Based on past experience, it takes six firm applications to
yield one recruit to the police force.
"This means we have to aim at getting some 6,000 firm applications
to join the police force during our current recruitment drive," said Mr.
Bray.
At the time of the Census, Hong Kong Island had 25.30 per cent
of the population, Kowloon 18.19 per cent and New Kowloon 37.56 per cent.
As the New Territories had one-sixth of the population, the
Heung Yee Kuk, Rural Committees and Chambers of Commerce in the New
Territories have been asked to raise 1,000 firm applications.
Based on the 1971 population, Mr. Bray suggested 1,600, 1,100
and 2,300 as the targets for firm applications for Hong Kong, Kowloon and
New Kowloon respectively.
He said it was most gratifying that kaifong and rural bodies had
come forward to give their support to the recruitment campaign, and he
hoped that they would continue to play their part in the drive.
Mr. Bray invited kaifong and rural leaders to telephone him од
5-95493 or Mr. Christopher Wong, who is helping him, on 5-95710 should
they have any difficulties or suggestions to make,
