Officers honoured for being creative, innovative
Director of
Management Services Tang How-kong says that with officers' creativity
and innovation, the Force would optimise resources and enhance
efficiency
Speaking at the award presentation ceremony, Mr Tang pointed out that in the face of challenges brought about by a rapidly-changing society, the Force required not only the experience and wisdom of leadership, but also the creativity and active participation of all officers in the process of devising strategies. This would enable the Force to respond to changes and move with the times.
"Last year, we, through collective wisdom, made steady progress in utilising resources and improving operational efficiency, service quality and working environment. I hope all Force members would remain more innovative and work together for the good of the Force," Mr Tang noted.
Slogan & Poster Competition
Under the Police Staff Motivation Scheme, Personnel Services and Staff Relations Branch organised the Prudent Family and Personal Financial Management Poster Design Competition and Creative Slogan Competition in a bid to make Force members more aware of the concept and culture of "Smart Family and Personal Financial Management". The contest drew a total of 423 slogans and 77 posters, all of which underscore the creativity and artistic talents of the participants, as well as the importance of family and personal financial prudence. Each competition offered a gold, silver and bronze award as well as five consolation awards, which were won by a total of 59 officers either as individual competitors or team members.
Screen Saver Competition
Information Systems Wing also organised the Force Computer Screen Saver Design Competition on Green Management at Workplace to enhance awareness of green management among Force members. A total of 16 teams comprising 90 disciplined and civilian officers took part in the competition with entries carrying the messages of green management, optimal use of resources and good green practices at the workplace. The entries also had a high standard and demonstrated the creativity and artistic talents of the participants. Eight teams comprising a total of 50 members were selected as champion, 1st runner-up, 2nd runner-up and winners of five merit prizes. The winning screen savers will be uploaded to Force computer terminals.
Video Clip Competition
At the same time, Complaints and Internal Investigations Branch's Behavioural Guidelines Video Clip Competition drew an encouraging response from 29 teams competing for various awards. A judging panel comprising academia from the Hong Kong University and the Chinese University, the Chief Mass Media Officer of ICAC, the Senior Police Clinical Psychologist and a representative of the Junior Police Officers' Association, picked 11 teams comprising 100 members as winners of gold, silver, bronze and creativity awards as well as seven merit awards.
After the presentation ceremony, Mr Tang toured the displays put up by different Major Formations and shared with the winning teams the joy of their victories.
