Noting that the Force attaches great importance to the conduct and integrity of police officers, Mr Lai said that by means of education, counselling and support, the Force had implemented a series of integrity management strategies and measures to inculcate its core values in officers, in a bid to enhance their personal and professional qualities.

The core values include integrity and honesty, respect for the rights of members of the public, as well as fairness, impartiality and compassion in carrying out duties.

"On another front, in its promotion of healthy lifestyle, the Force has established the Police Volunteer Service Corps, the Police Sports Council and Police Arts Council, with a view to encouraging all of its members to participate in community services, engage in a healthy life, enhance personal integrity and foster positive values," Mr Lai said.

He hoped the graduates would adhere to the core values of the Force, maintain a high level of integrity and earnestly support colleagues in need. He also hoped they would continue to promote the culture of integrity and healthy lifestyle within the Force.

Meanwhile, Mr Lai said he fully realised that pressure on the Force, particularly on frontline police officers, had been on the increase. In spite of all challenges, Force members always remain steadfast at their posts and serve the community and maintain law and order whole heartedly. The results of police work are widely recognised among the general public.

He encouraged the graduates to spare no effort in serving the public. He also urged them to engage in lifelong learning and seize every opportunity to acquire knowledge at work and pursue improvement.

A total of 23 probationary inspectors and 177 recruit constables passed out.
