REPORT ON HONG KONG POLICE RESERVE FOR 1931.
The Hong Kong Police Reserve organisation has remained unchanged throughout the year.
2. The total strength of the Force shows an increase of twelve members, relative figures are appended hereto for purposes of comparison. Although there has been a considerable increase in the number of recruits to various units, there have been several resignations, dismissals, etc. as a result of careful 'weeding out' of inactive members from the Flying Squad and Chinese Company.
The strength of the Contingent is as follows:-
1931 1930 Chinese Company 74 72 Indian Company 47 48 Flying Squad 47 46 Sharpshooters Company 49 89 Total 217 2053. Five commendations were earned by members of the Reserve during the period under review.
4. Training has been continued on similar lines to those employed in previous years, and vastly improved attendance and keenness has been recorded amongst recruits to all Units.
5. Life Saving instruction has been given to members of Units, and most useful and at the same time interesting instruction has been given to the Chinese Company in Jujitsu, by Police Sergeant R. J. Hunt, whose voluntary services in his spare time are greatly appreciated. It is hoped that further instruction in this art may be arranged for the members of the Reserve Emergency Unit (late Sharpshooter Company) during 1932.
6. The Reserve has supplied contingents on the usual ceremonial occasions—His Majesty the King's Birthday and on Armistice Day 1931, and in addition, on the two occasions on which His Majesty the King of Siam passed through the Colony special squads were on duty.
