MEMORANDUM FOR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SPECIAL
POLICE ADVISERS FROM THE UK
Introduction
On 10th January 1978, after considering memorandum XCC(78)6, Honourable Members advised and the Governor ordered that an announcement should be made in the following terms:
"1 A small Home Office team of police special advisers will arrive in Hong Kong on 17th January. It will consist of three officers, under the direction of Mr Crane who is one of HM Inspectors of Constabulary. The other members of the team are Chief Superintendent Wallen of the Inspectors of Constabulary Office and Chief Superintendent Humphrey of the Metropolitan Police.
2 The team will advise the Commissioner of Police on the organisation and operation of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force, with particular regard to discipline, staff manage- ment and morale, chain of command and channels of communication at all levels, sources and standards of recruitment, relations with the ICAC and any other matters the team considers relevant to the foregoing.
3
The team will also advise the Commissioner Against Corruption on ICAC procedures.
4 After consultation with the Commissioner of Police and the Commissioner Against Corruption, the Governor decided that, at this juncture, assistance from impartial professionals of proven experience from outside was necessary. These arrangements were made with the concurrence of HMG during his recent visit to the United Kingdom.
5 The team will keep the Governor informed of its progress and of any conclusions it reaches.
6
The team will be assisted in its work by the Police and the ICAC. Its role is advisory, and its object will be to encourage and suggest improvements where needed. Its work is expected to extend over three or four months."
