Deputy Commissioner of Police encourages graduates to shoulder responsibility of safeguarding national security (with photos)

2026-09-12 14:41:16

The Deputy Commissioner of Police (National Security), Mr Kan Kai-yan, today (September 12) inspected the passing-out parade of 17 probationary inspectors and 110 recruit police constables at the Hong Kong Police College, witnessing their successful completion of rigorous training and the official commencement of their police careers. He encouraged the graduates to give full play to the Force’s spirit of striving for excellence and rising to challenges.

Addressing the ceremony, Mr Kan said that security is the prerequisite for development. The promulgation and implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance have restored order from chaos, bringing society back on the right track for security and development. However, national security challenges have become more invisible, complex and volatile. External forces have never ceased meddling in Hong Kong affairs, and individuals and organisations with ulterior motives use various "soft resistance" means to smear the governance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government, attempting to spread messages inciting hatred against the Central Authorities and the HKSAR Government. The Force must not let its guard down. Apart from combatting crimes, it should prevent ideological infiltration and shoulder the significant responsibility of safeguarding national security.

Mr Kan hoped that the graduates, in performing their police duties in the future, would keep the law in mind — even if confronted with challenges, pressure and temptation during law enforcement, act in accordance with the law, strictly adhere to the principle that "laws must be obeyed and lawbreakers be held accountable", impartially safeguard people's interests and uphold national security; keep ears to the ground — stay alert at all times during daily patrols and case handling, and employ sensitivity in identifying threats to nib national security risks in the bud; and bear the nation on shoulders — apart from combatting acts endangering national security in accordance with the law, proactively spread national security messages to help the public understand clearly that "the security of our homes is premised on that of our motherland".

He said that what gave him most pride and satisfaction in his 35-year police career was the comradeship of working side by side with his colleagues through thick and thin. He hoped the graduates would bear in mind that they are never alone when discharging their police duties. The trust and bonds forged in adversity with their fellow colleagues will help them continue to stride ahead.

Police National Security Department arrests two men and one woman

2026-09-05 13:18:30

     Police noticed that on the evening of August 31, some people were standing outside MTR Prince Edward Station holding bouquets and shouting seditious slogans. The persons concerned were suspected of spreading false information and attacking the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government with lies, as well as smearing the Police Force, with the intention of inciting hatred against the HKSAR Government and law enforcement agencies.

     The National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police Force took enforcement actions in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon on September 3 and arrested three persons for the offence of "doing an act that has a seditious intention with a seditious intention" under Section 24 of the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, including two local men and one local woman, aged between 33 and 79. Prior to the operation, Police obtained court search warrants to search the residences of the arrested persons and seize relevant exhibits. All arrested persons are being detained for further enquiries, while the Police arrest operation is still ongoing.

     Police stressed that the so-called "831 incident" has been proven without factual basis. It is a lie manipulated by persons with ulterior motives to spread lies, attack the HKSAR Government and smear the Police Force, attempting to achieve their political objectives by endangering public peace. The acts concerned are suspected of breaching "doing an act that has a seditious intention with a seditious intention", which is a serious crime. Offenders shall be liable to imprisonment for seven years on first conviction.

     Police will continue to ensure that laws are observed and strictly enforced to bring offenders to account, so as to prevent, suppress and impose punishment for acts and activities endangering national security.

BugHunting Campaign 2026 opens for applications (with photo)

2026-09-01 13:19:04

The BugHunting Campaign 2026, co-organised by the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau of the Hong Kong Police Force and Cyberbay, a local crowdsourced cybersecurity vulnerability detection platform, opens for registration today (September 1). The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data is the event’s Strategic Partner.

Launched in 2023, the BugHunting Campaign seeks to mitigate cybersecurity challenges stemming from rapid advancement of digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) by offering free vulnerability detection services to a broad range of local organisations and enhancing their capacity to recognise and respond effectively to AI-related risks.

The 2026 campaign will run from October this year through February next year. In addition to continuing its support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the campaign invites participation from organisations across diverse sectors and categories, with the objective of strengthening Hong Kong’s overall cybersecurity resilience. In the 2025 campaign, a total of 185 organisations participated, resulting in the successful identification of 223 system vulnerabilities.

