SECRETARY FOR SECURITY:
Sir
le
The police investigate all complaints of nuisance telephone calls. They do not trace or monitor such calls.
. But, with the complainant's written consent, they may seek the
assistance of the Hong Kong Telephone Company. Neither the police nor the Telephone Company charge for any assistance
provided or action taken.
