About 170 officers gathered at the Senior Officers' Mess in Police Headquarters for the traditional pre-Christmas get-together on December 19.

Speaking at the event, President of the Senior Officers' Mess Committee Ms Cheung Ching sent season's greetings to Mess Members and wished them good health and a fruitful year in 2019. She also paid a special tribute to the Life Mess Members attending the event, some of whom travelled from overseas to show their support.

Meanwhile, Commissioner Lo Wai-chung thanked the officers for their contribution in maintaining Hong Kong as one of the safest cities in the world in the past year. In a time-honoured tradition, he served Christmas turkey to the participants, with the assistance of Deputy Commissioner (Operations) Tang Ping-keung.
