Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Chan said that national security is the fundamental premise and solid defence for Hong Kong's prosperous development. Police officers, as the law enforcers, should have a deep understanding of the provisions and spirit of the Hong Kong National Security Law and take precise enforcement actions, shoulder their legal responsibilities to safeguard the future of Hong Kong and protect the livelihoods of its citizens.
He mentioned that the HKPF is professional, highly efficient and world-renowned. With its extensive experience, advanced technologies and global networks, the HKPF has always been indispensable in international collaborations, contributing Hong Kong’s expertise and strengths towards a safer world.
He said that the badges worn by HKPF officers not only represent the powers and responsibilities conferred by the law, but also honour the trust of over 7 million citizens for a safe and stable life. He detailed four aspirations for the graduates. "Always be loyal and uphold the rule of law"–officers should remain loyal to their work, and ensure that each enforcement action adheres strictly to legal requirements. "Be precise and professional, and embrace changes"–officers should constantly enhance their professional capabilities and application of technology, equip themselves with a global vision and insights into global policing developments, and continuously improve their enforcement capabilities under complex international circumstances. "Serve the community with compassion, humanity and courage" –officers should always be accountable for the safety of the public and strive to be trustworthy protectors of citizens. "Be devoted to our home and country, and expand global horizons"–officers should build a foundation in Hong Kong, serve the country, learn from advanced global experience, and further earn international reputation for the HKPF.
In conclusion, Mr Chan encouraged the graduates to resolutely safeguard national security and social stability with courage, professionalism and dedication, and serve the community wholeheartedly.
