POLICE AIM AT BETTER PUBLIC SERVICE

****

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SAU MAU PING DISTRICT MARKS THE CULMINATION OF MANY YEARS OF PLANNING AND CONSULTATION, AND DEMONSTRATES CONSTANT POLICE DESIRE TO PROVIDE A BETTER SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC.

THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE, MR RAYMON ANN ING, SAID THIS WHEN HE OFFICIALLY OPENED THE SAU MAU PING DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS AND SAU MAU PING DIVISIONAL POLICE STATION THIS (TUESDAY) MORNING,

**FOR MANY YEARS THE OFFICERS OF KWUN TONG POLICE DISTRICT HAD TO POLICE A VERY LARGE AREA AND WERE FACED WITH INCREASING PROBLEMS GENERATED BY RISING POPULATION, ** MR ANN ING SAID.

HOWEVER, THEY DID COMMENDABLY WELL TO COPE AS EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY AS THEY DID. IN RECOGNITION OF THIS FACT, IT WAS DECIDED A FEW YEARS AGO TO DIVIDE THE DISTRICT INTO TWO, HE SAID.

KWUN TONG DISTRICT, BASED AT THE OLD KWUN TONG POLICE STATION IS CURRENTLY SERVING THE EASTERN PART OF KWUN TONG, AND SAU MAU PING DISTRICT, THE WEST.

MR ANN ING POINTED OUT THAT OVER THE YEARS, THE PEOPLE OF KWUN TONG HAVE BEEN VERY PROMINENT IN THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE FIGHT AGAINST CRIME AND HE IS CONFIDENT THAT GOOD CO-OPERATION BETWEEN THE RESIDENTS OF SAU MAU PING AND THE POLICE CAN CONTINUE TO DEVELOP.

''I MUST STRESS YET AGAIN HOW RELIANT THE POLICE ARE ON MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC COMING FORWARD AS WITNESSES AND TO REPORT CRIME.

''THIS EXTENDS EVEN TO SUSPICIONS, AND WHAT MAY SEEM INSIGNIFICANT TO YOU COULD IN FACT BE OF GREAT VALUE TO US." HE ADDED.
