Royal Hong Kong Police Sergeant, Hong Kong, All Our Yesterdays
Like all great disciplined services such as armies and police force,s the backbone of the organisation depends on the quality and reliability of NCOs (non-commissioned officers). These men and women have risen through the ranks because of their service, loyalty, and ability to a position of command and respect.
Here, our RHKP sergeant takes down notes into his police notebook.
ON THE BEAT IN HONGKONG
Among the many great delights of living and working in th great city of Hong Kong for almost 50 years (47 to be exact) is being able to tell overseas visitors and tourists how clean and safe it is to walk around it, day or night . Certainly, a lot safer and cleaner than many great cities in Europe or in the U.S..
One of the main reasons for this safe street environment is the very visible but not intrusive presence of patrolling police officers on foot and on the beat.
Today, the Hong Kong Police numbers about 34,000 men and women, mostly regular but including around 4.000 part-time Auxiliaries.
Throughout its long history, the Force has been serving the people of Hong Kong in good times and bad while weathering storms, typhoons, and all kinds of trials and tribulations in both colonial and more recent times.
These latest Royal Hong Kong Police figures go back to the mid-late 1960s when the then British Colony was going through a period of rapid change and tumultuous times in the city. In 1969, as peace and law & order returned, the Police Force was granted the ‘Royal’ for their steadfast loyalty and support throughout the civil disturbances
As can be seen here, the uniforms shown are typical of the British Colonial style of the post World War Two era. All three figures are wearing their ‘Summer’ uniforms with ‘Shorts’ and long socks.
