Security Advisory Section

Crime Matters

Crime Prevention Bureau(CPB)

The Security Advisory Section is responsible for conducting security surveys of sensitive premises such as police and other government facilities. Surveys can include both physical and/or procedural security, with an emphasis on providing practical and risk-proportionate advice.

The Security Advisory Section is also able to offer security advice on a wide range of topics. For example, a dedicated Security Advisory Officer can offer advice on Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), wherein architects and planners are encouraged to incorporate security concepts into the design of new government complex prior to their construction, rather than adding expensive security options later.

The section enjoys close liaison and cooperation with many different groups and sectors of the business community including the security, banking, insurance, hotels, logistics and transport industries. The Security Advisory Section is also responsible for analysing crime trends in order to determine crime prevention strategies.





Training & Support

The Training & Support Team provides customised security awareness training programmes on various topics to government departments, the commercial sector and other organisations that request assistance from the Bureau. It also organises training for serving crime prevention officers, as well as providing administrative support to CPB Headquarters personnel.





Publicity

The Publicity Team is responsible for publicity on crime prevention matters. This responsibility includes the preparation and design of publicity materials. The team works closely with the Public Relations Wing especially where TV and Radio publicity is involved. The team is also responsible for the Crime Prevention Bureau Robotcop, which is a popular attraction at schools and carnivals across Hong Kong, passing crime prevention messages to both children and other members of the public. Also, a well equipped security product display rooms was maintained in the New Territories North Regional office in Tuen Mun.
