NEW POLICE DIVISIONAL HEADQUARTERS AT KWAI CHUNG
A new police divisional headquarters will soon be built in Kwai
Chung in the New Territories as part of the Force's multi-million-dollar
expansion programme.
The Kwai Chung complex, situated at the junction of Kwai Chung
Road and Kwai Foo Road, will consist of a 17-storey block, a two-storey
annex block and a single-block ancillary building.
The high block will incorporate a podium of two floors for offices,
lecture room, cells and a spacious report room. The report room will have
a public waiting area and individual interview rooms for handling public
complaints and criminal cases.
Other floors will be taken up by barracks for about 600 rank and
file members, quarters for the families of four senior officere, a canteen,
recreation room and changing rooms.
A special feature of the new building is that the rank and file
barracks are designed for better comfort. Instead of one big common barrack
room, single officers will share smaller rooms designed for three to
four people.
The annex
block will have a number of radio control rooms and will
house other equipment for telecommunication. Space for car-parking, dog
kennels and general storage will be provided in the ancillary building.