With the extensive application of AI, a number of organisations have begun implementing Agentic AI solutions that possess the capacity to autonomously plan tasks, invoke tools, and integrate across multiple systems. Such deployments, however, may give rise to new risks. BugHunting Campaign 2026 will continue to adopt a bug bounty-based vulnerability detection model, intergrating AI-assisted screening technologies with the expertise of cybersecurity professionals to provide free vulnerability detection services for participating organisations. Security reviews will be conducted on AI-enabled applications, including chatbots, workflow automation, internal knowledge bases and tool-using AI agents. These measures will enable the organisations to identify risks at an early stage, thereby mitigating the risk of data leakage and exposure to cyber attacks.

The co-organiser, Cyberbay, will continue to adopt a real-name identity and credential verification mechanism that aligns with banking-grade security standards. All recruited cybersecurity professionals will be required to undergo technical assessments and background checks. Only those who are qualified will be permitted to deliver vulnerability detection services to participating organisations.

Participating organisations will receive comprehensive assessment reports together with complimentary one-on-one professional consultation services to facilitate a clear understanding of the findings and the implementation of recommended improvements, including security configuration, internal governance and risk controls for agentic AI deployments. In addition, employees of participating organisations may receive cybersecurity awareness training designed to strengthen their information security awareness and response capability, with particular emphasis on identifying AI-generated content, mitigating deepfake-related risks, and increasing vigilance against social engineering and investment scams.

BugHunting Campaign 2026 is now open for registration until October 31. SMEs and organisations are welcome to participate. Further details of the campaign and registration arrangements are available on the relevant websites: (cyberdefender.hk/en-us/bughuntingcampaign2026/) and (cyberbay.tech/bughunting-campaign-2026).

He said that this year marks the beginning of the National 15th Five-Year Plan and that the country's development creates boundless opportunities for young people. Citing the example of Dr Lai Ka-ying, Hong Kong's first payload expert participating in the Shenzhou-23 manned spaceflight mission, Mr Tang encouraged JPC members to seize opportunities, pursue their dreams with courage, and contribute to the country and Hong Kong in different capacities in the future.

The annual JPC Summer Camp lasts four days and three nights. More than 200 members are taking part this year. Under the theme "Exploring a New Chapter", the camp features diversified activities and training, including competitions incorporated with policing knowledge and investigative elements, as well as adventure-based exercises, with an aim of supporting young participants to achieve breakthroughs and grow, drawing their attention to anti-drug and anti-crime messages, and providing them with positive education to strengthen their teamwork and leadership skills.

     The delegation visited the Police Human Resources Development Institute and the Korean National Police University on July 28 to learn about the latest developments in police training, leadership development, and professional education by the Korean police, and to exchange experiences on talent cultivation and modern policing management.

     On July 29, the delegation met with the Acting Commissioner General of the Korean National Police Agency, Mr Yoo Jae-sung, to share insights on law enforcement issues of mutual concern and to explore opportunities for further deepening collaboration. Following the meeting, Mr Chow and Mr Yoo, representing the HKPF and the KNPA respectively, signed an MOU to establish a co-operation framework to strengthen joint efforts against cross-border crimes, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, cybercrime, and money laundering, while fostering intelligence exchange, capacity building, and professional training. The MOU will further enhance both sides' capability to address the challenges posed by regional and international crime.

     The HKPF and the KNPA signed an MOU in 2015 and have since maintained close co-operation in areas including anti-deception efforts, large-scale event management, and police capacity building. The signing of the new agreement underscores both sides' commitment to deepening collaboration in addressing emerging crime trends. Beyond enhancing public safety and crime-fighting capabilities in both jurisdictions, the agreement will leverage the partners' networks to build a broader platform for law enforcement co-operation across the Asia-Pacific region.

     In the afternoon, the delegation visited the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency and the cybercrime investigation unit to learn about the latest local policing work and developments, as well as the most up-to-date strategies for combating technology crimes and addressing emerging cyber threats.
