Over 140 officers attended the traditional pre-Christmas get-together at the Senior Officers' Mess of the Police Headquarters during lunch time on December 21, 2017.

Speaking before lunch, the President of the Mess Committee, Mr Cheuk Hau-yip, sent season's greetings to the Mess Members and wished them an auspicious start to 2018. He also paid a special tribute to the Life Mess Members, some of whom travelled from overseas to show their support for the event.

Meanwhile, Commissioner Lo Wai-chung thanked all the officers for their devotion to duty last year and their contribution to a record-low crime rate. In a time-honoured tradition, he served Christmas turkey to the participants, with the assistance of the two Deputy Commissioners.
