leader - Fight Crime Together”.
