Deputy Minister of the Interior Wu Tang-an presided over the opening ceremony of the 44th Central Police University (CPU) Annual Sports Day on November 14, 2025. Wu remarked that the students’ spectacular themed parade was ingenious and showcased the creativity and confidence of CPU students, whether through costumes they designed, formations they arranged, or the short skits they choreographed. He also noted that CPU had fully demonstrated its educational philosophy of "cultivating both competence and integrity, and achieving a balance of intellect and physical strength" by organizing sports competitions that not only built consensus and team spirit but also embodied the discipline and vitality of police education.

Wu Tang-an mentioned that the Ministry of the Interior (MOI), the solid backing of CPU, has secured funding to establish the "Disaster Prevention and Protection College" and the "Technological Investigation Artificial Intelligence Simulation Laboratory" in 2026. These initiatives aim to train students in a more systematic and practical way, ensuring that they are well prepared to face various challenges after graduation. Furthermore, the MOI is currently deliberating on positioning CPU as a “Professional Training Institution for Disaster Prevention Specialists,” in response to the national strategy of promoting "Whole-of-Society Defense Resilience." He encouraged students to actively participate in disaster prevention specialist training and to contribute their professional capabilities to safeguarding Taiwan.
Following the opening ceremony, Wu Tang-an fired the starting shot for the most anticipated event of the games — the tug-of-war finals. He stated that the tug-of-war competition symbolizes team cohesion and tacit understanding, as all members must work together with full strength toward a shared goal within just a few minutes. The pursuit of team honor not only demonstrates the core values of CPU but also helps cultivate the essential qualities required of future law enforcement leaders.
