units
The award presentation ceremony of the first-ever "Kowloon West Region Thematic Video Clip Competition to Reiterate the Importance of Frontline Units" was held at Police Sports and Recreation Club on April 2.

"It was my honour to participate in such a meaningful event", said Dr Lo at the award presentation ceremony. "As an expert in filming, I'm totally amazed by the talents of police officers in producing these near-professional videos. As an ordinary citizen, I really feel the people in Hong Kong are in good hands as the characters depicted in these videos have truly convinced me that the men and women in the Hong Kong Police Force are professionals who will go the extra mile in serving the community," Dr Lo added.
Also speaking at the ceremony, Mr Fan emphasised the importance of the Force Strategic Directions in boosting the capabilities of officers and supporting frontline units in meeting the challenges posed by an ever-changing society.
