Police pay tribute to fallen police officers (with photos)
**********************************************************
     The Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) held the Force Remembrance Day ceremony at the Police Headquarters this morning (November 7). The Commissioner of Police, Mr Chow Yat-ming, led police representatives to attend and pay solemn tribute to regular and auxiliary officers who made their ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
 
     Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Chow noted that retired and serving Force members were gathered in memory of the officers who sacrificed their lives in pursuit of the Force's mission. He said that the fallen officers' tenacity in preserving law and order, courage in times of danger and passion in serving the community were commemorated and honoured. Their legacy has been etched in history, underscoring that the job of police is a mission worthy of pride. Their dedication to safeguarding the society and people's lives and property has not only been exemplary for each and every one in the Force but has also left a lasting impression on the public, fortifying the long-established professional image of HKPF.
 
     He mentioned that the spirit of the fallen comrades and all devoted Force members has led generations of colleagues to pass on professionalism and the finest traditions. This has enabled the entire Force to forge ahead and tide over obstacles despite challenges to law and order, major incidents, natural disasters and pandemics, allowing Hong Kong to be back on the right track and ensuring the stability of citizens' lives.
      
     He continued, "The global environment remains dynamic and complex. Safeguarding national security and maintaining law and order still require our all-out efforts. I am fully confident that every member of the Force, including regular, civilian and auxiliary, will continue to uphold the professional spirit of our predecessors." He encouraged colleagues to face challenges head-on, strive for excellence and exemplify unity and strength as "One Force", ensuring the HKPF remains one of the finest law enforcement agencies in the world.
      
     During the ceremony, the Police Band bugler sounded the "Last Post" to signal a two-minute silence. Wreaths were laid in front of the Force Memorial Wall respectively by Mr Chow; the Commandant of the Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force, Mr Leung Sai-kwong; and representatives of various police formations and associations.
