Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 978 A New Era for the Police Force
Before the reorganization and expansion of the National Security Department, the total number of core management members of the police force was 25.

Now that Zhou Quan has added two new National Security ACPs, there have been major changes to the core management seats and structure of the police force.

Originally, under him, the top police officer, the police force was divided into three major branches according to their work scope.

National Security Group, Operations Group, and Management Group.

Among these three branches, the National Security Group has the fewest seats in the core management.

However, with Zhou Quan's personnel adjustment order completed, the National Security Group seemed to have only added two assistant directors.

But all members of the police force's management are well aware of the deeper meaning behind this.

You should know that the National Security DCP and the National Security SACP are the first persons corresponding to the ranks of Deputy Commissioner and Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police.

Together with the three ACPs from the National Security Department, this will undoubtedly further enhance the National Security Group’s voice within the core management of the police force.

New National Security DCP Luo Danian, new National Security SACP Kwong Chi-lap, new National Security ACPs Ho Man-chon, Lau Po-keung, and Chan Kwok-wah.

These five core management members of the police force will form the new National Security Group of the police force.

On the action team side, the primary person in charge remains the same, and is still the action DCP Zhou Xingxing.

Under him, there are two Senior Assistant Commissioners of Police, namely the new Operations SACP Cheuk King-chuen and the new Criminal SACP Luk Kai-cheong.

In addition, the operations team also occupies ten seats in the core management of the police force.

Inside the police building, there are new operations ACP Zhong Jinming, new support ACP Chen Shouren, new criminal ACP Gong Jiapei, and public relations ACP Liang Ziwei.

Outside the police headquarters are the commanders-in-chief of the six police districts.

New Marine Regional Commander Szeto Kit!

The new commander of the Hong Kong Island region, Au Ho-lun!

Newly appointed New Territories North Regional Commander, Chan Wing Yan!

Newly appointed West Kowloon Regional Commander Ji Shaoqun!

In addition, there are two major regional commanders whose positions remain unchanged in this personnel adjustment plan, Lok Chi-fai of Kowloon East and Kwok Chin-leung of New Territories South.

When it comes to the number of seats in the core management of the police force, the Operations Group is still a unique branch system, occupying almost half of the seats.

Finally, the management team still focuses on managing DCP Liu Jiehui.

He directly supervises three senior assistant commissioners in the police force, newly promoted Finance SACP Kwan Man-chin, Personnel SACP Hon Hau-chung, and Supervisory SACP Mok Kam-chuen.

In addition, there are four Assistant Commissioners of Police.

Police Academy ACP Jiang Ping, consulting ACP Du Wen, and supervisory ACP Chen Liqun.

And the last person in charge is ACP Xu Yongji, who is Liu Jiehui’s most trusted and loyal supporter.

Judging from the number of core management personnel alone, the managers led by Liu Jiehui do not have an advantage.

But he directly manages three senior assistant commissioners of the police force.

This is enough to bridge the gap between managers and the action team and international security team.

Judging from the current seat structure of the core management of the police force, Zhou Quan has not only been ensuring the core position of the National Security Department in recent years, but also trying his best to ensure the balance of the three major branch working groups.

Ultimately, while national security work in Hong Kong Island is important, operational and management work cannot be ignored either.

After all, the triangle has always been the most stable and reliable shape.

Only when the three working groups work side by side can we ensure the scientific and stable development and progress of the police force.

After twelve o'clock tonight, the police force will enter a new era with Zhou Quan as the core leader and a group of young and strong senior police officers as assistants.

Not only that, the newly released list of the core management of the police force also reveals another special meaning. You know, among the 27 core management members of the police force, nearly 70% are from the original security department of the police force.

As the top police officer, Zhou Quan was the founder of the operational work of the former Security Department.

National Security DCP Luo Danian and Operations DCP Zhou Xingxing both came from the Operations Group of the Security Department.

Even the managing DCP Liu Jiehui was originally the head of the security department management group.

Below these four top police officers, the situation is roughly the same for the vast majority of core management officers.

Either he is from the former Security Department, or he has close ties with the Security Department.

There are only a handful of people who have nothing to do with the former security department.

But they also have a special characteristic, which is that they have nothing to do with the foreign forces within the police force in the past.

After all, the Security Department was originally established to replace the Foreign Political Department.

This department is responsible for the core tasks during the transition period of the police force's ownership and is directly commanded by Sir Xu, the first chief of the police force after Hong Kong's return to China.

The Security Department at that time not only attracted a lot of attention within the police force, but also received attention from senior officials in the hometown.

All the police officers in the department were carefully selected.

Only those with outstanding abilities and firm beliefs are eligible to be transferred to the Security Department.

Today, all the former main police officers of the Security Department have become members of the core management of the police force.

This situation is really normal.

At the same time, this also means that the traces of the former foreigners left within the police force have almost been completely eliminated.

The police force is about to enter a new era, and the next work will naturally be very critical.

"All the above personnel will take up their posts soon!"

After the adjustment and deployment of the core management of the police force was completed, Zhou Quan continued to preside over the meeting with a solemn expression.

Then, Zhou Quan's eyes swept across the faces of the three deputy directors beside him one by one.

"Mr. Luo, you and Mr. Kuang will be responsible for the subsequent reorganization plan of the National Security Department and implement all the staffing as soon as possible."

The specific reorganization plan of the National Security Department will of course be the responsibility of the new National Security DCP and the National Security SACP.

"Mr. Zhou, the police force will completely ban the .38 pistols and replace them with more scientific automatic weapons."

"In addition to this, there are other police equipment that need to be updated. Your action team should come up with an effective plan."

The police force's action team is not just responsible for carrying out operations; police weapons and equipment are one of the key duties of the action team.

For example, the work of modifying the weapons of front-line police officers, although the final financial allocation needs to be handled by the Finance Department of the management group.

However, the specific modification plan is entirely decided by the action team.

"Sir Liu, your management team is very important. Make the corresponding financial budget and start the selection process for personnel vacancies in various departments."

Obviously, Zhou Quan did not need to pay personal attention to the contents of these meetings.

He simply gave a general direction and the three major working groups each performed their respective duties.

"Understood, sir!"

The three deputy directors responded to their boss's orders in unison without any communication.
