Police Corner, written by our Police Chief, Ms. Camas TUNG:The Good Citizen Award 2015It is time for more good news happening on the outlying islands.
A resident of Peng Chau obtained the Good Citizen Award 2015 on 18 June 2015 for positively assisting the Police in the arrest of criminals for theft from temple donation boxes in early 2015. The Good Citizen Award Scheme is presented to honour and recognize those Hong Kong citizens who have greatly assisted the Police in fighting crime.
The Force relies very much on the help, assistance and support from you, the public. We officially recognize very significant help in the Good Citizen Award Scheme, but also encourage you to make contact or come forward at anytime, with any information that you think we need to know. For Lamma Island, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. Let’s work together for a crime free and safe community!
Let me show you the happy moment of the ceremony with the photo below.

Safe CyclingI believe many of you would enjoy biking in the lovely environment on Lamma Island. Be cautious when cycling! In 2014, there were 263 cyclist casualties occurred in places other than cycle track and carriageway in Hong Kong. To better protect yourself while cycling on the hilly landscape on Lamma, please remember to wear a helmet and protective gear. In the last 12 months we have had a number of nasty cycling accidents on Lamma where serious injuries have occurred. Let’s try to prevent any further such cases from happening. Ride safely, be considerate of others and please wear protective gear.
For your safety, the HK Law also requires you to turn on a white light at the front and a red light at the rear on your bicycle when you ride a bicycle in darkness or in poor visibility.
More tips on safe cycling can be found on a pamphlet by Hong Kong Government as copied below:

Finally, I will be out of town on leave from 20th June to 19th July 2015 and my very capable partner,
Station Sergeant WONG, will be doubling-up in my post. Please give your full help and support to him in my absence and I look forward to seeing you all again, happy and safe, in late July!
