Tuen Mun Fight Crime Carnival draws wide support
The Tuen Mun District Fight Crime Committee held the Tuen Mun Fight Crime Carnival cum Award Presentation Ceremony at Tuen Mun Cultural Square on January 15, with the coordination of Tuen Mun District (TMDIST). New Territories North Regional Commander Austin Kerrigan and TMDIST Commander Choy Kin-cheung officiated at the event.
The theme of the carnival was dissemination of messages on fighting Internet fraud, theft and drugs. At the carnival, various police Formations set up game booths and staged various performances, including Commercial Crime Bureau, Narcotics Bureau, Police Tactical Unit, Emergency Unit New Territories North, Traffic New Territories North, Crime Prevention Bureau, and Police Dog Unit. The Police Painting and Calligraphy Club and Police Handicraft Club also pitched in at the carnival.
Last year, TMDIST and Tuen Mun District Fight Crime Committee worked closely in launching various promotional activities, including Secondary and Primary Schools Anti-Crime Roadside Publicity Board Design Competition, Secondary and Primary Schools Beat Drugs Drama and Slogan Contest and Year-end Winter Precaution Anti-Crime Publicity Campaign.
Meanwhile, police officers, security guards and citizens who helped fight crime in Tuen Mun District last year were commended through the "Commendable Police Officer Scheme", "The Best Security Guard Award" and the "Good Citizen of the Year Award". TMDIST has enlisted the participation of different organisations in publicity initiatives such as "Project X" which disseminated fight crime messages in collaboration with Lingnan University and organisations in different districts.
Forty-three groups of police officers from TMDIST, Regional Crime Prevention Office New Territories North (Tuen Mun Office), Emergency Unit New Territories North and Special Duties Squad of Yuen Long District have been nominated by the public for the "Commendable Police Officer Scheme". After selection by the Tuen Mun District Fight Crime Committee, 15 groups received certificates from Mr Kerrigan and Mr Choy for their outstanding efforts in fighting crimes in Tuen Mun District last year.
