+THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE CAMPAIGN WILL BE THE HOME SECURITY DAY' ON SEPTEMBER 28 (SUNDAY) WHEN JUNIOR POLICE CALL MEMBERS, BOYS AND GIRLS FROM OTHER YOUTH ORGANISATIONS AND VOLUNTARY AGENCIES, WILL DISTRIBUTE CRIME PREVENTION PUBLICITY AND ADVICE TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD IN HONG KONG.
+THE ENTHUSIASTIC RESPONSE RECEIVED FROM THE SE ORGANISATIONS IN ITSELF DEMONSTRATES THE WILLINGNESS OF A LARGE SECTION OF THE COMMUNITY ACTIVELY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CRIME.
+THEY DESERVE RECOGNITION AND PRAISE,+ SIR DAVID SAID.
HE APPEALED TO ALL SMALL HOUSEHOLDERS TO SUPPORT HOME SECURITY DAY' BY RECEIVING THOSE YOUNG VOLUNTEERS WITH A SMILE AND A PROMISE THAT THEY WOULD PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE SECURITY OF THEIR HOME IN FUTURE.
POINTING OUT THAT THE FIGHT CRIME COMMITTEE EXISTED TO CO-ORDINATE THE COMMUNITY'S ATTACK ON CRIME, SIR DAVID SAID THE FIGHT CRIME CAMPAIGN ORGANISED EACH YEAR WAS TO MAKE PEOPLE REALISE WHAT THEY COULD DO TO PREVENT CRIME AND TO EMPHASIZE THAT IT WAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THEM ALL TO FIGHT CRIME.
TURNING TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH SCHEME WHICH IS NOW IN ITS SECOND PHASE, SIR DAVID SAID MORE THAN 28 500 FAMILIES HAD TAKEN PART IN FORMING SOME 2 800 NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH UNITS.
HE SAID THAT MORE FAMILIES WOULD JOIN THE THIRD PHASE OF THE EXTREMELY POPULAR SCHEME IN LATE 1986 OR EARLY 1987.
+APART FROM ITS ROLE IN HELPING TO PREVENT AND DETECT CRIME, IT IS ALSO PROVING TO BE A VERY GOOD MEANS OF BRINGING FAMILIES TOGETHER IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF FRIENDSHIP AND GOODWILL,+ SIR DAVID SAID.
IN CONCLUSION, SIR DAVID SAID THE FINAL PART OF THE 1986/87 FIGHT CRIME CAMPAIGN WILL BE THE ANNUAL FCC-DFCC CONFERENCE WHICH WILL BE HELD ON JANUARY 11 (SUNDAY) NEXT YEAR.
+ ATTENDED BY SOME 350 PERSONS, THE CONFERENCE WILL PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FCC AND DFCC MEMBERS TO EXCHANGE VIEWS, MAKE SUGGESTIONS AND RECEIVE ADVICE,+ SIR DAVID SAID.
+LAST YEAR'S INAUGURAL CONFERENCE WAS EXTREMELY USEFUL AND REINFORCED THE ROLE OF THE WHOLE COMMUNITY IN THE CONTINUING EFFORT TO FIGHT CRIME, HE ADDED.
