adopted now for two decades, has been to give

acquired experience and been promoted through the
ranks. At present, just over
70 per cent of the
1,787 posts in the senior management/professional
grades are filled by local
officers,
whilst in
senior) ranks local
directorate (i.e. the most
officers now hold 53 per cent of the 1,002
positions. The Hong Kong Government is confident
that the continued application of the current policy
will enable top posts in the service to be filled by
local officers before 1997, in keeping with the terms
of the Joint Declaration.

Force, the aim is for the Force to be predominantly
local by the year 2000. At present the ratio of
overseas to local officers in the Inspectorate rank

identify more local officers for promotion and to
provide training to develop their potential.
