Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 503 Temporarily Carrying the Banner of Police Operations
When Zhou Quan brought Zhou Xingxing into the conference room, the core management of the remaining police force and some police officers from specialized departments had already arrived.

At the top of the conference table sat the duty officer of the police force, who managed DCP Huang.

At the end, there was a Madam, whom Zhou Quan had dealt with several times.

Superintendent Fang Kit-ha, formerly of the Public Relations Department, has now been promoted and transferred to the Criminal Intelligence Department.

Seeing Fang Jiexia present, Zhou Quan realized that this emergency meeting was not a management meeting convened by DCP Huang, but a special meeting.

Otherwise, with Fang Jiexia's level, she would not be qualified to enter this conference room.

"Sorry, sir!"

His eyes fell on the management DCP Huang who was sitting at the back of the conference room, and Zhou Quan made some formal polite remarks.

"I'm late!"

He received the information about the emergency meeting just after 2:30, requiring all personnel to attend the meeting on time at 2:30.

There are still a few minutes before the meeting starts, and Zhou Quan has always been very precise about time.

However, the on-duty chief of the police force had already arrived, so Zhou Quan naturally couldn't remain silent.

"Ah Quan, come and sit down!"

The management DCP Huang waved with a smile and was very friendly.

"It's just now, the meeting hasn't officially started yet."

"It's because we are all in the Grand Hall that we are one step faster than you."

The core management around the conference table are basically the officers in charge of the police force on duty today.

After all, the boss is visiting Europe with some operational chiefs, and it is impossible for the other management within the police force to allow all other management to take a weekend off.

As the deputy commissioner of police management, DCP Huang naturally knew the police force's duty schedule for today.

As the incident happened too suddenly, the chiefs of the various police districts were unable to return to Tai Kwun in time to attend the emergency meeting.

The director-level officers in charge of internal operations at Tai Kwun and the commander of the Hong Kong Island Region are not located in Hong Kong Island.

That's why the managing DCP Huang temporarily notified Zhou Quan and asked him to rush back to Daguan to attend this temporary emergency meeting.

The core management of the police force on the scene is basically composed of administrative chiefs.

Therefore, DCP Huang needs an elite in operations to provide him with more professional advice.

Zhou Quan came to the opposite side of ACP Gao of the Support Department and sat down in the fourth seat around the conference table, while Zhou Xingxing sat in front of the seat of the Chief Superintendent.

The significance of the National Security Department is beyond doubt and the Director and Deputy Director of this department are fully capable of being ranked at the level of Assistant Director and Chief Superintendent of Police.

Among the core management of the police force present, ACP Ko and Zhou Quan can be regarded as director-level officers who focus on operations.

However, although the Support Department is under the jurisdiction of the Operations Department, it is more responsible for some auxiliary internal affairs work.

Especially ACP Gao, who is the direct supervisor of the Public Relations Department of the Police Force.

If you really count it, apart from the chief superintendent-level supervisors of the lower departments, Zhou Quan is the only core management on the scene who has a say in the operations.

"There's no need to wait for the time to be up, let's start now!"

After seeing that all the participants had taken their seats, DCP Huang straightened his expression.

"Brother Yi is not in Hong Kong Island. I will be in charge of the police force for the time being."

He said in a deep voice: "The Secretary for Security just called me and asked me to go to the Legislative Council to answer the questions of the legislators. Everyone understands the seriousness of the current situation!"

At this point, DCP Huang turned his attention to a senior assistant director on his left.

"A Cao, what do you think?"

SACP Cao curled the corners of his mouth, feeling helpless in his heart.

His job was management, and he did not command any criminal departments. He only learned about this emergency after being notified.

Now that the boss asked him what he thought, what could he say?

"Hong Kong Island is still a safe city, with a crime rate much lower than other cities. We have a very complete police system..."

Before SACP Cao finished his words, DCP Huang raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Nonsense, Jen!"

DCP Huang turned his gaze to another senior assistant director on his right and asked for his opinion and views.

SACP Zhan, who was wearing a pair of round-framed glasses, smiled bitterly in his heart. His situation was no different from SACP Cao.

As he did not have much detailed information about the situation on the scene, he could only give a formulaic answer like SACP Cao.

"Based on our past experience, we should be able to identify the target within a week. The success rate of solving the case is 78.9%. That gang of criminals will not be able to escape."

DCP Huang crossed his thumbs, clasped his hands together, and looked at his two direct subordinates in silence.

It was all nonsense going on and on. This was not a performance report. What he wanted was a concise and practical action plan.

However, DCP Huang could also understand his two senior assistant directors, after all, they had both been in management positions for many years.

He had already left the front line of police operations long ago, and in the absence of accurate intelligence, he naturally could not give any useful operational suggestions.

After all, there is a saying that goes, the more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you do nothing, you make no mistakes.

Sir Quan, a tough and hawkish director-level officer, is on the scene, so professional matters should be left to professionals.

DCP Huang tilted his head slightly and turned his gaze to Zhou Quan, the person he truly gave hope to.

"Ah Quan, tell me what you think!"

If there were not two senior assistant directors above Zhou Quan in this meeting, DCP Huang would most likely ask Zhou Quan for his opinion directly.

"Mr. Huang, when I arrived here, I had already ordered the Criminal Operations Division to launch an operation."

Zhou Quan stood up neatly and handed the folder brought by Zhou Xingxing to DCP Huang.

"This is some of the accurate intelligence we have just obtained, and we are closely following up on other intelligence."

"Within 48 hours, the Criminal Operations Division can ensure that the case is completely solved."

"The public has become suspicious of the police force because of the performance of the uniformed sergeant in West Kowloon, so we will use the quick arrest of those criminals to rebuild this credibility."

“Nothing can be perfect at any time or in any matter.”

"As long as the police force demonstrates sufficient trustworthiness, I believe the police force will be able to restore its image in the eyes of the public."

Zhou Quan’s approach was simple. Since that gang of gangsters had affected the image of the police force, he would use thunderous action to eliminate them.

As for what Zhou Xingxing mentioned, within an hour, we can get the specific information about the gang of gangsters.

Regarding this point, Zhou Quan did not bring it up directly at the meeting.

Even though he had complete confidence in his brothers, he still needed to give them enough time to take action.

He and his brothers can do their best to solve the case in the shortest time.

But he didn't want to give his brothers in the police force any excuses.

If something unexpected really happens during this period and the operation is affected, the brothers will have enough time to react and adjust.

Anyway, compared to the one week mentioned by SACP Zhan, forty-eight hours is enough to demonstrate the efficiency of the Criminal Operations Division under their National Security Department.

What's more, Sir Quan has to consider SACP Zhan's reputation.

The other party just said a week, and he directly shortened it to an hour. Isn't this a slap in the face of SACP James in public!
