Chief Secretary Chan Kwok-ki today witnessed 30 probationary inspectors and 182 recruit police constables becoming members of the Police Force as he inspected a passing-out parade at the Police College. He urged the graduates to meet the needs of citizens empathetically, and to efficiently respond to societal concerns. Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Chan said that national security is the foundation for Hong Kong's prosperous development. He outlined that police officers, as law enforcers, should have a deep understanding of the provisions and spirit of the Hong Kong National Security Law, take precise enforcement actions, and shoulder their legal responsibilities to safeguard the future of Hong Kong and protect the livelihoods of its citizens. Mr Chan remarked that the force is professional, highly efficient and world-renowned. With its extensive experience, advanced technologies and global networks, he added, it has always been indispensable in terms of international collaboration, contributing towards a safer world. He stressed that the badges worn by Hong Kong's police officers not only represent powers and responsibilities conferred by the law, but also symbolise the trust of over 7 million citizens. The Chief Secretary detailed four aspirations for the graduates, namely: “Always be loyal and uphold the rule of law” – officers should remain loyal to their work, and ensure that each enforcement action adheres strictly to legal requirements. “Be precise and professional, and embrace changes” – officers should constantly enhance their professional capabilities and application of technology, equip themselves with a global vision and insights into global policing developments, and continuously improve their enforcement capabilities under complex international circumstances. “Serve the community with compassion, humanity and courage” – officers should always be accountable for the safety of the public and strive to be trustworthy protectors of citizens. “Be devoted to our home and country, and expand global horizons” – officers should build a foundation in Hong Kong, serve the country, learn from advanced global experience, and further earn international reputation for the Police Force. In conclusion, Mr Chan urged the graduates to resolutely safeguard national security and social stability through courage, professionalism and dedication, and to serve the community wholeheartedly.
