6. LOCAL SUPPORT FOR THE ADVISERS.

SUBJECT TO CRANE'S VIEWS,

WE PROPOSE TO ESTABLISH A LOCAL TEAM TO COMPLEMENT THE ADVISERS.

WE ENVISAGE THAT IT SHOULD CONSIST OF THE FOLLOWING:

(1) A CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT: AN EXPATRIATE WITH ADMINISTRATIVE

AND STAFF EXPERIENCE AND 28 YEARS SERVICE IN THE FORCE:

A SUPERINTENDENT:

(11)

(111) A CHIEF INSPECTOR, AND

(IV) AN INSPECTOR.

OF THE THREE LATTER AT LEAST TWO WOULD BE CHINESE. I THINK THE ADVISERS WOULD FIND IT HELPFUL IF THE LOCAL TEAM INCLUDED ONE OR MORE CHINESE OFFICERS FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE WHO COULD ACT AS INTERPRETERS IN ANY MEETINGS WHICH THE ADVISERS

HAVE WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS OR MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND ASSIST WITH ADVICE ON POLICE/PUBLIC RELATIONS.

7. THE FOREGOING OFFICERS WILL BE EARMARKED BUT WILL NOT BE

DETAILED UNTIL CRANE HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS AFTER

HIS ARRIVAL. I SHOULD NOT THINK HE WILL WANT ALL THESE AT

LEAST TO START WITH.

8. STEERING GROUP. I WOULD LIKE THE ADVISERS TO REPORT REGULARLY TO A STEERING GROUP, OF WHICH ! (AT LEAST INITIALLY) INTEND TO BE CHAIRMAN. THE GROUP WOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE C.S, C.A.C AND C.P.

9. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS, AS THE TEAM WILL BE DEALING WITH MATTERS AFFECTING BOTH RHKP AND ICAC, I PROPOSE TO PROVIDE IT WITH OFFICE ACCOMMODATION IN THE GOVERNMENT SECRETARIAT.

THIS IS ABOUT HALF A MILE FROM POLICE HEADQUARTERS AND A

SHORTER DISTANCE FROM ICAC. INTERVIEW ROOMS WOULD ALSO BE

AVAILABLE IN PHQ AND ICAC FOR USE BY THE ADVISERS, THE

NECESSARY STENOGRAPHIC AND SECRETARIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE

PROVIDED.

10. ACCOMMODATION. I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE BEST FOR THE ADVISERS TO BE ACCOMMODATED IN A GOOD HOTEL CLOSE TO THE SECRETARIAT. H.K.G WOULD PAY FOR THE COST OF THEIR HOTEL

ROOMS..
