The anti-revision demonstrations in June last year have shown constant conflicts between the police and the people. In addition to the regular police force, the auxiliary police should also assist in performing crowd management tasks. Yang Zuci, director of the Auxiliary Police Team, said in an exclusive interview with "Hong Kong 01" earlier this year that during the anti-revision movement in the past, the closeness with the regular police has continued to increase. Some front-line auxiliary police have reflected on him the equipment arrangements, and the police can also one by one. Cooperate.

In fact, the idea of ​​the Qudi (Auxiliary Police) is always the same as the work.

Auxiliary police do not need to investigate cases like regular police officers, or drug searches, etc., so the scope of work is mainly focused on operations, and one of the key tasks is internal security (internal security), that is, key protection, patrol, and Protection of police stations and other work. In the case of anti-revision incidents, the auxiliary police also need to be responsible for riot prevention. Yang Zuci revealed that all the auxiliary police tried to use riot gear to attend the second half of last year, and assisted regular police officers to deal with the demonstration conflict.

Yang Zuci also pointed out that in the past, there were front-line auxiliary police who told him that because he had never tried to put on anti-riot equipment in an emergency, he paid more attention to equipment arrangements. He believes that in the anti-revision incident, the closeness between the auxiliary police and the regular police has continued to increase. Whether equipped with helmets, gas masks, etc., the police can provide the first time, and described the front line mentality as "special". It ’s always the same as the regular look at work.

All the police in Hong Kong have learned to do riot control today and have been studying for many years.

"All the police in Hong Kong have thought about doing riot control today"

In addition to anti-riot equipment, auxiliary police also need to receive anti-riot training like regular police officers. Internal security training includes smoke test, hand-throwing tear gas, and tear gas. Yang Zuci said that the above-mentioned training can be adapted to the needs of various aspects of riot control work, describing that "all Hong Kong police officers have learned to do riot control today and have learned for many years, and they have learned everything to apply." As long as weapons are used, the violence that must be stopped can be achieved. "

For example, in the second half of last year, under the circumstances of "pressing strictness", the auxiliary police had tried a lot of internal security work. He revealed that he tried to throw dozens of anti-riot guns and tear gas at people who attacked the police station because someone threw a petrol bomb at the police station. There were also auxiliary police who had deterred the "thugs" with guns on Guanghua Street in Yau Ma Tei.

"I talk about the shock method of students in this class all the time. I think the United States has fired guns, but Hong Kong only shoots you with warm water!" Yang Zuci believes that the police keep distance from demonstrators in the anti-amendment conflict The attitude is not to hurt yourself and others, and then slowly wait for the people on the scene to leave. "This kind of treatment method is not available all over the world, it is our responsibility." He believes that the use of force is appropriate, and he believes that police People can "do more".

However, he explained that because Hong Kong is a very civilized place, he does not think that the Hong Kong police need to lower the standard for the use of firearms. It is also said that foreign countries and China are similar in riot control equipment, whether it is tear gas, tear gas or rubber bullets, these non-lethal weapons, Its effectiveness can be very good, depending on the place and object of use.
