In this pioneering study, Sheilah Hamilton shows that, from the earliest days of British rule, the colonial administration introduced harsh legislation to control Chinese watchmen who were employed to protect the fledgling colony's property in the absence of an effective public police force. She examines the growth in different Hong Kong Government departments of what would now be regarded as 'hybrid' police and argues that the existence of such posts within the civil service resulted in greater social control of the local Chinese community at minimal extra expense. Amongst the topics of private security explored are: the impact of the few private security personnel engaged by local Chinese organizations such as the Nam Pak Hong, Tung Wah Hospital and Po Leung Kuk; the evolution of the District Watch Force from a force engaged in purely local security duties to an arm of the Hong Kong Government involved in non-security matters such as controversial sanitary inspections; and the unique system of village guards and scouts in the New Territories. A particular focus is the early maritime security problems and the internal security forces of Hong Kong's shipping companies. A final chapter compares the situation in Hong Kong and explores the similarities and differences with Shanghai during the period.

This is a factual account of the life of an expat Officer in the Royal Hong Kong Police who helped to maintain law and order in the thriving Crown Colony prior to Chinese rule, an era of endemic corruption which resulted in the near mutiny of a 20,000 strong force. The author, pseudonym Jack Humphreys, served as a Bomban, an Inspector of Police, during this critical period of British history. He describes his experiences walking the Hong Kong beat, confronting illegal immigration, leading an SAS-trained anti-terrorist team, setting up a covert Operations Unit of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau and then commanding a Regional Intelligence Unit, in a 20,000 strong force with around 600 expatriate officers. On Christmas Day 1978 Jack and his anti-terrorist team were featured on international television as they landed from an RAF helicopter on the Vietnamese refugee freighter "Huey Fong" to safely extract a Police Tactical Unit platoon delayed on board for over 24 hours. The Yorkshireman was never far from dispute and controversy, being scapegoated into military and police disciplinary tribunals, and courageously sticking by an SAS colleague prosecuted for Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm and Possession of an Offensive Weapon. On conviction the soldier received six strokes of the cane at Stanley Prison before release and repatriation to the UK. That soldier was Pete Winner, author of the international best-seller "Soldier I, An SAS Hero". Jack supported Pete throughout the trial, helping him retain his military career and eventually return to the SAS Regiment where he engaged in the Iranian Embassy Siege and the Falklands War. He returned to uniform for two years and during periods of exceptional success against narcotics trafficking received threats from shadowy triad and police figures suggestive of corruption within the British administrative �lite. After serving a further two years with the Special Duties Unit Jack transferred to command the covert Operations Unit of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau as a Detective Chief Inspector, countering 'Big Circle' gangs from Mainland China and arresting high-ranking triad officials before moving to develop a Regional Intelligence Unit in the New Territories.

Hong Kong in 1970 was the fastest expanding city in the world, a city that lived on three levels - the expatriates, nearly always British who lived in almost complete isolation; the vast mass of Chinese residents struggling to get by and improve their lot; and finally the criminal and corrupt underside which not only fought among itself but also affected the life of everyone else in the Crown Colony through fear and corruption. Fighting to hold this in check - and by and large succeeding - were the Hong Kong police force. At the officer level, many were British. Into this heady and dangerous mix steps a young Merseyside policeman, Chris Emmett. His account of those times brings vividly to life the crime, prostitution, drugs, triad street gangs and corruption that was an important part of the fabric of Hong Kong of those days.
