The "2017/18 Ceremony to promote Service Excellence and Integrity Management" took place at the Police Headquarters on June 1, with the presentation of awards and souvenirs to Force units and awardees for their excellent service. A Force-wide contest, "My Police Story", was also launched at the event. The contest seeks to promote professional pride by encouraging officers to share their own stories, highlighting the noble virtues of Honour, Duty and Loyalty.

Officiating at the ceremony, Commissioner Lo Wai-chung thanked the awardees for their efforts and contributions, and praised their innovative ideas. He emphasised reinforcing professional pride to strengthen integrity management.

Commissioner Lo stressed that the Force has been recognised in four distinct ways. Firstly, the Central People's Government has praised the work of the Force. Secondly, Hong Kong is experiencing the lowest crime rates since 1975. Thirdly, the results of the Police Service Satisfaction Survey and the Public Opinion Survey 2018 indicated that Hong Kong citizens have a high degree of confidence in the Force. Finally, the recent court rulings have affirmed the efforts of the Force to maintain justice.

Meanwhile, a souvenir and certificates were presented to Deputy Commissioner for Efficiency Mrs Patricia Lau and the E-Police Division (EPOL) of Information Systems Wing in appreciation of the assistance offered by the Efficiency Office and EPOL in carrying out the Staff Opinion Survey 2018. The survey was conducted directly by the Force for the first time.

A number of high-profile international and local awards captured by the Police College were also presented at the ceremony:
