Crime Prevention Bureau(CPB)

For policing purposes, Hong Kong is split into six separate and distinct police regions as shown in the map below :

Map of Regions


Each Police Region has several Crime Prevention Officers based at District Police Stations. In addition, there is a Regional Crime Prevention Officer (RCPO), who is responsible for co-ordinating the Crime Prevention work in that Region.

The RCPO heads a Regional Crime Prevention Unit (RCPU). RCPUs are responsible for identifying local crime trends or crime black spots, and organising crime prevention campaigns and initiatives to remove or reduce these problems. Additionally, they visit crime victims or those most at risk from crime, to offer advice or perform security surveys.

RCPUs also visit local schools, residents' associations, and outside organisations to give talks or presentations on all aspects of crime prevention.
