Special Voluntary Police Duty.--All contingents of the Police Reserve have rendered valuable assistance to the Regular Police upon special occasions, especially during the Royal Visit of H. R. H. The Duke of Gloucester in April 1929.
Annual Inspection.-A general inspection of the Hong Kong Police Reserve was held on Thursday, January 31st, 1929 and the attendance was satisfactory.
Special Constabulary.--This force is divided into thirteen different Contingents (according to their different nationalities) and the strength on 31.12.29 was 177.
Flying Squad.--Strength. Nine recruits joined during the year thus bringing the total strength up to 42--Hong Kong 29 and Kowloon 13.
Patrols.--Weekly Instructional Patrols have been held regularly in Hong Kong and Kowloon, except during the summer months (June/October) when each Section did only two patrols a month. The attendance at the various patrols has been satisfactory.
Promotion.--Constables R336 A. Gascon and R330 J. Kotwall were both promoted to the rank of Crown Sergeant.
General. From time to time members of the Flying Squad have assisted the Regular Traffic Police in escort duties, in addition to traffic duties on special ceremonial occasions, and especially during the period of Communist activity in August last, when 17 men assisted the C.I.D. Department in suppressing the distribution of seditious literature. During this period they were required to do 5 hours duty a day.
Members have again displayed great keenness in their work, and have certainly gained a lot of useful experience as well as a good knowledge of Police duties in general.
