Mr. Robert John KERLEY

Mr. Kerley joined the Police in 1969. He was posted

to Special Branch in 1973, promoted to Chief Inspector in 1976 and to Superintendent in 1978. He was commended by his Commanding officer in 1977. His performance in Special Branch, in operations

requiring professional skill, intense concentration and effort

over a considerable period of time, has been of the highest order.

Hr. KU Chiu-wah

Mr. Ku joined the Force as a Constable and was promoted to the rank of Chief Inspector in 1971. For the last five years he has held the appointment of Sub-Divisional Inspector, Lo Wu, of Frontier Division. A major part of his duties has been the

regulation and control of a rapidly rising number of rail

passengers from 1.5 million in 1975 to over 4 million last

year. His leadership and initiative in the deployment of manpower

resources and in liaison with all other agencies concerned have

been significant factors in the performance of a very difficult

task. Mr. Ku iş highly respected by his colleagues in Hong Kong

as well as by the Chinese authorities with whom he deals.

Mr. LEE Chiu-wing

Mr. Lee joined the Force in 1965, became a CID Constable

in 1971 and was promoted to Station Sergeant in 1980. Between 1975 and 1976 he was directly responsible for the detection of

nine cases of serious armed robbery, involving the arrest of 15 persons and the recovery of seven firearms. After 1976 he continued to produce outstanding results by being directly

responsible for the detection of 14 serious crimes ranging from

homicide to bank robberies, resulting in the arrest of over 40 persons and the recovery of 11 firearms (including three

stolen Police Revolvers). Mr. Lee was killed in a shooting incident earlier this year.
