Chairman of the IPCC, Mr Jat Sew-Tong, was invited to deliver a presentation on police professionalism along with Mr Chong Yiu-kwong, the Chairperson of the HKHRM and a teaching fellow in the Department of Education Policy and Leadership at the Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd). The public lecture, “Law Enforcement and Professionalism in the Hong Kong Police Force”, was one of the discussion topics under the institute’s research project on Hong Kong citizens, institutions and culture. The IPCC Chairman highlighted the importance of a police complaints system to ensure professional and quality service from the Police Force. The lecture was well attended by students, HKIEd staff, and members of the public. It encouraged fruitful discussions on police professionalism in handling various public issues, which are helpful for the IPCC’s future planning to oversee the handling of police complaints.
