Correctional Services Department launches WeChat official account

     To mark the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the 40th anniversary of the renaming of the Prisons Department as the Correctional Services Department (CSD), the CSD launched its WeChat official account on National Day today (October 1).
 
     The CSD WeChat official account is the third official social media platform of the CSD in addition to its YouTube and Facebook social media platforms.
 
     The CSD will use its WeChat official account to disseminate information on the department's custodial work, rehabilitation and community education programmes. Apart from providing an additional channel for Hong Kong people to learn more about the work and development of the CSD, it also extends the reach to promote the work of the department to Mainland people through the new social media channel with a view to strengthening connections and interaction between the two places.
 
     From today, members of the public can search for "HKSARCSD" on WeChat or scan the QR code in the Annex to follow the CSD's official account on WeChat.
