While students had been given safety tips at the Post-Arrival Orientation, the students were once again reminded that safety must come first, especially when traveling in a foreign country. On June 12, Officer John Chiam and his NYPD team members gave an engaging and informative talk on avoiding and responding to crime.
The officers recommended taking precautions to avoid becoming a target for crime and emphasized how students should be always aware of their surroundings.
The discussion was followed by a question-and-answer session, during which students were given the opportunity to voice any safety concerns.
"It was a really useful talk," said Kam Man Chan, a second year E-Logistics and Technology Management student of City University of Hong Kong. "It's easy to forget about the possibility of crime when you're having so much fun and doing a lot of things. It helped me remember that I have to be more careful when traveling."
