My father was District Officer / Ping Shan circa 1950-52.  My vague impression was that his office was on a hill which was also his Special Magistracy.  Could the DO Office be sharing the same place as the Police Station?

I visited this station in 1976 when it was the base of the RHKP Police Dog Unit.
