The year under notice has seen many innovations and improvements. A Headquarters Club in Prince's Buildings was opened in August 1916. A magazine, called the "Police Reserve Gazette" made its appearance in December, 1916. A section of Buglers and Drummers has been formed out of the Chinese Command. A Police School was formed and has been continuously working since November in which Mr. T. H. King, A.S.P., acts as Examiner, and Chief Inspector Kerr, and Inspectors Gordon, Gerrard, P. O'Sullivan, and Grant, all of the Regular Force, have acted as Lecturers. The Mounted Police have made great progress, proving of value in regulating traffic.
In addition to the Deputy Superintendent, Mr. F. C. Jenkin, three new Superintendents have been appointed. Mr. J. W. Franks, as A. S. P. (R.), has taken over and put the Discipline Department on an efficient basis. Mr. T. F. Hough, A. S. P. (R.), as officer-in-charge of the Mounted Police, has brought this detachment to its present efficient state. Dr. Jordan, Surgeon Superintendent of Police (R.), examines daily any of the 600 men of the Force who seek exemption on medical grounds.
Good work was voluntarily performed during the recent Small-pox epidemic by Surgeon Inspector Thomas and the members of the Ambulance Platoon.
A Musketry Course has been fired by all ranks. The Musketry Department, of which Chief Inspector Chinchen is in charge, has been strengthened by the acquisition of Musketry Sergeant Fisher.
Mr. Balean of the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation has given his services as Sergeant-Accountant.
The Police Reserve perform both land and harbour patrols. Every evening sixty men report for duty at the Land and Water Police Stations. Arrangements have also been made and tested for a large proportion of the force to assemble at certain places, within a very short space of time and fully prepared for any emergency.
The general and all round efficiency of this Volunteer police Force is due to the personal energy and tact of Mr. Jenkin, the Deputy Superintendent, ably seconded by the other Superintendents and Inspectors. Thanks is also due to the Chinese General Committee for their advice and aid in providing funds for uniform and equipment of those portions of the Reserve which are composed of British Subjects of Chinese Race.
