Hon. Mr. T. N. Chau, C.B.E.
Hon. Mr. Lo Man-kam,
Mr. Wong Ping-sun.
Mr. Tang Shiu-kin, M.B.E.
Mr. Sum Pak-ming.
Mr. Tam Woon-tong.
22. Messrs. Peter H. Sin and Ng Yiu-wan retired on the expiration of their year of office as ex-Chairman of the Tung Wah Hospital and Po Leung Kuk Committees respectively and Mr. W. N. Thomas Tam, as ex-Chairman of the Po Leung Kuk Committee, succeeded to serve on the Committee. The Hon. Dr. Li Shu-fan, on being appointed as a member of the Legislative Council, also served on the Committee.
23. The Force was maintained at its full authorised strength namely:- 5 Head District Watchmen, 6 Assistant Head District Watchmen, 26 Detectives and 103 Uniformed Men.
24. During the year two members of the Force died and six were dismissed. Recruits were obtained for the eight vacancies.
25. Inspector E. J. Ellis remained in charge throughout the year.
26. The efficiency of the Force in 1937 deserves special mention. Whilst the work as regards both civil inquiries and criminal cases was greatly increased, discipline was well maintained. The number of successful prosecutions, 2067, was a third more than that of last year, the previous highest. This was entirely due to increases in cases of larceny and receiving, the aggregate of other cases remaining practically stationary.
27. Comparative figures of all cases for the last three years are attached (Table VIII).
28. There was a large increase in civil inquiries, owing chiefly to the demand for passport visas consequent on the Sino-Japanese War and to applications for certificates of nationality for Hong Kong born British seamen born in Victoria or Kowloon.
29. During the Coronation the Force did good work in arresting pickpockets and other thieves. A letter of appreciation for its services in this connection was received from His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government.
30. Discipline was good. There were 6 dismissals as compared with 3 and 12 in 1936 and 1935 respectively and 52 departmental reports as compared with 47 and 75 in the same years.
