Kowloon East Best Security Services Awards Presentation Ceremony 2016-2017 was organised by the Regional Crime Prevention Office of Kowloon East Region (KE) on October 19. In addition to the presentation of Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards, 41 practitioners were presented with Best Security Guard Awards while 263 others received Outstanding Security Guard Awards, and their corresponding property management companies or security services companies were given the Best Partner Awards or Outstanding Partner Awards respectively.

Regional Commander of KE Ho Yuen-ha officiated at the ceremony and a number of guests presented awards to the winners. The guests were Chairperson of the Security and Guarding Services Industry Authority Ms Jane Curzon Lo; Chairmen of District Fight Crime Committees of Kwun Tong, Sai Kung and Wong Tai Sin; as well as Commanders of Kwun Tong, Sau Mau Ping, Wong Tai Sin, Tseung Kwan O and Railway Districts.

The annual award scheme was the 12th of its kind. The Gold Award for this year went to Mr Chan Wing-on and Ms Lam Suet-wan. When they were on security duty at a private housing estate in Tseung Kwan O on February 3 this year, both of them spotted via closed-circuit television two male suspects climbing over the estate's boundary wall. Mr Chan rushed to the scene and tried to intercept them while Ms Lam swiftly called the police for support. With their alertness and professionalism, they assisted the Force in arresting the two burglars, who were later charged with "Attempted Burglary".
