How it's used

Auxiliary police officers in Hong Kong are part time volunteers who undergo rigorous training and hold the same legal powers as regular police officers while on duty. They are often seen performing crowd control or patrol duties during major events or holidays. Distinguishing between them and regular officers is difficult as their uniforms are nearly identical, though they are not full time career professionals.

Common mistake

Do not confuse them with security guards, as they are sworn law enforcement officers with full arrest powers. They are not merely volunteers helping out, but trained personnel who must maintain high standards of physical and professional fitness.
