On the eve of the National Security Education Day in 2026, the eight disciplinary and auxiliary forces under the Security Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government have recently held open day activities to deepen the public's understanding of their role in maintaining national security and safeguarding urban peace through diverse experiences, and to enhance citizens' awareness of safeguarding national security. In the open day activities of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government Flying Service, Correctional Services Department, Public Safety Service, Police Force, and Fire Services Department, each unit combines its own functional characteristics to create characteristic activities, including Chinese style walking demonstrations, rescue skill demonstrations, virtual reality training system experiences, simulated aircraft operations, working dog performances, and national security themed interactive games, etc., to attract citizens to participate. During the open day event at the headquarters of the Civil Security Service (referred to as the "Civil Security Service"), the interactive booth of "Metaverse Movement Awareness of National Security" attracted many citizens to queue up. Through motion sensing devices, citizens can "shuttle" through the virtual "Civil Service Headquarters Building", complete designated "check-in" tasks, and receive a commemorative card package from the Civil Service. The immersive 'check-in' task can help people remember several national security knowledge in a short period of time. ”Ms. Ye, a senior emergency rescue team member, told reporters that open day activities like this can not only make citizens aware of the importance of national security, but also let everyone understand that the civil security team always sticks to the front line of emergency rescue, guarding the safety of the city and citizens. The open day event of the Correctional Services Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government was also crowded with people. In the interactive area, Ms. Chen, a Hong Kong citizen, is queuing up with her daughter in front of a game booth called "National Defense Line". She smiled and told reporters that many interactive games on the Correctional Services Department's open day are particularly suitable for children to participate in. A shooting game like this' National Defense Line 'can not only provide children with fun, but also help them remember national security related knowledge, which is much more effective than simply preaching, "said Ms. Chen. After speaking, it was Ms. Chen's daughter's turn to participate in the game. She raised a laser "handgun" and hit targets with charges such as "terrorism", "illegal disclosure of state secrets", and "incitement intent" one after another. She turned her head and bounced around to show off to Ms. Chen, "I have knocked down all the bad guys!" It is understood that the Immigration Department, Hong Kong Customs, and Auxiliary Medical Service of the SAR government will also hold open day activities in sequence to encourage citizens to participate. Deng Bingqiang, Director of the Security Bureau of the Special Administrative Region Government, previously stated in a media interview that national security propaganda and education are crucial. We hope to further enhance Hong Kong citizens' awareness of national security and cultivate their ability to think critically and discern clearly by holding an open day for disciplinary forces, so as not to give instigators an opportunity to take advantage.
