ROLES OF PREVENTIVE SERVICE OFFICERS
*******
PREVENTIVE SERVICE OFFICERS HAVE TO BE ALERT AND FLEXIBLE TO MATCH CUNNING WITH ASTUTENESS, THE ACTING DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF THE PREVENTIVE SERVICE, MR. PAUL WONG, SAID THIS (SATURDAY) MORNING.
ADDRESSING 31 ASSISTANT REVENUE OFFICERS DURING THEIR PASSING-OUT PARADE AT THE PREVENTIVE SERVICE TRAINING SCHOOL IN TAI LAM CHUNG, MR. WONG SAID THE RESULTS OF PREVENTIVE SERVICE'S EFFORTS IN THE FIELD OF NARCOTICS HAD NOT GONE UNNOTICED BY THE MEDIA AND THE PUBLIC.
+WE, HOWEVER, CANNOT BE COMPLACENT AS THE WELL-BEING OF INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE CONTINUES TO BE THREATENED BY THIS SOCIAL EVIL, AND SOPHISTICATED METHODS OF SMUGGLING ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING, HE STRESSED.
MR. WONG POINTED OUT THAT THE PREVENTIVE SERVICE WAS CHARGED WITH MANY RESPONSIBILITIES, PRINCIPALLY THE COLLECTION AND PROTECTION OF REVENUE FROM DUTIABLE COMMODITIES SUCH AS ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS, TOBACCO, HYDROCARBON OILS AND METHYL ALCOHOL.
+HK $550 MILLION WAS COLLECTED LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR REVENUE MAY REACH HK $650 MILLION, HE SAID.
WITH THE SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNIQUES THEY HAVE ACQUIRED DURING THEIR TRAINING PERIOD, MR. WONG FELT SURE THE NEW RECRUITS WOULD BE ABLE TO PERFORM THEIR DUTIES EFFICIENTLY AND, WITH CONFIDENCE, DISCHARGE THEIR LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES WITH TACT, TOLERANCE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WITHOUT ANY ABUSE.
IN THIS RESPECT THEY WILL HAVE THE ASSISTANCE AND GUIDANCE OF THEIR MORE EXPERIENCED COLLEAGUES.
+GOOD TEAM WORK AND HIGH WORKING MORALE ARE THE HALLMARK OF THE PREVENTIVE SERVICE, HE SAID.
