HE SAID, IN SUCH A LARGE DISTRICT AS KWUN TONG, WITH A POPULATION OF 700 000, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT A HIGH DEGREE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT AND CO-OPERATION EXISTS TO ENABLE THE POLICE TO MAINTAIN STABILITY.
THE WILLINGNESS TO REPORT CRIME, TO PROMOTE PREVENTION MEASURES, AND TO ORGANISE HEALTHY RECREATION FOR YOUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE ONLY SOME OF THE WAYS IN WHICH YOU ARE ASSISTING THE POLICE IN THEIR TASK.
