Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 1024 The Last Long-Term Deployment Plan

The implementation of the Crouching Tiger Star Medal honorary award system and the identification of the core leaders of the Crouching Tiger system.

Ultimately, it only had a far-reaching impact within the police force.

That is, the promotion space for undercover police officers has been completely expanded to the core management level of the police force.

As for the strengthening of Zhou Quan's own influence, it is just icing on the cake.

Even without the emergence of Crouching Tiger Star, Zhou Quan is still an important chapter in the history of the police force's development that cannot be ignored.

However, for those brothers who have completed their undercover missions and returned to the police force, the Crouching Tiger Star undoubtedly represents extraordinary significance.

Before this, even undercover police officers were no longer viewed with prejudice by normal police officers under Zhou Quan’s various preferential treatment measures.

However, there are still very serious constraints on the promotion space for these brothers within the police force.

You know, before Zhou Quan's undercover plan started, the police force also used undercover officers.

It can even be said to be quite large, but it is not as complete and sound as the Crouching Tiger Project.

However, among all the undercover police officers before Chen Yongren, not only did they not become commissioner-level bosses in the police force, not even one of them was included in the management of the police force.

Luo Ji, the current Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police and a trusted and beloved general under the command of Lu Qichang, the Big Sir of the Criminal Department, is currently only a Senior Superintendent.

Chen Yongren was able to be promoted to the core management of the police force, and Jing Jinxian was able to secure the position of Senior Superintendent of the police force.

To put it bluntly, they just took advantage of the opportunity and boarded the National Security Bureau's express channel for rapid promotion within the police force.

As for undercover police officers working in other departments, even Liang Xiaotang and Zhang Debiao, two of the Crouching Tigers, are currently only at the rank of superintendent.

Even so, this is because they have a group of bigwigs in the core management of the police force standing behind them.

After ordinary undercover police officers return to the police force, it is very difficult for them to be promoted to the level of police commissioners.

Ever since Zhou Quan had a say in the police force, he has been working, either overtly or covertly, to improve the treatment of his crouching tiger brothers.

After all, the undercover brothers are fighting on the secret front for the police force. According to Zhou Quan's style of doing things, he can't turn a blind eye to such brothers.

However, to date, among the police management level and above, only Chen Yongren is a former undercover police officer.

Zhou Xingxing, the deputy director in charge of operations, does not count. When he was performing the undercover mission, he did not enter the undercover procedure at all.

Strictly speaking, it was just a period of vacation before he was transferred.

The reason is simple. The undercover mission that Zhou Xingxing carried out was not only short in duration, but also focused more on the personal issues of the big boss above.

According to the normal police records, there is absolutely no record of Zhou Xingxing being an undercover agent.

Even though he had several experiences of personal contact with criminal gangs when he was carrying out anti-gang work in the West Kowloon Police District, that was still part of the normal performance of his duties.

Within the police force, there are very strict criteria for the identity of undercover police officers.

Abandoning the identity of a police officer and infiltrating a criminal organization for a long time, this is a true undercover police officer.

Apart from that, the short-term undercover program is nothing more than police officers carrying out their normal work.

For example, Stephen Chow and the retired first generation furniture store god, Chan Ka-kui.

But even if it was Chan Ka Kui, he was only an official senior superintendent in the police force.

In the current police management, there is only one police officer who is clearly a former undercover police officer, and that is Chen Yongren.

Below Chen Yongren is the team of senior police superintendents including Jing Jinxian and Luo Ji.

Among the countless undercover police officers who fight for the cause of the police force, there is not even a chief superintendent at the management level of the police force. No matter how fierce the competition within the police force is, and how scarce the opportunities for advancement are.

However, the existence of this situation clearly and implicitly expresses that the treatment of undercover police officers within the police force is indeed inferior to that of normal police officers.

At the very least, it is reflected vividly in the promotion environment.

However, this situation will undergo a radical change with the implementation of the Crouching Tiger Star Seal and the confirmation of the core leader of the Crouching Tiger system.

Since the emergence of the Crouching Tiger Star badge, all undercover police officers in the police force will inherently belong to the Crouching Tiger system.

In the past, it was almost impossible for undercover police officers to receive various honors and commendations from the Hong Kong government and the police force, no matter how great their contributions were.

However, when these brothers compete with normal police officers of the same rank, they are basically at a disadvantage.

This situation becomes more and more obvious as the police rank increases.

However, the implementation of the Crouching Tiger Star honor means that police officers who used to be undercover are also qualified to stand under the flowers and applause of the police force.

In addition, Chen Yongren, the core leader of the Crouching Tiger faction, has opened up promotion space for undercover police officers in the core management of the police force.

Putting aside overly long-term goals, at least undercover police officers can see the hope of being promoted to the core management of the police force.

This is just like the creation of the post of Assistant Commissioner of Police Du Wen, which allows professional talents who are not good at criminal work to be able to stand on their own within the police force.

As for whether there will be a top police officer who was once an undercover police officer in the future, it depends on the efforts of the brothers in the Crouching Tiger system in the future.

This situation is obviously not realistic in the short term.

Even Chen Yongren and Jing Jinxian could not do this.

Being promoted to Assistant Commissioner of Police was basically the limit for both of them.

The reason is simple: both of them have their own indelible personal flaws.

Thanks to Chen Yongren's background, he was able to enter the core management of the police force, which was the result of Zhou Quan's strong support.

His identity as the illegitimate son of Ni Kun, the former drug tycoon in Hong Kong, is ultimately a mark that Chen Yongren cannot change.

Jing Jinxian's situation is even more complicated than Chen Yongren's.

At least Chen Yongren was admitted to the police academy normally, and he has no legal relationship with Ni Kun.

However, the process by which Jing Jinxian joined the police force is essentially impossible to delve into.

The future of the police force cannot be left in the hands of these two people.

The Hong Kong government does not agree, and his hometown is even less likely to sign and approve it. Even Zhou Quan himself will not force it in this regard.

But no matter what, Zhou Quan used the Crouching Tiger Star Medal and his brothers such as Chen Yongren and Jing Jinxian as banners to provide a relatively fair promotion environment for the undercover police officers below.

This matter will also be Zhou Quan’s last long-term deployment plan within the police force.

After the first batch of Crouching Tiger Star medal winners were announced, Zhou Quan began to relax his power.

Luo Danian, the National Security DCP who was deeply trusted by him, had lost his status as Acting Director, but he still continued to act as the director of the police force.

Just like Huang Bingyao did back then, Zhou Quan has also made preparations for Luo Danian to take over.

Zhou Quanfang will only be personally responsible for work that requires the involvement of the top officer of the Hong Kong Island Police Force.
