GFS fully supports National Security Education Day (with photos)
****************************************************************
     In support of the National Security Education Day organised by the Committee for Safeguarding National Security of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) today (April 15), the Government Flying Service (GFS) provided a static helicopter and search and rescue equipment display at the Fire and Ambulance Services Academy. The GFS also demonstrated helicopter medical evacuations, and partnered with the Special Duties Unit for counter-terrorism exercises at the Hong Kong Police College. Through the participation of open day events held in the disciplined services training academies, members of the GFS were able to explain to the public on-site, and conduct flight demonstrations, deepening public understanding of the GFS' round-the-clock air support services and duties regarding social security.

     The scope of work of the GFS is closely related to the pursuance of a holistic approach to national security, in particular for its essential role in supporting the HKSAR Government and its policy for safeguarding national, social and ecological security, and nuclear safety. Being one of the disciplinary forces of the HKSAR Government, the GFS will continue to fulfil its mission, fully supporting and cooperating with relevant departments in the maintenance of national security to ensure the long-term stability and prosperous development in the HKSAR.
