3. The Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF), also known as the Hong Kong Police (HKP), is the largest discipline service under the Security Bureau of Hong Kong . It is the world's second, and Asia's first, police agency to operate with a modern policing system It was formed on 1 May 1844 by the British Hong Kong government with a strength of 32 officers. In 1969, Queen Elizabeth II granted the 'Royal' prefix and the HKPF became the "Royal Hong Kong Police Force". Following the transfer of sovereignty in 1997, the Royal Hong Kong Police Force was renamed Hong Kong Police Force

Policemen from different ethnic groups were assigned a different alphabetical letter before their batch numbers: " A" for Europeans , " B" for Indians , " C" for local Chinese who spoke Cantonese , and "D" for Chinese recruited from Shandong Province . "E" was later assigned to White Russians who arrived from Siberia after the Russian Civil War .

On 30 April 1841, 12 weeks after the British landed in Hong Kong, Captain Charles Elliot established a police force in the new colony. The first chief of police was Captain William Caine , who also served as the Chief Magistrate .

Prior to 1995, the British Army was responsible for border patrol. 1997 saw Britain's return of the sovereignty of Hong Kong to mainland China. The Force played a prominent role in the handover celebrations and continues to perform flag raising ceremonial duties to this day.
