The Police Magazine television programme, which is jointly produced by Police Public Relations Branch (PPRB) and Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), occupied leading positions in the 2012 Television Programme Appreciation Index Survey, ranking fifth in both the first and second quarters and fourth in the third quarter. This indicates that the programme has surpassed many current affairs programmes and garnered more public support. The index survey was conducted under the Hong Kong University Public Opinion Programme in the form of telephone interviews and covered over 2,000 members of the public each quarter on over 350 programmes produced by four local television stations. The survey is regarded as an important benchmark on appreciation of local television productions. Police Magazine Executive Producer Janet Mak pointed out that the production team, in a bid to sustain viewers' interest in the 40-year police television programme and to improve quality, constantly looks for changes in contents, keeps a pulse on current affairs and takes a close look at police work with special features. Encouraged by viewers' support for this production direction, RTHK and PPRB would inject more new elements into the programme in the hope it would attract more viewers from different sectors. Since 1973, Police Magazine has been hammering home messages on fighting crimes and promoting police-community co-operation. The programme also updates the general public on the new developments of the Force. All these are aimed at enhancing the Force's public image and sustaining public confidence in the Force. This year, Police Magazine has produced special features on the work of a number of police units, including Force Search Unit, Emergency Unit and Counter Terrorism Response Unit. The programme has also re-enacted a case of incest in a special feature known as "Lost in Love", with the participation of officers who have investigated the case. The feature has enhanced public understanding and recognition of police work. Striving for more improvements, the Police Magazine production team is planning to re-enact a fraud case of great public interest. Known as "Blackhole", the feature is based on a complicated fraud involving a listed company. Commercial Crime Bureau has taken five years to bust the case, leading to the jailing of the company's chairman, executive directors and treasurer for nine and a half year to 12 years. The feature will show how police officers pitted their wit against a fraud syndicate and the difficulties the officers encountered during their protracted investigations. |
