CAMPAIGN TO RECRUIT MORE POLICE INSPECTORS
A report setting out guidelines for a campaign to recruit more
Inspectors in Britain for the Royal Hong Kong Police Force is now being
prepared for submission to the Hong Kong Government.
The report is being compiled by Mr. Alan Hamilton, a consultant
appointed by the Crown Agents, to handle all recruiting needs in Britain
on behalf of the Hong Kong Government.
Hr. Hamilton has just returned to Britain after spending a week
in Hong Kong, studying specific requirements for the 200 Police Inspectors
which it is hoped to recruit in Britain during a forthcoming campaign
to commence in October.
During his stay in Hong Kong, Mr. Banilton was fully briefed by
the Police, the Establishment Branch of the Colonial Secretariat and
Government Information Services.
His report is expected to contain proposals on the methods for
publicising the recruiting drive in Britain, together with the extent of
coverage and the expenditure involved.
Commenting on the prospects for young Police Inspectors from Britain,
Mr. Hamilton said: "I believe service in the Royal Hong Kong Police Force
offers a young wan just as much challenge as service in the British Army.
"In fact a young Police Inspector in Hong Kong can expect to exercise
command far sooner than he would if he enlisted in the services back home.
