Sun Xueling on protection for security officers
Enhanced protection and stiffer penalties appear to have raised awareness and encouraged security officers and their employers to report incidents of abuse or harassment, said Minister of State for Home Affairs Sun Xueling. Replying to an MP's questions in Parliament on Monday (Nov 7), she said it is heartening to see the use of technology to create more productive and safer working environments. For example, more security officers are equipped with body-worn cameras while on duty. From 2019 to October 2022, the Police approved 46 requests by 16 licensed security agencies for the use of body-worn cameras. The Ministry of Home Affairs and the Police have been working with their tripartite partners to educate security officers in areas such as public engagement and conflict management, she said.
