Counter-terrorism (CT) is one of the Commissioner’s Operational Priorities of Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF).
To cope with the complicated and evolving terrorist threat situation, HKPF closely monitors global and local terrorist incidents and their modus operandi, conducts timely threat assessment, and maintains active intelligence exchange with law enforcement agencies in Hong Kong, Mainland and overseas countries. Based on the prevalent situation, HKPF strategically deploys CT resources to ensure rapid, effective and coordinated response against terrorist activities.
Besides, HKPF regularly reviews contingency plans and holds CT exercises to test the response capability of each unit and enhance their co-ordination with different stakeholders.
HKPF commits to reinforce public education and publicity to raise the CT awareness of the local citizens, and strengthen their emergency preparedness and participation in counter-terrorism.
