Auxiliary police also need to be responsible for riot control

The Auxiliary Police Force, which is part of the Support Section of the Support Department of the Hong Kong Police Force, mainly protects important locations, such as police stations and consulates, provides additional police force for command and control centers, and performs foot patrols.

Yang Zuci said, "All Hong Kong police officers have learned to do riot control today and have been studying for many years. use".

Yang Zuci said that the work in the second half of last year was not much different from the past, but the patrol method was changed from walking on foot to riding a patrol car in the past, and mainly based on high profile patrol (high profile patrol), that is, police officers see any Suspicious things are stopped in high-profile searches, usually on Saturdays and Sundays. As for other efforts to prevent crimes, Yang Zuzi admitted that "it really reduces the anger", but basically the police will continue to do what the police do.
