     The Secretary for Security, Mr John Lee, said, “In the face of different opinions, challenges and increasing public expectations from the society, the Government is most grateful for the invaluable contribution of the IPCC in safeguarding a fair, effective and transparent two-tier police complaints system in Hong Kong. I would also like to thank the Vice-chairmen Mr Christopher Cheung Wah-fung and Mr Tony Tse Wai-chuen, and members Dr Cheng Kam-chung, Mr Richard Ho Kam-wing, Mr Herman Hui Chung-shing, Mr Edgar Kwan Chi-ping and Ms Shalini Sujanani, who will leave the IPCC by the end of their term on December 31, 2020.

The IPCC Ordinance provides a statutory basis for the IPCC’s role and power and the two-tier police complaints system. It also imposes a statutory duty on the Police to comply with the IPCC’s requirements. The IPCC comprises a Chairman, three Vice-chairmen and 22 non-official members. read more
