The foundations of the Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force
were laid with the formation of the Hong Kong Police Reserve in
1914. The object of the Reserve was to act in support of the
regular Police Force in maintaining law and order and protecting
life and property. It has been involved in these duties through
two World Wars and civil disturbances during peace time and its
basic aims remain unchanged.
The title of the Reserve was changed in 1959 with the
establishment of the Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force with a strength
of some 2,000 men. It has expanded over the years to its present
strength of about 3,200.
