Police Night 1998 Ёа Spectacular!

POLICE NIGHT this year lived up to its " Bigger, Better, Brighter" billing combining spectacular performances from the Police Bands and the Hong Kong Police Dance Team, along side thrilling and dramatic "operations" from members of the Special Duties Unit and the Police Tactical Unit. Adding to the vivid sounds and colours of the annual event, teams representing Major Formations competed to manoeuvre a stalled HGP through a series of gates under a time limit. Judging by the applause and reaction from the crowds in attendance, Police Night was enjoyed by all.
