Completely transferring Chinese -style step operations, personnel expansion, and equipment upgrades, the Hong Kong Police Force shows a new look

On July 1, 2022, a total of 112 police officers in Hong Kong Golden Bauhinia Plaza, police defending the flag guards and disciplinary forces in honor of the honor forces, and made a neat appearance in the Chinese style. In the national anthem, the national flag rose. For this moment, the police officers have trained under the scorching sun and the hot summer for a long time.

The Hong Kong Police Force New Chapter ——

The transformation from British step to Chinese step exercises

In late June, at a high temperature of more than thirty degrees, a flag guard team in the Hong Kong Police Academy was stepping up training to prepare for the 25th anniversary of the return of Hong Kong.

In the twenty -five years of returning in Hong Kong, the flag -raising ceremony of the reunification of the return of the year has been responsible for the Hong Kong Police Force. Different from previous years, from July 1st this year, the Hong Kong Police Force will be fully converted from traditional Hong Kong -style operations to Chinese steps.

Traditional Hong Kong -style steps are developed on the basis of British steps, while Chinese step exercises are many different.

Hong Kong -style step operation and Chinese -style step operation, each step is 75 cm, but when the Hong Kong -style step is running, the heels must be on the ground, and the Chinese -style step is required to be on the ground when the step is. The kick must be at 25 to the ground 25 Cm is.

Lift the gun and salute, hold your head up. Kick, step, powerful. Strictly adjusting the details of the toes, training and learning are naturally not small.

In 2021, the PLA's army in Hong Kong began to provide Chinese -style battle training for the five disciplinary forces in Hong Kong, and completed the first show in Hong Kong in April. From receiving all -Chinese step training to the flag -raising ceremony with Chinese -style steps, the Hong Kong Police Force is entering a new chapter in history.

Lu Haihao, the retired director of the Hong Kong Police Force: Lu Haihao:

"I think this significance is very important, because I have been thinking many years ago, why do our discipline troops still use British -style or Western -style step -by -time exercises, and no team is used in Chinese. Slowly see it. The transition occurred, the "National Flag Law" and "National Anthem Law" began, the National Security Law began, and we started to see this change. "

In the past three years, in addition to step operations, the Hong Kong Police Force has begun to innovate. In 2019, the motto of the Hong Kong Police Force was "service -oriented, excellence", and updated to "loyalty, courage, and society."

Although the training process of Chinese step exercises is hard, the police officers have incorporated more new understanding in it.

Practice and firearms training police station sheriff Qiu Dexing:

"I am very pleased to turn to Chinese step exercises. I believe that every police officer is like me. It is more practical and feels closer to the motherland."

In addition to the transformation of hands and steps, the language of the issuing order has also changed from English to Chinese. The passwords that have both Cantonese and Mandarin have combined the tradition of Hong Kong's characteristics and the Chinese army, which is the next new attempt for the "one country, two systems".

Hong Kong Police Force -

One of the oldest police teams in the world

The sound of sound and sound, the crisp and shiny password, showed a group of tough policemen's image, and also attracted more young people to join the police.

The Hong Kong Police Force is one of the oldest police teams in the world. At the beginning of the port in 1844, Hong Kong had the prototype of the police team that maintained public security.

Since 178, the Hong Kong Police Force has experienced a variety of reorganizations, upgrades, and reforms, and has gradually become a service -oriented professional force.

Former Hong Kong Police Governor Lu Haihao:

"In fact, the police force is constantly improving, and it has also changed from a patrol team to a semi -military police force. It didn't take long for the title of" Asia's Best Police "."

On July 1, 1997, Hong Kong returned to the motherland. The name of the "Royal Hong Kong Police" became history. The responsibility of the new period was engraved with the Bauhinia emblem on the police emblem of the Hong Kong police.

Since the return, the police have witnessed the world's attention development, and it has also been committed to Hong Kong's among the safest and stable cities in the world. In the "World Competitiveness Report", the reliability of the Hong Kong Police Force's services has risen, ranking among the best.

The last barrier to Hong Kong's social security and stability

In 2019, the "Black Storm" incident pushed the Hong Kong police to the front line of conflict and pressure, and also caused the police force to face unprecedented challenges. As of the end of 2019, a total of 551 policemen were injured during the operation. Faced with the challenge, the police team was united and stopped violence, and held the last barrier of the stability of Hong Kong's society.

