The Hong Kong Police Force today (April 28) held the Junior Police Call 45th Anniversary Open Day launching ceremony at JPC@Pat Heung.

     Officiating at the ceremony, the Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Matthew Cheung Kin-chung, praised the Junior Police Call (JPC) as a key player in mobilising youth development and its initiatives echoed with the Government’s youth policy. JPC@Pat Heung has provided leadership and personal growth training to over 40,000 local and ethnic minority youths since its opening in 2017.

     Also speaking at the event, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Lo Wai-chung, said the Force always spares no effort in youth development. The Force would continue to enhance the JPC scheme with a view to nurturing its members to become fight crime leaders and role models of the youth.

     The open day offered a rich diversity of programmes, including a joint counter terrorism exercise as well as Police Band and Police Dog Unit performances. There were also display of special Police vehicles and uniforms in different eras. Some 20 exhibitions and game booths were also set up by various Police units, JPC members, arts and sports clubs for visitors.

     In addition, visitors could also take part in activities such as zipline, rope course, mini-Police uniform photographing, laser gun shooting, horse riding, and Dialogue in the Dark, experiencing the services and facilities of JPC@Pat Heung. The JPC History Museum, which was officially opened today, presented the development of JPC with a 13-metre interactive wall.

     Today’s open day is one of the highlights of the Hong Kong Police Force 175th Anniversary celebration, attracting the participation of more than 4,000 visitors. Other celebratory events include open days of police buildings, publication of a commemorative book, and release of special stamps.
