Deputy Commissioner (National Security) (DCP NS) Lau Chi-wai inspected the passing-out parade as Reviewing Officer at the Hong Kong Police College on April 22. As words of encouragement, she told the graduates that the Force had developed from a disciplinary force maintaining law and order into a staunch and reliable law enforcement force safeguarding national security and ensuring Hong Kong’s stability.
In her speech, DCP NS reminded the graduates that peaceful days could not be taken for granted. The riots in 2019 not only undermined the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, but also seriously endangered national security. She hoped the graduates would keep in mind that apart from maintaining the stability of Hong Kong, safeguarding the long-term stability of the country is the top priority of the work of the Force.
Quoting the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China delivered by President Xi Jinping, DCP NS stressed that the graduates must stay alert to threats and dangers, adopt bottom-line thinking and reinforce risk awareness. She hoped the graduates would maintain a sense of crisis in daily work, even though the society is relatively peaceful recently.
Lastly, DCP NS thanked the Force for its cultivation and trust in her, as well as her colleagues for their support and love, in her 38-year police career. It is her lifelong honour to grow up with the Force.
A total of 33 probationary inspectors and 123 recruit police constables passed out.
