Police College passing-out parade (with photos)
***********************************************
Speaking at the ceremony, Dr Chui said that the Police Force has contributed significantly to the stability and prosperity of society since its establishment. In the past year, the Force apart from being committed to preventing and combating crimes, it also spared no efforts in supporting the Government in the fight against the epidemic, including implementing quarantine orders, and carrying out contact tracing work in respect of COVID-19 confirmed cases.
Dr Chui also noted that the work of the Police Force is diverse and complex. Over the years, the political, legal and social changes have broadened the scope and increased the complexity of policing work, and have impacted upon the working environment of the Police Force. He said that the SCDS is now conducting a Grade Structure Review for the Disciplined Services Grades. The Committee will consider all relevant information and balance all factors to come up with a recommendation that will be conducive to the sustained development of the Police Force and other discipline services, and at the same time benefit the whole community.
Lastly, Dr Chui mentioned that people’s expectations on public services are constantly on the rise. Police officers inevitably have to face overwhelming pressure and challenges when discharging their duties. He encouraged all graduates to keep up with their professionalism, hold tight to their beliefs, and carry out their duties in a fair and impartial manner whatever the circumstances while serving the community.
