Memorial held to mark Police Remembrance Day

Xinhua, October 22, 2015 Adjust font size:

About 200 people marked the annual Police Remembrance Day at Police Headquarters in Hong Kong's commercial district Wan Chai on Thursday to honor police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.

The Last Post, a traditional military bugle call, was played, followed by the observation of two minutes' silence.

Stephen Lo, the Commissioner of Police, said officers will continue to strive to serve the community.

"Time and time again, we police officers confront danger and continually face the uncertainty of whether our duty to protect and serve will place us in harm's way", he said.

Lo praised officers who subdued a knife-wielding man in Western District on Monday, saying their bravery demonstrated that the police will, "for the sake of the safety and stability of our community", never flinch from this challenge. Endit
