Taiwanese law enforcement agencies have implemented various community outreach programs focused on youth crime and drug prevention.

In Hsinchu, police introduced an immersive “Youth Crime-Search Mission” camp for teenagers, featuring forensic simulations and lessons on personal safety and anti-fraud measures. Concurrently, authorities used radio broadcasts to warn the public about “fake e-commerce startup” scams involving fraudulent social media advertisements.

Efforts expanded in other regions through creative engagement. In Taipei, the Criminal Investigation Bureau hosted a national anti-drug street dance competition to raise awareness about emerging narcotics, specifically noting that etomidate was recently upgraded to a Category 1 narcotic. Additionally, police in Kaohsiung utilized comedic video content to educate youth on the legal consequences of participating in street violence and intimidation.
