On June 5th, the ‘Kowloon West Best Security Services Awards Presentation
Ceremony 2013’ organized by
the Kowloon West Regional Crime Prevention Office, the Hong Kong Association of Property
Management Companies
(HKAPMC) and the Security and Guarding Services Industry Authority (SGSIA) was held at

Kwai-kee , Kowloon
West Regional Commander, Mr. CHAM Ka-hung Daniel, JP BBS MH, Chairman of the

To promote security and guarding services in the Region, the Kowloon West Regional Crime
Prevention Office first
held the ‘Kowloon West Best Security Services Awards’ in 2001. Its recognition continues
to rise and it has
become an annual grand event organized by the Police and security services industry in
Kowloon West Region. The
event has gained full support and recognition from the industry as the number of
participating individuals,
property management companies and car park management companies has all along been on
the increase. It is also a
platform for the Police to commend the devoted security personnel with outstanding
performance.
Due to social changes, property management has become an important role in services
industry. Under the ‘Security
and Guarding Services Ordinance’, property management companies and security personnel
are dedicated to
safeguarding life and property, and assisting the Police in preventing crimes, so as to
ensure safe environment
for the public.
Last year, Kowloon City District and HKAPMC introduced a pilot scheme known as ‘Project
VanGUARD’, providing a
platform for exchanging information between the District and the property management
personnel. The project has
been launched for half a year with noticeable results. Apart from a significant drop in
the crime rate, the
Police and frontline security personnel have also been in close collaboration to
establish a safe society to the
full extend.
There are also a group of professional, hardworking and devoted security personnel
playing an active role in
maintaining law and order, besides the law enforcement officers. Both the security
management and personnel have
a clear goal of providing a safe environment to the community. It is encouraging that
more and more personnel in
the industry have given their full support in law enforcement and assistance in
preventing and arresting
culprits. The immense group has strengthened the workforce in preventing and combating
crimes.
Assistant Commissioner of Police CHEUNG Kwai-kee, Kowloon West Regional Commander,
encouraged the security
industry and personnel to devote themselves to their jobs and join hands with the Police
in fighting crimes.
