The Finance Wing manages the Force's financial resources prudently and oversees the finances of budget holders within the Force. The Administration Wing aims to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of services rendered by civilian staff members. It performs core administrative duties, executes human resource functions and fosters good staff relations at the civilian grades. The Planning and Development Branch supports the development and implementation of capital works that improve the Force's facilities, to ensure professional policing services are provided to the community.
Finance Wing
Total expenditure of the Force for the financial year ending March 31, 2023, has been estimated at $26.7 billion, which is about 4% of the Government's total budget for the year. Salaries and allowances account for about $19.1 billion of this figure, with departmental expenses and capital items taking up the remaining funds. Fines, penalties and other fees and charges are expected to produce about $1.5 billion in revenue.
Administration Wing
The Force has a civilian establishment of around 4,700 staff members, who provide administrative, secretarial and technical support for police operations. The Administration Wing renders effective support to facilitate the redeployment of manpower resources to fulfil new or ad hoc responsibilities. In the face of Hong Kong's ageing population and a retirement peak in the coming years, the Administration Wing is implementing the Post-retirement Service Contract Scheme, the Final Extension of Service of Civil Servants, and Further Employment beyond Retirement Age, and also formulates sustainable succession plans for various civilian grades.
