Hong Kong Police Force Chief

As Huang Bingyao slightly raised his hand and lowered it, the warm applause in the police auditorium gradually stopped.

"Now, let's move on to the second item of the meeting."

Slowly fading his smile, Huang Bingyao sighed with a bit of sadness: "The camp is made of iron, and the soldiers are made of flowing water."

"The police force recruits a lot of new blood every year, but at the same time it also sends away many seniors who have served the force for many years."

"Last week, Deputy Director of Operations Sir Zeng, Finance Department SACP Sir Zhan, Personnel Department SACP Cao Sir, Support Department ACP Gao Madam and others applied for early retirement from me."

"Yesterday's Hong Kong government decision-making meeting approved the applications of these colleagues."

"On this great day as our police force enters a new era of information technology, let us bid farewell to several of our colleagues in retirement!"

The moment Director Huang finished speaking, bursts of noisy discussion could not help but erupt in the seats below.

Although these police officers are all members of the police force's management, not everyone can know in advance about the personnel changes in the core management of the police force.

Almost one-third of the core management of the police force retired collectively, which surprised them.

However, when all the retired personnel headed by Zeng Yuming stood up together, the noisy discussion disappeared instantly.

"All of you, salute!"

Zeng Yuming, who rose to the rank of deputy director of police management, issued the last order before officially retiring.

In the last part of his tenure, Zeng Yuming did not use the ghost command, but ended his more than 33 years of service in the police force with his local accent.

As a police captain, he brought SACP Zhan, SACP Cao, ACP Gao and others to raise their hands and salute rarely to his subordinates.

Not only that, all the participants at the meeting did not return the gift. Instead, they all stood up and applauded warmly again to bid farewell to the retired police seniors.

The applause lasted for a long time, and it was not until Zeng Yuming and others took their seats again that everyone slowly stopped.

"Farewell old colleagues and welcome new colleagues."

In the auditorium, after calm returned again, Director Huang Da continued to preside over the meeting.

"Now, let's proceed to the third item of the meeting, which is to announce the personnel changes and adjustments to the core management of the police force."

Director Huang Da raised his hand and adjusted his plain black-framed glasses. He picked up the letter of appointment issued by the Hong Kong government in the form of a red-headed document.

"Li Wenbin, the former Director of the Operations Division of the Police Force, was promoted to Deputy Director of the Police Force, in charge of operations."

"Zhou Xingxing, the former director of the National Security Department of the Police Force, was transferred to the Operations Department and assumed the position of director."

"The former Assistant Director of the National Security Division of the Police Force, Luo Danian, was promoted to Senior Assistant Director of the Police Force and assumed the position of Director of the National Security Division."

"Liu Jiehui, former Assistant Director of the Police Finance Division, was promoted to Senior Assistant Director of the Police Force and assumed the post of Director of the Finance Division."

"Yin Xiaofeng, former Assistant Director of the Operations Division of the Police Force, was promoted to Senior Assistant Director of the Police Force and assumed the post of Director of the Personnel Division."

"Han Xiaozhong, the former Assistant Director of the Criminal Division of the Police Force, was transferred to the Operations Division."

"Kwong Chi-li, former Chief Superintendent of the National Security Division of the Police Force and Head of the Operational Security Department, was promoted to Assistant Commissioner of the Police Force and continues to serve as the National Security Division."

"Mok Kam-chuen, former Chief Superintendent of the Police Supervision Division and Head of the Internal Investigation Division, has been promoted to Assistant Director of the Police Force and assumes the new position of Operations Division."

"Guan Wenzhan, the former Chief Superintendent of the National Security Division of the Police Force and Director of the Political Investigation Department, was promoted to Assistant Director of the Police Force and assumed the new role of Supervisory Division."

"The former Chief Superintendent of the National Security Division of the Police Force and Director of the International Affairs Department, Lu Qichang, was promoted to Assistant Director of the Police Force and took up the new position of Criminal Division."

Director Huang Da's voice was steady and resonant. He made adjustments to the personnel changes of the core management of the entire police force and solemnly announced them at the meeting of all police management.

During this process, the expressions on the faces of all the chief superintendents below changed continuously and were different from each other.

Those who were promoted were either happy or calm.

Most of the people who were still at their current positions couldn't help showing a look of disappointment.

The number of seats in the core management of the police force is limited. If other colleagues are promoted, they will naturally miss this rare opportunity.

After today's announcement of this series of personnel appointments, the core management of the police force will become younger.

Among the chief superintendents present in the auditorium, many had qualifications similar to those of Zeng Yuming and others.

At the very least, they are all seniors who have received the Police Long Service Medal and the Second Order of Merit. They have served the Police Force for more than thirty years.

This missed promotion opportunity basically means that their police career ends at their current position.

Under such circumstances, how could they not feel depressed?

The chief superintendents, who had different ideas, were not in the mood to discuss and talk at the moment.

Even the personnel changes and adjustments in the core management of the police force this time were more shocking to them than the news of the retirement of those seniors just now.

However, although all the new members of the core management of the police force who have been promoted are relatively young, their resume performance is excellent enough.

Therefore, the following chief superintendents did not have any objections to this personnel change.

At least, not on the surface.

More importantly, they were able to judge through this series of personnel appointment adjustments that Sir Quan was strengthening his control over the entire police force.

The will of the future police chief cannot be violated by them.

Unless they have the ability to pull Zhou Quan down from the position of successor to the police chief.

The police force emphasizes purity, and police officers must not work from the perspective of politicians.

But in any case, all the participants at the scene are undoubted senior managers of the police force, and their own political acumen is definitely beyond doubt.

They are very clear that from today, from this moment on, the personnel appointments will be issued.

The police force has entered another era, a new era where Sir Quan has the final say.

Sir Quan is not the police chief, but he is not much different from the police chief.

Compared with the chief superintendent below, the faces of the core management members of the police force on the rostrum are undoubtedly much calmer.

Although they just learned the specific details of the personnel changes, Huang Bingyao had obviously communicated with them before the meeting of all the management of the police force.

"These appointments only concern the core management of the police force."

After putting away the red-headed documents, Director Huang's majestic eyes swept over all the chief superintendents below again.

"In addition, there are other personnel adjustments at the chief superintendent level."

"After the meeting, the Personnel Department will issue relevant documents."

"Each department will accept and handle them on its own, and the promoted and transferred personnel will take up their posts as soon as possible."

It is obvious that the changes at the chief superintendent level below do not need to be personally responsible by the head of the police force.

Otherwise, what is the use of the several director-level police officers in the Personnel Department?
