A new role in fighting crime \Vhen government decided to launch Hong Kong's first ever "Fight Violent Crime" campaign in 1973 they changed the primary role of the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force. Until then the main job of the auxiliaries had been to aid the regular Force in times of emergency and in matters of internal security. With the launching of the campaign, which brought government, police and the public into the front-line as crime fighters, the auxiliaries were given a greater part to play as watch and ward policemen. More and more auxiliaries appeared on the streets; patrols were increased; manpower support for the regular Force covered most of its duties and commitments. In short, the auxiliaries were now playing an increasingly important role in helping to prevent and curb the crime wave which was causing concern to all members of the community. The form and amount of such support depends on the operation policies and priorities in existence at any particular time and are determined and declared by the Commissioner of Police. The R.H.K.A.P.F. is established and regulated under the provisions of the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force Ordinance, Cap. 233, the Auxiliary Forces Pay and Allowances Ordinance, Cap. 254, and related subsidiary legislation. The Commissioner of Police, with the prior approval of the Governor, may order a full call-out of the Force under Section 16(1) of the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force Ordinance, Cap. 233. He may also order a limited callout under Section 16(2); such authority may extend to the call-out of individual members of the Force for specified active The number of personnel required for active service duty (Section 16(2)) in support of the regular Force will be determined annually by the Commissioner of Police and will normally be related to the overall policing commitments and the deficiency in the establishment of the regular Force. Such duties may include watch and • — .-.. I if. 11 , :. ward, crime prevention, neighbourhood policing, traffic control and enforcement, marine policing, communications and community relations. Attendance at such duties will be in accordance with the remuneration provisions of Section 7 or the Auxiliary Forces Pay and Allowances Ordinance, Cap. 254. The Force when mobilized in times of emergency on full or limited call-out will provide personnel for internal security duties in accordance with the Force Mobilization Plans. When members of the Force are performing duty, they are authorized to perform all or any of the duties of a regular Police officer as declared under Section 10 of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force Ordinance, Cap. 232.
