Deputy Inspector of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) under the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) Mr Jiang Guoli led a 28-strong delegation to visit the Hong Kong Police Force from October 30 to November 3 with an aim to exchanging views with local officers on investigation skills and evidence collection.

Comprising CID representatives and forensic experts from various provinces and cities, the delegates visited the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau, Identification Bureau, Liaison Bureau, Organized Crime and Triad Bureau and Crime Headquarters of New Territories North Region to share experience with local officers.

Meanwhile, Mr Jiang paid a courtesy call on Acting Director of Crime and Security Chung Siu-yeung, and discussed ways to combat crime. Mr Chung welcomed the MPS to continue sending delegations of forensic experts to Hong Kong so as to forge bilateral co-operation in criminal investigation and the forensic field. Mr Jiang hoped that both parties would maintain regular exchanges to cultivate more professionals in forensics.

During their stay in Hong Kong, the Mainland delegates also called on the Department of Justice, Government Laboratory and Forensic Pathology Service under the Department of Health to gain a better understanding of the local judicial process concerning testimony of expert witnesses.
