HK Police Magazine 1956

Submitted by Bails on Sun, 2020-03-01 18:12

Whilst trying to locate an old friend who used to be in the Marine Police (without success) I happened to come across a resource which I want to share with HK Police enthusiasts. 

It seems that copies of the HK Police Magazine which must have been printed and circulated in 1956 have been digitized and kept by HKU.

1920s Hong Kong

Submitted by ca.giles on Thu, 2019-09-12 23:29

Hello there

I'm lucky enough to be returning to HK next month after a 25 year absence - anything changed? :)

I lived there between 1992 and 94 and am so excited about visiting again and seeing old (and new) sites. Im particularly interested in colonial HK and the police force as it would have been in the 1920s.

Could you recommend the best places to visit to see colonial buildings and/or the history of the police force from that period? I did see a youtube video about the old Central Police Station opening as a museum - would that be worth a visit?
