HK Auxiliary Police

The Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force (HKAPF) is a professional auxiliary force with a proud history dating back to 1914. For over a century, we have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the regular force, playing an indispensable role in maintaining law and order across our society - a contribution that has been consistently recognised and valued.

While our foundation lies in providing crucial support for internal security operations, the scope of our duties has expanded significantly in recent years. Today, the HKAPF works in ever-closer partnership with the regular counterparts, undertaking an increasingly diverse range of policing responsibilities. Beyond our core functions—internal security, crowd management at major events, and daily beat patrols—our officers now play supporting roles in Technology Crime Support (TCS) Cadre, Traffic Team Cadre (TTC) and report room etc. This evolution has made auxiliary policing both more challenging and more fulfilling, allowing us to leverage our officers’ expertise while further enhancing Hong Kong’s public safety.

What makes Auxiliary Force truly exceptional is the extraordinary diversity of our members, including engineers, IT specialists, legal experts, professionals from banking and finance, educators, aviation professionals, medical practitioners, university students and committed individuals from across society's spectrum. Each brings unique skills and perspectives to policing, strengthening our ability to serve the community. Despite their varied backgrounds, all members are united in their voluntary dedication - giving personal time and effort to uphold the law and order of Hong Kong.

As we look to the future, the HKAPF remains steadfast in our mission to support the regular force across all aspects of policing, from community engagement to upholding national security. We continue to welcome passionate individuals from all walks of life to join us in this meaningful work. Together, we will ensure that Hong Kong remains one of the safest and most stable societies in the world.
