Apart from the talks, there will be demonstrations on preventing, and protecting oneself from, snatch thefts, assaults, kidnappings and scams. The police and Fire and Rescue Department will also demonstrate how they tackle security and safety issues in the city.

The event will also see the handover of bicycles by the Majulah Miri Centre to the Senadin Neighbourhood Watch, petition-signing for the establishment of a police station in Desa Senadin, and the conducting of a student survey regarding security patrols in residential areas.
