Tabletop drill for sports park held to enhance inter-departmental collaboration

Police have staged the first inter-departmental tabletop exercise for the Kai Tak Sports Park, aimed at ensuring the park's smooth operation when it is officially commissioned in the first quarter of 2025.

Over 150 representatives from various government departments and related organizations participated in the exercise. Codenamed WINGEDTIGER, it was held yesterday (Oct. 25) at the force's Kowloon East Regional Headquarters.

The exercise simulated a series of potential incidents during concerts and international football matches, seeking to ensure that all stakeholders can respond to emergencies within the park effectively.

Stakeholders were required to allocate manpower, adopt contingency measures, and coordinate actions with other units in response to different emergencies in real time. Experts were invited to share their professional knowledge after the exercise.

Police said the exercise not only strengthened communication and cooperation among various organizations, but also improved overall crowd management, collaboration, and responsiveness when handling large-scale incidents.

It served as a rehearsal for various test events and on-site drills scheduled that will be carried out between now and the first quarter of next year, the force added.
