Commandant of the Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force (Commandant HKAPF) Yang Joe-tsi visited Lantau District (LTDIST) earlier. He was briefed by the district management on the change in recent crime trend caused by the development of the epidemic.
Commandant HKAPF conducted site visits to various black spots of illegal immigration and smuggling in the district. He also discussed the deployment of auxiliary officers to coordinate with the district’s policing strategies with Commander of LTDIST Cheung Hoi-yan, Deputy Commander of LTDIST Simon Southgate, Acting Senior Superintendent of New Territories South (Auxiliary) Wong Chun-pun and Assistant District Commander of LTDIST (Auxiliary) Ng Kwok-wah.
With an aim to render full support to regular officers, auxiliary officers of LTDIST currently work seven times a week to perform anti-smuggling duties. In April, auxiliary officers carried out more than 74 man-shifts of relevant duties. Cheung Hoi-yan commented that the commitment of auxiliary officers could alleviate the manpower pressure of regular officers and enhance the efficiency of the district’s policing work.
Police Constable (Auxiliary) Chan Wing-chiu has joined the HKAPF for more than four years and is currently stationed in Lantau North Division. He has experienced how auxiliary officers support regular officers in preventing and combating various crimes in the district. The synergy between regular officers and auxiliary members fully demonstrates their comradeship and commitments to serving the community and maintaining law and order.
