At present, besides heroin, there is a rising trend of using synthetic narcotic substances among young people, resulting in serious consequences on the community and society as a whole. Therefore, along with investigation, the anti-drug police force is intensifying educational activities in residential areas on the harms of illegal drug and ways to prevent drug abuse. Hundreds of leaflets have been distributed to residents, and many posters and banners were hung in public places to deliver the message. The force also works with schools and families to encourage families and students to sign "saying no to drug” commitments.

Along with fighting drug crime, the drug crime investigation section also joined hand with relevant departments and agencies to help local drug users to wean the habit. However, the process to sent drug users to rehabilitation facilities is hindered by complicated procedures. In the first half of the year, the force completed 153 dossiers for drug users, 8 more than the figure for the same period last year.
