As technology crime has been increasing in recent years, such cases have also become more complex with the emergence of new technology elements. To address the challenge, Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau (CSTCB) and Auxiliary Support Bureau (AUX SUP) jointly established the Technology Crime Support Cadre (TCS Cadre). Its appointment ceremony was held at the Police Headquarters on February 16. The first batch of 30 auxiliary members were appointed TCS Cadre Members overseen by an Auxiliary Chief Inspector. Chief Superintendent of CSTCB Cheng Lai-ki and Senior Superintendent of AUX SUP Kong Wing-cheung hoped that TCS Cadre could promote collaboration between regular officers and auxiliary members and enhance the capability of the Force in tackling technology crime.


TCS Cadre enrols auxiliary members with IT-related expertise and experiences to work together with CSTCB officers for investigation or research. The auxiliary members’ expertise can provide CSTCB officers with new insights and good IT practices to ensure that the efforts of CSTCB can cater for the cyber security needs of our community. Auxiliary members in TCS Cadre should meet the eligibility criteria, including working experience in IT, cyber security or related fields. CSTCB will assess their IT knowledge and skills through a selection process to ensure that they have the capabilities to cope with different types of technology crime. The TCS Cadre members have been performing tasks in cyber patrol, virtual asset tracing, as well as IT system testing and development since March 6.


Auxiliary Station Sergeant Lee Sai-hung


Lee has served in the Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force (HKAPF) for over 27 years, and runs a consulting company providing support to clients on business and IT-related issues.


“After knowing that CSTCB would establish TCS Cadre a few months ago, I registered immediately. I have been eager to participate in the Force’s IT security work. I would like to apply my working experience and expertise to police work, and develop new IT solution for the Force to optimise cyber policing.”


Auxiliary Constable Chow Sit-wing


Chow is a self-employed technology consultant. During the riot in 2019, Chow and his family members were trapped in a car by protesters. He was overwhelmed with helplessness and fear back then. He subsequently determined to join the HKAPF to maintain the stability and safety of Hong Kong.


“In recent years, the upsurge in technology crime has caused many members of the public suffering financial losses. I hope to integrate my knowledge in data protection into policing for combatting technology crime.”
