Police today conducted an inter-departmental tabletop exercise, codenamed "PLACIDSEA II", for the 15th National Games, the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympic Games.

The exercise was set against the backdrop of upcoming Track Cycling competitions at the Hong Kong Velodrome in Tseung Kwan O, simulating various scenarios that may occur there during the Games, including venue security screening, crowd control, traffic co-ordination and emergency response.

Through scenario-based discussions, participating representatives enhanced inter-departmental and multi-agency co-ordination to ensure the Games run safely and smoothly.

It was designed with reference to the standards established by the General Administration of Sport of China and the potential challenges of the Games, in preparation for the Track Cycling events to be held at the velodrome.

Supported by 12 bureaus and departments and relevant organisations, over 120 representatives took part, including those from the Culture, Sports & Tourism Bureau and its National Games Coordination Office (Hong Kong), Fire Services Department, Civil Aid Service, Auxiliary Medical Service, Hospital Authority, Digital Policy Office, Transport Department, Leisure & Cultural Services Department and MTR Corporation.
