The President of the Legislative Council (LegCo), Mr Andrew Leung, inspected the passing-out parade for 48 probationary inspectors and 275 recruit constables at the Hong Kong Police College today (June 23).
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Leung said that fighting crime, upholding the rule of law, and protecting life and property are the mission and duties of Police officers. Police officers would come into contact with people from all walks of life and clashes would sometimes be inevitable when discharging duties. He believed that as long as the graduates could act in accordance with the law, uphold the values of the Force, and deal with people fairly, impartially and compassionately, they would win public trust and bolster public confidence in the Force.
He reminded the graduates to remain dedicated to serving the community, and do their utmost to fulfill their duties while not forgetting the passion of joining the Force nor yielding to any difficulties.
At last, Mr Leung said although there may be full of challenges ahead as they serve the community and uphold the rule of law, he believed that the graduates are determined to live up to the commitment of the Force to serve with pride and care.
