  Kowloon West Best Security Services Awards
  Motivating the security services and property management industries to
  combat crime with the Police
  

  On June 5^th, 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 the Police Sports and Recreation Club.

  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.
