While opening the Taz Wan Shan station, Sir Murray said it was evident

that most centres of population wanted a police station within easy reach.

This, he said, was a striking testimony of the confidence of the community

in the police.

He pointed out that the new stations were designed to meet the

community's "very reasonable wishes" that procedures in stations should be

shortened, and that report rooms should be separated from charge rooms,

The Governor described this as an example of some of the practical

stops taken by the police in response to the wishes of the community. He

stressed that it is on this partnership of police and public that "we must

depend to defeat violent crime."
