Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 516 The Police Force Returns with Honor
The honor of the Gold Bauhinia Star was just one of Zhou Quan’s gains at Government House.

In addition, he also received the Hong Kong Island Police Medal of Excellence.

In Hong Kong Island’s newly established honours and awards system, medals of excellence and medals of honour have been specially established for the disciplined forces and the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

The former is a honours and awards specifically given to senior officers of the disciplined forces and the Independent Commission Against Corruption, while the latter is awarded to officers at all levels below the senior officer level.

Although Zhou Quan has already received the Gold Bauhinia Star awarded by Mr. Tung himself, this does not affect his simultaneous receipt of the Hong Kong Island Police Medal of Excellence in another category.

As the Director of the National Security Department of the Police Force and holding the rank of Assistant Commissioner, Sir Quan is naturally a well-deserved chief of the police force.

His outstanding track record over the years fully deserves the Hong Kong Island Police Force Medal of Excellence.

This medal is the best recognition given by the Hong Kong government to Sir Quan’s work.

The current National Security Department of the Police Force was formerly the Security Department of the Police Force.

It can be said that among all the disciplined forces of the Hong Kong government, this is the department that makes the Hong Kong government’s top brass most satisfied.

Therefore, not only did Zhou Quan, the senior officer, receive the Hong Kong Island Police Medal of Excellence, but there were also several other people under his command who received the Hong Kong Island Police Medal of Honor.

Sir Quan brought his brothers to attend today's award ceremony held at the Government House. Naturally, he could not be showing off or acting in such a low-class manner.

The reason is that the brothers around him are also on the list of honors.

Zhou Xingxing! Luo Danian! Guan Wenzhan! Lu Qichang! He Wenzhan! Chen Yongren! Liu Baoqiang!
Since the establishment of the Security Wing of the Police Force, the seven trusted generals who assisted Zhou Quan in establishing the operational foundation of the Security Wing have all received the Hong Kong Island Police Force Honorary Medal.

Whether it is the Gold Bauhinia Star or the Hong Kong Island Police Force Medal of Excellence, it actually represents more of a symbol of honor.

On a practical level, it does not bring any direct benefits to Zhou Quan and his brothers.

They can neither be promoted nor given a salary increase.

However, in many cases, honor is the most precious and rare thing.

Even though Zhou Quan and his brothers are unable to appreciate the changes brought about by these honors for the time being.

But when they face certain opportunities, this honor will undoubtedly play a key and decisive role.

What's more, these honors are not completely incapable of directly benefiting Zhou Quan and his brothers.

At the very least, in terms of influence, they will become more famous because of these honors.

Let’s not talk about those outside the police force for now, let’s just talk about the internal situation of the police force.

Zhou Quan and his brothers will be very different from ordinary police officers.

You know, there are many details in the police force’s appearance and discipline.

Police uniforms, epaulettes, cap badges, etc. are just the most basic identification.

A relatively advanced police insignia is the siren rope on the police officer’s chest.

But in fact, above the sound of the siren, there is a medal.

The medals corresponding to the various honorary medals are the tokens of true honor for police officers.

For example, the Gold Bauhinia Star and the Hong Kong Island Police Medal of Distinction that Zhou Quan has now received can add two corresponding medals on his chest.

Several of his trusted and beloved generals can wear medals corresponding to the Hong Kong Police Force Medal of Honor.

This year is the first time that the Hong Kong government has awarded honors to public officials since Hong Kong returned to the motherland. Prior to this, all the honors and medals corresponding to the Hong Kong Police Force were abolished.

Although there is a category of Long Service Medal for Hong Kong's disciplined forces in Hong Kong's honours and awards system.

For all serving officers of the disciplined forces, the length of service will still be calculated from the year they joined the disciplined forces.

The commendation issued by the Hong Kong Governor's Office is obviously not suitable for current members of the disciplined forces to continue wearing.

Hong Kong Island has entered a new era, but people are still wearing the insignia from the Governor's Palace period on a daily basis. What's going on?
Missing the previous dynasty and intending to restore it?
It is for this reason that the police force’s honors are currently in a blank period.

But starting today, this situation has completely changed.

Sir Quan and his trusted subordinates will be the first officers in the entire police force to wear medals.

Especially Zhou Quan, the number of medals he can wear on his chest is second only to that of his big brother.

In addition to the Gold Bauhinia Star, the police chief also received the Hong Kong Island Police Medal of Excellence.

He was responsible for ensuring the police force's safe transition during the handover period and was the first person in charge of the police force after Hong Kong's return to China.

The contribution of the first brother to the police force is naturally beyond doubt.

If Sir Quan is qualified to receive this honor, how could Brother Yi lack it?
Not only that, Yi Ge was awarded one more honorary award than Zhou Quan.

The officer, who has served in the police force for more than 35 years, was personally awarded the highest level of honor, the Disciplined Services Long Service Medal, by Mr. Tung.

The medal formed by the combination of these three medals of honor will make the logo on the police officer's chest unique in the police force.

A big boss is still a big boss after all. Not only is his rank higher than that of Quan Sir, but his medals are also more colorful than those of Quan Sir.

At today's awarding ceremony held at Government House, the police force was the biggest winner and returned with a great harvest.

It's not just other disciplined forces, but also all the administrative departments of the Hong Kong government.

The police force is undisputedly number one in terms of the number of people who have received commendations and honours.

This shows the importance of the police force to the Hong Kong government.

It is worthy of being the big brother of all disciplined forces in Hong Kong Island and is undoubtedly the most core organization under the Hong Kong government authorities.

Zhou Quan and his trusted generals are the most outstanding representatives within the police force.

After the awarding ceremony, Yi Ge, Zhou Quan and others put on the corresponding medals and returned to the police force’s Tai Kwun to continue their duties.

The small strip-shaped badge on their chests, which ordinary police officers are not qualified to wear, immediately attracted the burning gazes of all their colleagues along the way.

Regarding this, even though Yi Ge, Zhou Quan and others were filled with pride in their hearts, they did not show any strange expressions on the surface.

Even the lowest-ranking person among them is a senior officer of an important department of the police force.

Not showing one's emotions on one's face is just the most basic level of shrewdness.

Keeping calm and steady, all the awardees returned to their respective posts, ready to stand their last shift of the year.

However, just a few days before the New Year's Day holiday, an incident with a very bad impact occurred in the police force again.
