HK's police force, one of the finest in Asia: CS
Hong Kong has one of Asia's finest police forces which maintains Hong Kong's prosperity and stability, the Chief Secretary, Mrs Anson Chan, said.
Officiating at the passing-out parade at the Police Training School today (Saturday), Mrs Chan said Hong Kong had a much lower crime rate than other major cities like Tokyo, London, Toronto or San Francisco.
"The Royal Hong Kong Police Force was the first disciplined service established in the territory and has a long and proud tradition of distinguished service," she said.
The Chief Secretary said she was always impressed by the professionalism, commitment and high standards of the police force during her visits to different police formations.
"The community owes the Police Force a great debt of gratitude," she added,
Accompanied by the acting Commissioner of Police, Mr Wong Tsan-kwong, and the Commandant of the Police Training School, Mr Foo Tsun-kong, Mrs Chan inspected seven male inspectors, three female inspectors and 118 police constables.
At present, all police inspectors have to undergo a 36-week course which covers both academic and practical subjects and focuses on the development of leadership skills.
Police constables are required to undergo a 27-week training which includes a wide range of topics in law and order.
