On September 1, 2026, the Taipei Dome came alive as the Fubon Guardians hosted an “Anti-Fraud Theme Day” during a CPBL game. Director-General Chang, Jung-Hsin of the National Police Agency (NPA), Commissioner Chiu, Shao-Chou of the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB), and the popular mascot “Criminal Bear” joined the Fubon Guardians to promote fraud prevention and raise public awareness. In addition to an exciting ceremonial first pitch and an energetic cheerleading performance, a series of fun, interactive activities brought anti-fraud awareness to life at the ballpark and drew an enthusiastic response from fans.
The ceremonial first pitch featured several creative touches. Director-General Chang took the mound as an “ace pitcher,” delivering a strike to home plate to symbolize the ability to recognize scams. Commissioner Chiu stepped into the batter’s box to demonstrate his “power to hit back against fraud,” while the popular mascot “Criminal Bear” served as a strict home-plate umpire. The playful ceremony highlighted the strong partnership between law enforcement and the business community in combating fraud. During an interview, Director-General Chang joked that although he normally directs criminal investigations, standing on the mound before a packed stadium made him “even more nervous than facing criminals!” Playing on baseball terminology, he also vowed to “strike out” fraud rings.
The NPA emphasized that combating fraud is a long-term battle. Police will continue to stand on the front line protecting the public, while urging everyone to remember the three-step anti-fraud rule: “Listen, Hang Up, Verify.” The public is encouraged to become the police’s strongest “teammates” in the fight against fraud and work together to build a safer, more secure community.
