NEW KOWLOON POLICE HEADQUARTERS
A multi-million-dollar modern complex is to be built in Kowloon
City to replace the existing Kowloon District Police Headquarters in Mongkok.
The new headquarters will be built on a 110,000-square-foot site
at the junction of Argyle Street and Tin Kwong Road.
Costing about $22 million, the project will be carried out in
two stages, with the first stage due to start in mid-October.
Stage one will consist of the site formation and the construction
of a six-storey office building which will be the nerve-centre of Kowloon
police.
The first floor of the building is to be used for rest and recreational
purposes. It will comprise a communal dining-lounge, canteen, television
room, library, storeroom and an officers emergency room which will also
serve as a gazetted officers' mess during normal times. The overall floor
area for recreational purposes will be about 10,000 square feet.
The second and third floors will house the Criminal Investigation
Department and the Traffic Headquarters (Kowloon) respectively, while the
fourth and top floors will provide separate accommodation for the district
headquarters and government chemists. The total office area will be about
42,000 square feet.
