The symposium covered key topics including combatting deepfake-related crimes, cross-border police cooperation, and application of AI and drone in policing work. The organiser selected 29 high-quality research papers, which were presented across five specialised sessions. The number of research papers selected from the Hong Kong delegation has increased from three previously to five, and they were presented by several Senior Inspectors. Director of the Police College (College) Chan Yee-lai chaired the second plenary session whilst Deputy Director (2) of the College
