Far-Eastern faces, British uniforms, American and German guns: The Royal Hong Kong Police no longer exists.
For decades, the Royal Hong Kong Police was considered Asia's finest police force: a well-funded, educated and organized group of men from a mix of backgrounds.
So how did they get this reputation? What were the firearms that they used?

The Chinese colonies (Shanghi and HK) were always a rough beat as can be testified to by the Fairburn Sykes fighting knife and Defendu(?). I can remember a 1970s British TV series looking at Hong Kong policing and I particularly remember the treatment of refugees. If they made it to land on HK all well and good but Chinese refugees caught en route were sent back to mainland China with not a care about their treatment in China. This was to prevent HK being flooded with refugees.

Time for story telling: I was once lost at the Repulse Bay beach during a summer outing (late 70s'). I was seperated from mom because of a huge wave. When I got back to the shore, I lost my orientation and couldn't find my mom. As a kid I remember I was scare. I was then picked up by a plain cloth PC that took me to a local police kiosk (many locals will know what I'm talking about). I remember very clearly, the office told me "Don't be scared. If you are scare, we can be scared together." My mom found me at the police kioosk shortly. There were many good officers back then.

@@cupajoe60 If you understand cantonese enough you could also check out some more recommendations below from the final years of the handover grace period where the creative lead still have enough autonomy to skirt around the agenda requirements the CCP wanted them to convey. As a bonus these production's casts were also stacked with alot of familiar faces from the film circle. OCTB by Viu TV (whole series is accessible from youtube) depicts the Organized Crime & Triad Bureau during the early 90's Young & Dangerous Triad fever, More of a Means Streets story. The Defected (2019) take it with a grain of salt about the bureaucracy but this film highlighted the structural change of the Police force throughout the late 90's to the 2010's and the power struggles between the leadership figures loosely based on a real life story. Edit: The "Lee Rock" series serves as the prequel to Chasing The Dragon's event.(This one's a legit portrayal about the Colonial Era PF without any CCP whitewashing, you should start here first.) Chasing The Dragon Kowloon walled city at it's prime and the rampant corruption during the late 60's mentioned in the podcast. Stars Donnie Yen and Andy Lau. Optional: the whole TVB “The Academy series”。 It's just a whole HKPF promotional campaign spanning multiple series depicting multiple character's career journey starting from day one.

Thanks for putting together a really informative video. I was an RHKP officer from 1984 to 1994. In my time I served in PTU both on Company and as training staff, EU HKI and was also a firearms trainer so I recognised a few faces. I also travelled across SE Asia as a competitive handgun shooter. You clearly researched this very deeply. You might be interested to know that RHKP also had a few SA only Colt AR15 HBARs fitted with bipods. These were later interations with M16 A2 rear sight.

While we were shooting for center mass, the RHKP and Royal HK Customs personnel were doing mainly head shots, even from up to 15 meters with their issued S&W model 10s. When we transitioned to carbines and shotguns, they were spot on too. I'll tell you it was impressive to watch and they were a great bunch to train and shoot with. Confident in their ablity without arrogance and very professional. Thank you for the video, it was a good trip down memory lane.

@p99guy Жыл бұрын

I spent a little over 2 decades as a Peace officer in the DFW area, and still work armed security, protecting a College campus. The “Shotgun squads” in the 1960-1970 time frame here in DFW Functioned much like that special squad in NYPD headed by Jim Cirillo Where they would stake out stores that were under unusual risk for a violent armed robbery, and would confront the suspects…. With a fair amount of suspects getting ended right there on the spot, to the point robberys went way down, really quickly because no robber in thier right mind wanted to tangle with the shotgun squad. The NYPD squad heavily used the .30 M1 carbine with expanding bullets, which worked 100% of the time in close range shootings.

Equipment of the IRA? Whatever they could steal, buy, build, have sent to them by Americans or Libyans. RUC issued weapons would make an interesting video because of the political shenanigans in getting stuff from the US.

23:49 Jesus how can I be so emotional about this moment. I'm not British nor a Hong Kong national (i'm Polish), but still had tears building up in my eyes. Britain should never give back Hong Kong to CCP... I know it's "futuresign" talking , but well...

If we had refused it would have been treaty breaking, & the Beijing Government would have had legal grounds for military invasion, which England could not have stopped.

People always talk shit about colonialism and such but you cannot deny the positive effect it has had around the world on many peoples. Everyone focuses on the bad and never the good. Never those who ended up better off. The Opium Wars are considered to be just evil English imperialism and yet the people of Hong Kong quickly discovered that, by comparison, western rule wasn't all that bad. And now they're being absorbed by the CCP. The rights they used to have, gone. The ability to freely speak out, gone. Every election is manipulated. CCP party members are everywhere, in office and hidden amongst the population on the streets. Secret police disguised as protesters who then beat the fuck out of dissenters. Everyone felt bad for Hong Kong and then suddenly forgot about it with Taiwan taking its place in the public's eye. I couldn't imagine what it's like living there now knowing that nobody is coming to help you and everyone seems to have deemed you a lost cause. And yet there are still people out there who genuinely believe socialist ideology is actually a good thing despite directly causing WW2 and much of the current suffering and injustices of the world.

Good presentation. It's unfortunate that the Government in Beijing wants to stamp out the unique interaction of Chinese & Anglo-Saxon cultures that is HK & Tiawan, rather than using them as gateways of cultural exchange between the two worlds. It shows a limitation of imagination & vision.

The RHKP SDU is where I really got in to fire arms. Always highly thought of the RHKP. But kind of lost respect for them for the way how they treated it’s own people of recent. The RHKP to me is not the same as it’s modern day version. RHKP a era of police history gone.

While goose stepping isn't that bad of a deal (I think it's very cool). However, in my opinion they should retain the original British Army foot drill (open palm salute, presenting arms from slope/shoulder arms, 90 degree arm swing, raising your feet) and incorporates it with goose stepping, symbolises the One Country, Two Systems Policy (I saw a mainlander making comment like this) Sadly CCP main goal is to incorporate HK into the mainland as soon as possible, rather than waiting for 50 years.
