T
PUBLIC REMINDED TO CHECK IDENTITY OF CENSUS ENUMERATORS
IN RESPONSE TO PRESS ENQUIRIES ON AN ALLEGED IMPERSONATION OF CENSUS ENUMERATOR CASE, A SPOKESMAN FOR THE CENSUS AND STATISTICS DEPARTMENT SAID TODAY (WEDNESDAY} THAT SUCH A REPORT HAS BEEN RECEIVED BY THE POLICE.
ACCORDING TO THE
REPORT, A
PERSON VISITED A HOUSEHOLD IN KOWLOON IN THE MORNING OF MARCH 13 PURPORTING TO COLLECT SOME POPULATION INFORMATION. ON THE BASIS OF THE HOUSEHOLDER'S REPORT, IT IS SUSPECTED THAT IT WAS A CASE OF IMPERSONATING OF CENSUS ENUMERATOR.
THE CENSUS AND STATISTICS DEPARTMENT BELIEVED THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED CASE. THE POLICE IS CARRYING OUT AN INVESTIGATION AND THE ACTUAL SITUATION CAN ONLY BE ESTABLISHED AFTER INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
THE SPOKESMAN SAID IN THE PAST FEW DAYS, MOST MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HAVE BEEN VERY CAUTIOUS IN ESTABLISHING THE IDENTITY OF CENSUS ENUMERATORS. THEY UNDERSTAND THEY SHOULD CHECK CAREFULLY THE CENSUS OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE OF IDENTITY AND THEIR NAMES AND PHOTOGRAPHS.
то
THE DEPARTMENT ONCE AGAIN APPEALED TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC VERIFY CENSUS ENUMERATORS' IDENTITY WHEN BEING APPROACHED BY SOMEONE CLAIMING TO CONDUCT THE CENSUS. IF THERE IS CALL THE CENSUS HOTLINE 827 1234.
ANY
DOUBT,
THEY
SHOULD
