7. Emergency Unit training courses in air raid precautions are open to the public. From an original attendance of fifteen the Emergency Unit class has grown to an attendance of over one hundred. A gratifying number of the public have qualified as instructors or wardens and are doing good work in other centres. Sub-Inspector R. P. Dunlop is still in charge of this branch of the Emergency Unit and the effect of his training is increasingly apparent in the growing strength of the air raid precautions organization.
8. Voluntary Duties Performed.-All units of the Police Reserve have turned out on the usual ceremonial occasions as auxiliaries to the regular police on street and traffic duties.
9. Active Service. -The Police Reserve was called out by proclamation on 15th October, 1938 and from that date onward have supplemented the regular police at all stations in Hong Kong and Kowloon from 18.00 hours till midnight daily. The average number of all ranks on active duty daily was 121 men. Their cheerful and efficient service in carrying on patrols and beat duties in place of regular police transferred to other places for duty, reflects credit on the discipline of the Force and on the officers and subordinate officers responsible for its training.

REPORT ON THE STREET BOYS' CLUB, 1938.
