It is easy to forget the dangers with the hype of travelling to a foreign country, but students of Session B were fortunate enough to attend a safety talk by Sergeant Ray Morales and his colleagues of the NYPD 109th Precinct.
The officers were lively and engaging as they related past incidents and precautions to adopt to avoid becoming a victim of crime. They also took special care to stress on aspects that students were likely to overlook, such as how opportunities for crime are created when students are too focused on their phones to observe their surroundings.
Demonstrations and a Question-and-Answer session after the talk, whereby the officers provided detailed clarifications to any doubts that the students might have, helped to drive these vital points across.
LIM, Jun Cheng, a student from Nanyang Technological University said, "The tips given by the officers are really useful. They can be applied to places other than New York. I'll be sure to always keep them in mind!"
Towards the end of the talk, students gathered for a photo taking session with the officers who had imparted valuable advice to them.
