DoJ trainees look at police workflow |
||
Twelve Trainee Barristers and Solicitors of the Department of Justice (DoJ) visited the new Central District Headquarters and Central Police Station as part of their Criminal Advocacy Course. The visit gave the visitors a better idea of the structure and workflow of the Force's policing system, and further strengthened the partnership between crime stream officers and DoJ. The three-hour visit started with a welcome by District Commander Peter Morgan. After the welcome, the visitors, accompanied by Detective Chief Inspector Tse Tsui-yan, toured the new Central Police Station and watched a demonstration by officers of a District Investigation Team on how to handle a "victim" reporting a theft case in the First New Generation Report Room, which emphasises transparency and user-friendliness. Three Inspectors - Leung Chi-keung, Yuen Wing-hong and Ng Ho-yin - then introduced workflow, computerised facilities, Identification Parade Room, and modernised Video Recorded Interview Rooms. The legal trainees were also briefed on the challenges being faced by frontline investigation teams and the Structured Career Path for Junior Inspectors. After their visit, the legal trainees said it was a great experience to watch the demonstration on the flow of a case from the Report Room to a District Investigation Team. The presentation, they added, also gave them a good idea of police procedures, of which they had little knowledge. "It is a worthwhile visit, which is beneficial to both departments in terms of the communication and partnership between practitioners and enforcers of the laws of Hong Kong," said one of trainees.
