Despite persistent rain throughout the day, the event saw enthusiastic participation from nearly 200 individuals, including police officers, their friends, and members of the public. This collective effort demonstrated a strong sense of community spirit and a desire to contribute to society beyond their regular duties.
Beyond the blood drive, the precinct integrated crime prevention awareness into the event. Officers provided detailed explanations on combating drug-impaired driving and warned attendees about prevalent scams, such as fake dating, impersonation of police officers, and fraudulent investment schemes. The goal was to educate the public on protective measures against these threats while fostering goodwill through the charitable act of blood donation.
The Pingzhen Police Precinct and the Pingzhen Police Friends Association, along with organizations like the Guanyin Genman Charity Foundation, are jointly organizing this blood donation event. We hope to encourage officers, in addition to their duties, to contribute to society in different ways.
