PREVENTIVE SERVICE PRAISED
The Secretary for Home Affairs, Mr. D.C.C. Luddington, today
commended the Preventive Service for its constant hard work and recent
successes.
He was speaking at a passing-out parade of new officers of
the service this (Saturday) morning at the Royal Hong Kong Regiment
Headquarters in Happy Valley.
He impressed on the new officers that "illegal imports can
be prevented only by constant vigilance, unremitting effort and absolute
integrity," and that the public expected a high standard in their
performance.
One hundred and fifty officers took part in the parade, of
whom 70 were passing out.
