REPORT OF THE HONG KONG POLICE RESERVE FOR THE YEAR 1932.
The organisation of the Hong Kong Police Reserve has remained unchanged during the year with the exception of the unit previously known as the Sharp Shooters Company, which is now known as the Emergency Unit Reserve.
2. An addition to the equipment of the Force has taken the form of a Riot Van, supplied by the Hong Kong Government, which has added very considerably to the facilities for training members of this unit.
3. The Headquarters of the Hong Kong Police Reserve were transferred during the year from Central Police Station to the new No. 2 Police Station at Wanchai, where very much improved accommodation has been made available.
4. The total strength of the Force shows a slight increase. The relative figures are given below for purposes of comparison. There have been several resignations due to transfers, and to the inability on the part of certain members to spare the time which their voluntary service requires.
Recruiting, however, has been satisfactory, particularly in the Chinese Company, whose strength shows an increase of ten members.
1932 1931 Chinese Company 82 72 Indian Company 47 47 Flying Squad 46 47 Emergency Unit Reserve 43 46 Total 218 2125. Training has been continued on similar lines to those employed in previous years, and it is satisfactory to record the continuance of the improved attendance and keenness amongst members.
Duties have been performed from time to time as auxiliary to the Regular Police, and Contingents have been supplied on the usual ceremonial occasions namely, the Birthday of His Majesty the King, and on Armistice Day, 1932.
