REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE
FOR THE YEAR 1935.
GENERAL.
1. The year 1935 may be described, like 1934, as a quiet year. Although towards the end of the year a few serious crimes attracted public attention, there were no important economic, political or industrial agitations which called for serious Police intervention. The depressed state of trade and industry, mentioned in the Reports for 1933 and 1934, continued throughout 1935. This state of affairs may be regarded as the cause of the number of cases of serious crime remaining high. The report of the Criminal Investigation Branch (paragraphs 31-35) and Table V give a summary of the figures of serious crime.
2. Special precautions in the form of extra Police patrols and picquets were taken on most of the important anniversaries of Chinese and international political events. All passed off quietly. Very little activity by Communists was manifested.
3. In Musketry and Revolver Courses, First Aid and Life Saving, the good standards set in the past have been well maintained.
4. The most notable event during the year was the celebration of the Silver Jubilee of His late Majesty King George V. The programme received the spontaneous and whole-hearted support of every branch of the community. (Please see paragraphs 15-22.)
5. On 8th April, the Hon. Mr. E. D. C. Wolfe, C.M.G., retired on pension, and the Hon. Mr. T. H. King was appointed Inspector General of Police on the 9th April.
SPECIAL EVENTS.
6. Safety First Campaign.-A Safety First Campaign was held from November 18th to November 30th.
7. Preliminary instruction was given to all Regular Duty Police for the week preceding November 18th. A Safety First film was shown at Police Stations as a part of this instruction.
8. The campaign itself consisted of distribution of pamphlets, instruction by Police to pedestrians and drivers, exhibition of posters, lectures, showing of Safety First films and broadcasting of speeches in English and Chinese.
