Cop's Talk
At my post, I've seen wide community support for the Force. At the same time, our relations with the media are such that I'm convinced the majority of them stand by what we're doing for the community. Therefore, I hope Force members, besides offering quality services, will, through PPRB, continue to enhance communication and relations with the media. Through media reports, the public will be able to understand better what we're doing and why, as well as our stances, views and aspirations. Ultimately, this will bring about closer police-public co-operation, mutual respect and understanding.
"Engaging the Community" is one of our four Strategic Directions. Implementing this Direction requires the whole-hearted participation by every member of the Force. In other words, every police officer has to play the role of a Public Relations Ambassador. What every colleague, frontline officers in particular, has to do is to serve with impartiality, devotion, commitment to duties as well as passion for our work. Then we will continue to enjoy the trust and support of the community.
If someone asks me "What is the best PR strategy?" I would say "Fulfil our motto of 'Serving with Pride and Care'".

Working in different units, we have something in common. Both of us are Force-entry officers, were members of the same Probationary Inspector (PI) Intake, and share a passion for jogging. We're also members of the Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps (HKACC), which models the Royal Air Force in offering training in aviation and discipline to young people.
"Influenced" or perhaps "recruited" by Detective Police Constable Tse Kam-shuen of Eastern District, who is a Warrant Officer in the HKACC, we joined the Corps at different times in 2003. Having advanced to the rank of Flight Lieutenant, we both hold the post of Deputy Officer Commanding Kowloon Wing.
Within the HKACC, we have come across many HKACC members who are regular or auxiliary police officers, such as Sergeant Instructor, Sergeant Chong Chi-keung of Tsuen Wan District; Acting Warrant Officer, Police Constable Chu Chi-ho of Cheung Sha Wan Division; and Pilot Officer, Woman Sergeant (Auxiliary) Jackie Kwong of Ma On Shan Division.
HKACC offers, apart from hiking, camping and foot-drill, unique programmes on firing training, parachuting, and helicopter flight. The Corps also offers scholarships for learning to fly fixed-wing aircraft, helicopter and glider, and runs a mentee programme with major local airlines to recruit cadet pilots.
We often share our life experience with HKACC cadets in order to boost their confidence and instil a sense of discipline in them. Through HKACC activities, we have also strengthened friendship with our PI course members as well as police volunteers.
As HKACC members, we find it interesting to participate in public events, for example commanding a ceremonial contingent for the Remembrance Sunday and the July 1 Flag-raising Ceremony. As positive psychology has advocated, voluntary services enhance the personal quality of a volunteer and engaging in a meaningful service like that of police work makes us feel more fulfilled and ultimately happier.
We observe that the Force has projected a very good image among the HKACC cadets and quite a few of them show a strong desire to join the Force to pursue a career. The Force has not earned its good reputation easily. We, as police officers, are determined to help maintain the Force's good image.
