Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 758: Alertness and Response

The fundamental reason why the police force is recognized as the top disciplined force among the police forces is the more than 30,000 police officers and the corresponding weapons they are equipped with.

As the Hong Kong government’s largest violent agency, Sir Quan’s voice is naturally the loudest in the scene.

The Hong Kong Police Force is more than just an agency under the Security Bureau of the Hong Kong Government's Chief Secretary.

At this moment, on Zhou Quan's right sat Senior Assistant Commissioner and above of the police force.

Of course, the top brother Huang Bingyao did not attend this meeting.

The operation of the police force is now basically handed over to Zhou Quan.

In addition, this special disaster preparation meeting was initiated and convened by Zhou Quan.

Director Huang certainly wouldn't take over the show and come over to destroy his nephew's stage.

On Zhou Quan’s left are the heads of other disciplinary forces.

"Everyone here should be familiar with the sea god codenamed Typhoon."

Looking around at everyone present, Zhou Quan did not make any long speeches and went straight to the point.

"After all, the focus of our Hong Kong government's work in recent times cannot avoid this storm that may land and sweep across Hong Kong Island."

"The Observatory issued a warning document fifty minutes ago."

"Some of you here have already known about this matter in advance, but some of you may not know yet."

"Before the meeting begins, let me briefly introduce the situation."

Having said this, Zhou Quan paused for a moment.

"It's zero eight fifty five."

He raised his hand and glanced at the red five-star dial on his wrist, and continued solemnly, "In another fifteen minutes, the Observatory will officially announce a new warning message."

"The danger warning level for Typhoon Haishen will be raised to a Gale or Storm Signal No. 8."

"Everyone, what do you think?"

As Zhou Quan finished speaking, the conference hall was divided into two distinct situations.

The other two deputy commissioners of police and six senior assistant commissioners all sat upright.

The expressions on their faces were firm and resolute, as if they were following the lead of their boss.

On the other side, several other heads of disciplined forces exchanged glances with each other.

They finally looked at Lu Minghua who was sitting opposite Zhou Quan, but no one spoke first to express their opinions.

The authority of the police chief is unquestionable, especially now that the theme of the meeting has been clearly stated to involve national security.

In this case, as long as Sir Quan's orders are reasonable, they will not have any objections at all.

But besides Sir Quan, there was also a Sir Lu sitting in the meeting room.

The Security Bureau is only the nominal management body of the police force, but their other disciplined forces are completely under the command of the Security Bureau.

Mr. Lu didn't say anything, so how could they dare to express their opinions without authorization?

Feeling the inquiring gazes of his subordinates, Lu Minghua did not delay any further.

"Sir Quan, you are the one who initiated and led the meeting."

He first made his attitude clear, and everything at the meeting centered around Zhou Quan.

"Just give the order on what to do next."

Then, he made a promise in a strong and sonorous voice, which was also an order to the leaders of the disciplined forces under him.

“Colleagues from other disciplined forces pledge to cooperate with the police force in responding to the disaster.”

Deputy Chief Lu also comes from the hawkish faction of the police force, so naturally his style of doing things is equally efficient and decisive.

"Since Sir Lu has said so, I won't be polite to my colleagues." Nodding slightly, Zhou Quan took the initiative to arrange the various arrangements.

"Later I will ask my brother to sign an executive order to adjust the police force's alert to level 2."

"All police districts in Hong Kong will delay their morning and afternoon shifts by two hours, and all frontline officers will cancel their leave."

"The police force will deploy two-thirds of its police force to prevent possible storm disasters and prevent criminals from taking advantage of the situation."

"In addition, I will also make a recommendation to the National Security Council to raise the emergency response level for Hong Kong Island to severe."

"Gale No. 8 warning, and Typhoon Haishen is heading straight for Hong Kong Island."

"We must be on high alert and make preparations in advance to prevent natural and man-made disasters."

The police force's alert levels range from high to low, namely level one alert, level two alert, and the normalized level three alert.

Hong Kong Island's response level is divided into three levels: alert, serious, and emergency, from low to high.

The police force's alert level has been raised, and Zhou Quan himself has sufficient authority.

However, Wong Bing-yiu is currently in Hong Kong Island, so Zhou Quan cannot serve as acting director.

He must have informed Wong Bing-yau about raising the police force's alert level.

Of course, this is just a formality.

As for the response level of the entire Hong Kong Island, that is not something Zhou Quan has the right to decide.

Only the Hong Kong government is qualified to jointly pass the relevant resolutions.

In a sense, the Hong Kong Island National Security Committee is also a kind of decision-making level of the Hong Kong government.

After all, there is a considerable degree of overlap in personnel within these two decision-making bodies.

"Sir Quan's conclusion is very pertinent. Typhoon Haishen should not be underestimated."

As soon as Zhou Quan finished speaking, Lu Minghua followed up with his support.

"I will also report this to the Executive Council and support Sir Quan's decision."

The Executive Council of the Hong Kong Government does not belong to the decision-making level of the Hong Kong Government, but is more like a staff advisory body.

But this organization was specially established to assist the big bosses of the Hong Kong government.

Therefore, the resolution passed by the Executive Council is basically equivalent to the decision made by the decision-making level of the Hong Kong government.

The speeches by Zhou Quan and Lu Minghua directly determined the outcome of today's meeting.

Even though neither of them mentioned other disciplined forces outside the police force, the heads of the disciplined forces present were very clear about it.

As long as the two bosses report to their superiors, provided there is a reason behind the incident.

The proposal just made will definitely be implemented in the shortest possible time.

The emergency response level in Hong Kong Island has been raised. How could the heads of the disciplined forces not have any reaction?
"Yes, sir!"

All of a sudden, all the participants on both sides stood up in unison.

Members of the Police Force, Customs and Fire Department raised their hands to salute, while heads of other disciplined forces held their heads high and chests puffed out.

It is obvious that the attitudes of all participants present were very clear. They promised to work together to cooperate with the decisions of the two bosses and make preparations in advance.

"Without further delay, everyone take your positions and start working!"

Zhou Quan stood up and looked at the participants on both sides, and ended the meeting efficiently and quickly.

He did not interfere too much in the work arrangements of other disciplinary forces, but simply unified and strengthened their thoughts.

It is a taboo for an amateur to command professionals, and Sir Quan would naturally not make such a mistake.
