The Inter-departmental Counter Terrorism Unit (ICTU) successfully held its first-ever “Safe Community Roadshow”.  Running over two consecutive weekends on February 15-16 and 22-23 at Tuen Mun Town Plaza and Metro City Plaza II in Tseung Kwan O, the event attracted a total of over 12,200 participants.

The roadshow featured six innovative interactive games and multiple photo spots, providing participants with an immersive experience to enhance their understanding of key counter-terrorism (CT) messages, such as “Spot and Report” and “Run, Hide, Report”.  These activities aimed to strengthen public awareness of emergency preparedness and promote self-protection skills.

During the event, participants engaged in simulated real-life scenario to sharpen their observational skills and learn how to identify suspicious objects.  The “Spot and Report” game also allowed them to try reporting suspicious activities through WeChat mini-programme.  Amongst the various interactive experiences, the “Hide From Danger” game was particularly well received.  Participants had to avoid the suspicious figure’s line of sight and take cover, reinforcing their ability to apply the “Run, Hide, Report” advisory effectively in emergency situations.

In the near future, ICTU will continue to organise a variety of activities across the community and schools to promote CT awareness, aiming to work hand in hand with the members of the public to build a safe community together.