Former Hong Kong Police Governor Lu Haihao:

"They know that they cannot lose, because the Hong Kong police are the last line of defense in Hong Kong. We can be injured, but after we are injured, we must immediately bandage our wounds and stand up and return to the front line to fight."

Tan Huizhu, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress Hong Kong Basic Law:

"With the efforts of the SAR Government and the Police Force, the situation of social security has resumed stability. In the rule of law rating of independent third -party institutions, Hong Kong's ranking in the rule of law and judicial independence has resumed rising."

In order to further promote Hong Kong to change from chaos, governance, and revitalizing, on June 30, 2020, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress officially adopted the "Hong Kong National Security Law" to quote and protect Hong Kong from proceeding in the principle Essence

On July 1 of the same year, the Hong Kong Police Office added a national security office to combat behaviors and activities that endanger national security. As of May this year, the Hong Kong police arrested a total of 186 people based on the National Security Law, of which 115 were prosecuted.

Personnel expansion and equipment upgrade-

The new face of the Hong Kong Police Force

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the return of Hong Kong and the second year of the implementation of the "Hong Kong National Security Law". With a new look, the Hong Kong Police Force has witnessed Hong Kong from chaos to flourishing and opening a new chapter. On the eve of July 1st, the Hong Kong Police Force ushered in the first uniform update since 2005. The airport special police, the counter -terrorism special team and the railway response forces have replaced the dark blue, gray blue and light gray uniforms specially customized by the Mainland.

On June 24, the new equipment of the police force, the "sword -tooth tiger" of the domestic armored vehicle, sent a patrol for the first time. In May of this year, six new armored vehicles "Sword Tiger" were officially delivered to replace the "Ruiwu" armored vehicle, which has been serving for more than 10 years.

As the fourth -generation armored vehicle of the Hong Kong Police Force, not only all glass can be bomb -proof, but the tires can continue to drive after bombing, and the protection performance is greatly enhanced. At the same time, the whole car is equipped with tear guns, sound wave dispersion, and a comprehensive infrared recording system. The body is also equipped with multiple shooting holes to improve its counterattack ability.

The latest debut is the "increase code" tactical bus purchased by the Hong Kong Police Force. The new car uses explosion -proof glass and tires to improve the window to opaque effect, and set multiple surveillance lenses on the roof, which greatly enhances its defense capabilities. In addition, the new car also has an emergency window, which can fire tear bombs to meet the needs of the action.

Ling Zijie, head of the counter -terrorism special team:

"We now hope to have more communication with different special police departments in the Mainland. In terms of equipment and tactics, we can improve each other."

The equipment continues to upgrade, and the personnel are constantly updated. In response to the manpower gap, the Hong Kong Police Department actively moved to attract more fresh blood to join the police force.

At the same time, the police recruitment standards have gradually relaxed. In 2020, the Hong Kong Police Office launched a number of strategies such as "Heartless" and "Different You" to encourage people 30 or more people and people from other industries to join the police force.

In April 2022, the Police Department relaxed restrictions again and canceled police officers, trainee inspections and auxiliary police officers who had to live in Hong Kong for 7 years or more. They only required the applicants to be permanent residents of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. This means that the "double non -" people born in Hong Kong but lived in mainland China can also join the police force.

Former Hong Kong Police Governor Lu Haihao:

"This is a good thing. First, we have a new force for new forces; second, you are a permanent resident may not mean that you have the ability to be a police officer, but it means that you have lived in Hong Kong for a long time. You may be familiar with the situation in Hong Kong. , But I believe that many college students who come to Hong Kong from the Mainland, their understanding of Hong Kong, their knowledge, their loyalty to the motherland, and their love for Hong Kong will not lose to Hong Kong people who are permanent residents. In fact, in fact, in fact, We should beckoned to this person. "

"Loyalty and courage to society" -Ably, the Hong Kong Police Force has further expanded social services. On the recruitment day, the family conflict and sexual violence policy group and the missing population investigation team made the first disclosure to the public.

Such a childish face is also the future hope of the Hong Kong Police Force. In organizations such as young warnings and Hong Kong Youth Military Associations, a group of police teams are taking shape.

Police spirit, intergenerational inheritance. The 25th anniversary of the return, Hong Kong society has opened a new chapter, and the Hong Kong Police Force also faces the future with a new look.
