An anti-triad hotline similar to the anti-drug
and anti-corruption hotlines that now exists
should be set up.
Administration's comments. This constructive suggestion was put forward on several occasions and has been implemented. A 24-hour telephone
hotline (5-277887) was set up on 18 July 1986 under the direct supervision of an Assistant
Commissioner of Police. The hotline receives
about 100 calls per week, which is encouraging.
The present composition of the Fight Crime
Committee lacks input from the grass-roots sector
of the community. It should include representatives from the District Boards as well as a few leading figures from the community.
Administration's comments. This seems confused.
The FCC does have leading community figures on it and, more importantly, all 19 DFCCs have "grass-roots" representatives (308 unofficials)
on them. The link between the central FCC and
the DFCCS is very good.
The use of existing legislative provisions relating to triads should be better scrutinized.
Administration's comments. The existing laws
were scrutinized in detail and were considered wanting, hence the discussion document.
