Introduction

This book sets out to tell you something of the Police Force in Hong Kong.

This

The fact

that you are reading this means that you are already attracted by the prospect of a career in the British Crown Colony. Although life in any country is largely what you make it, there is little doubt that the Hong Kong Police Force offers an opportunity for a life that will be anything but dull.

In recent disturbances the Hong Kong Police Force won renewed praise for their training and behaviour.

Typical of newspaper comments on the Force in action, at the height of the troubles in May, was this from Peter Younghusband of the London Daily Mail:

"Throughout the acutest provocation the police have shown outstanding immaculate discipline and restraint. In all my reporting experience, includ- ing police action in the worst trouble spots in Africa in the past seven years, I have seen nothing like it.'
