MRS. LAU: Sir, can the Secretary inform this Council whether the recruitment of 2 535 for the fiscal year 1988-89 has been met?
SECRETARY FOR SECURITY: Sir, the recruitment target of 2 200 approximately for the fiscal year will be 100 short which I think, if my arithmetic is correct, is about 4%. That is for junior police officers. The recruitment target for inspectors, which I think is about 225, has already been
met.
MR. MARTIN LEE: Sir, in relation to the original answer to the question, why is the drop in the number of complaints against the police relevant to the question as to whether or not there has been any impairment of services of the police force, since the drop in the number of complaints might be due to the improved behaviour on the part of the members of the police force or the public's lack of confidence in the system of complaints against the police force, or both?
SECRETARY FOR SECURITY: The reference to the drop in complaints against the police force, Sir, is to indicate that the services which the police provide to the public are up to standard.
鄭德健議員問:保安司於今年二月十五日立法局會議席上,曾表示去年有1639名警務人員流 失。政府可否告知本局,在40歲前離職的年輕警務人員共有多少?
SECRETARY FOR SECURITY: Sir, I do not have those figures. I shall supply them in writing. (Annex IV)
MRS. CHOW: Sir, in view of the climbing numbers in wastage, can the Secretary tell us what extra efforts are being made to step up recruitment and what the remedial measures are, as mentioned in his answer to an earlier supplementary question, that the Government has taken?
