REPORT ON THE WATER POLICE.
I have the honour to report that the strength of the Water Police as it now stands (Dec. 31st) is 1 Inspector, 2 European Sergeants, 15 European Lance Sergeants, 22 Chinese Coxswains, 4 Boatswains, 77 Seamen, 1 Motor Mechanic, 22 Engineers, 19 Stokers, 3 Barrack Sergeants, 2 Station Sergeants, 5 Station Orderlies, 2 Carpenters, 2 Painters, 1 Sailmaker, 4 Signalmen, 12 Detectives, 17 Boatmen, and 6 Coolies making a total of 216. This is the actual strength as on December 31st, 1920, and includes all the detectives stationed here and those under the Piracy Prevention Ordinance as well.

2. The four large patrol launches have been thoroughly overhauled. During the year white ants were discovered in No. 2 Launch, but an extensive overhaul and the continuous application of "Atlas A" has got rid of them. These launches are all running and in good order, excepting No. 3 Launch, which is worn out and should be replaced by a larger launch, at an early date.
The Harbour Patrol Launches Nos. 5 and 7 have run continuously during the year. No. 6 launch which is a new boat fitted with the engines of the "Hapag", was built by Kwong Hip Loong and taken over for Police duty on February 11th, 1920. She is in excellent condition and is a fine substantial Sea Boat and has done good Police work during the year.
3. Motor Boats 8 and 9 are in good condition, being engaged continuously on passport work. No. 10 Motor Boat is at present in Taikoo Dockyard with a broken tail shaft. The fleet was strengthened during the year by the addition of a shallow draught Motor Boat (No. 11) for special service in Deep Bay. It is pleasing to report that there has not been a single case of raiding from
