Commissioner Tang Ping-keung visited Kwun Tong Police Station on November 25 to learn about the new measures of station security and chat with a cross-section of officers in Kwun Tong District (KTDIST) so as to understand more about their challenges during Operation TIDERIDER. He also met with officers who have been working in the District's high profile patrols (HPPs) and heard of their successes in handling incidents of violence.

Upon arrival, the Commissioner was taken to the station roof for an overview of the station attacks that took place in early August and to receive a briefing on the extensive improvements to security since then. The Commissioner then met over 100 officers and outlined his four priorities, namely "stopping violence, curbing disorder and restoring the rule of law", "enhancing readiness and responses in major incidents and terrorist attacks", "supporting our officers on all fronts" and "unifying with community and garnering support". He gave examples to flesh out what he meant in each area.

The Commissioner then mingled with officers from different units in KTDIST to understand more about their challenges and show support and appreciation for all their hard work. He learned of the resource constraints imposed on officers working in sub-units and their suggestions for managing the situation. He spoke with members of the District HPPs, who, in addition to their normal duties, have been providing additional manpower at weekends and other busy periods. Each of the three HPPs comprises 16 officers and is commanded by a chief inspector. Officers are drawn from Miscellaneous Enquiries Sub-unit, Administration Support Sub-unit, District Special Duties Squad, Task Force Sub-unit and District Crime Division. In the six weeks since their creation, the District HPPs have made 42 arrests in 24 different cases.

A sergeant of Patrol Sub-unit 1 of KTDIST said afterwards, "The Commissioner made me feel that he understood people and you can really talk to him." A station sergeant who is a member of one of the District HPPs said, "The Commissioner is very kind and caring. He talked about the current situation and gave us encouragement. We also discussed issues relating to the procurement of equipment and support for our families. We felt free to talk about whatever we wanted."
