Police maintain law and order with impartiality (with photos)
*************************************************************
Earning itself a good reputation, the Force has the missions of upholding the rule of law, maintaining law and order and safeguarding life and property, Mr Chow said.
Mr Chow noted that becoming a Police officer meant that one would take up the duties of protecting the community and maintaining law and order, which would be an arduous task but also a mission that one can take great pride in.
He said that Hong Kong is a diversified society with various opinions and voices. In recent years, some members of the public have chosen to express their views in more radical ways, which might bring challenges to Force members.
“However, as long as you continue to enforce the law with fairness and impartiality, and be respectful and understanding in all dealings, then you will gain the support and understanding of the community and have the backing of the public,” he said.
Mr Chow said that an open and free economy, the rule of law and a clean, safe and stable society were the prerequisites of an international financial centre. While technologies have grown rapidly and cyber crimes have spread globally in recently years, cyber security has become a primary concern for financial trades.
“We are pleased that the Force has been actively enhancing their ability in fighting technology crimes and combating Internet fraud, as well as preventing cyber security threats,” he said, adding that it has helped to reinforce Hong Kong’s position as an international financial centre.
He encouraged the graduates to apply what they had learned in the College in their work when they assumed duties so as to overcome challenges, and act with professionalism to maintain the good reputation of the Force.
A total of 28 probationary inspectors and 248 recruit constables passed out today.
