On the 13th, the "National Security Education Day Hong Kong Police Force 180th Anniversary Police College Open Day" organised by the Hong Kong Police Force was held at the Hong Kong Police College. Early in the morning, many Hong Kong citizens rushed to the Police College to participate in the experiential tour, and the atmosphere of the national security education mobilization was very warm.
The police and the public had fun together, and the "little road boy" played games to learn national security knowledge
On the day of the Open Day, four thematic areas were set up on the lawn of the Police College, namely "National Security and Defending the City", "Crossing 180", "Police Companions and Fun" and "Professional New Police Sector". Many children enthusiastically participated in various game experiences to learn about crime prevention and crime, and some children put on uniforms to transform into handsome little police officers, and rode mini police motorcycles to check in and take pictures.
At 10:30 a.m., a spectacular show kicked off the Police College Open Day. After the warm-up of the musical performance, there was a driving performance, a police dog obedience performance, and an anti-terrorism drill by the Special Mission Company (Flying Tigers), the Counter-Terrorism Special Task Force, and the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Team.
After 180 years of ups and downs, the Hong Kong police are "so stylish"
On the day of the Open Day, the Hong Kong Police Force also set up a brand-new "Guoan" train at the venue to showcase the theme of national security to the public in a dynamic way, and held an exhibition to review the history of the Hong Kong Police Force.
The Hong Kong Police Force was established in 1844 and has a history of 180 years. Hong Kong has been hailed as one of the safest cities in the world for many years, and the contribution of the Hong Kong Police Force is indispensable. "Police officers of different generations have also shouldered the great responsibility of protecting the safety of people's lives and property, upholding law and order, and ensuring national security. Commissioner of Police, Siu Chak-yee, said that as one of the major law enforcement agencies of the HKSAR Government, the Force will continue to uphold the national security line. He hoped that the Force would continue to unite as one, fulfill its responsibilities and pursue excellence, and practice "Protecting Our City and Crossing 180" under the new atmosphere of "governance and prosperity".
To commemorate the important milestone of the Force's 180th anniversary, the Hong Kong Police Force also held a time capsule sealing ceremony on the same day, in which the Force's management sealed items with commemorative value and moved them to the Police Headquarters for preservation until the 200th anniversary (i.e. 20 years later), hoping to witness the inheritance of the Force's professionalism with the public.
Mr. Cheung, a Hong Kong citizen, took his wife and children to participate in the open day, and his eldest daughter wore the same uniform as the Force. Mr. Cheung said with a smile: "My daughter has always thought that the Hong Kong police are so stylish, so we bought her a uniform. In our lives, we all feel very safe when we see the police officers around. ”
The first National Security Education Day after the 23 articles were enacted is of great significance
On the same day, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, John Lee, and his wife attended the National Security Education Day and the 180th Anniversary of the Hong Kong Police College Open Day. In his speech, he said that April 15 this year is of special significance to Hong Kong, as this year marks the 10th anniversary of the introduction of the "Overall National Security Concept" and is the first "National Security Education Day" for the whole people after the completion of Article 23 of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
According to reports, in response to the "National Security Education Day", the 18 districts of Hong Kong will hold different types of activities to promote national security knowledge to the public. Lee believes that reminding and educating the public of national security awareness is an important part of the mainstream social values to be established in Hong Kong, and the mainstream social values must be carried forward with patriotism and love for Hong Kong as the core, and are compatible with the "one country, two systems" principle.
The Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mr Cheng Yanxiong, pointed out that the Hong Kong Police Force's combination of the Police College Open Day and the National Security Education Day fully reflects the Force's deep understanding of the Force's major mission of safeguarding national security and Hong Kong's stability, which is an important manifestation of the Force's judgment, comprehension and execution ability to adapt to the mission in the new stage. "I hope that every citizen participating in the event will enhance the relationship between the police and the people, enhance the awareness of the rule of law, increase the feelings of the family and the country through mutual experience and mutual understanding, further understand the truth of national security and good family, integrate the concept of national security into their hearts and put it into action, and jointly be the guardian of national security, the defender of Hong Kong's stability, and the promoter of social development." Zheng Yanxiong said.
