     He encouraged JPC members to fulfill three roles, including "Anti-drug Ambassadors" — to say "no" to drugs and help disseminate anti-drug messages; "Fight Crime Partners" — to promote crime prevention messages and enhance law-abiding awareness in the society; and "Youth Leaders" — to enhance leadership skills and broaden horizons, as well as serving Hong Kong and the country through practical actions.

It also helps them build positive values while enhancing their perseverance, team spirit and leadership skills. The summer camp this year, attracting over 200 JPC members, features competitive games incorporating police knowledge and investigative elements, as well as adventure-based challenges.
