Mr. Michael John WATSON

Mr. Watson has worked in the Complaints Against Police Office since 1977. He became Senior Staff Officer in 1978, shortly after the formation of the Complaints and Discipline Wing, and remained in command throughout the difficult period when the office was undergoing considerable growth and change. His performance

during this period was marked by a dedication to a difficult and unenviable task and his involvement in the investigation of

allegations against individual Police officers that had received

wide publicity (both locally and internationally) brought credit

to the Force.

Mr. WONG Shu-hsin

Mr. Wong joined the Force as a Constable in 1948 and advanced to his present rank of Chief Inspector in 1971. He was posted to Traffic Headquarters in 1974 and played an important role in the introduction of the Fixed Penalty Traffic Moving Offences Scheme. His commonsense, technical knowledge and

excellent relationships with officers of other Government depart- ments involved have helped to overcome the various problems which followed the implementation of this system.

Mr. YAU Hung

During the influx of Chinese illegal immigrants and

Vietnamese refugees, Marine District (East Sector) to which

Sergeant Yau is attached, bore the brunt of the illegal immigration onslaught. 260 craft and 4 000 people from China were arrested at sea in that area alone and 24 Vietnamese vessels carrying some 3 000 refugees were intercepted. As a result launches were kept

at sea on operations long beyond their normal docking periods.

Sergeant Yau kept the engines going and carried out all maintenance

normally reserved for dockyard whilst the launch was at sea, often

under arduous conditions.
