POLICE VIP SECURITY GROUP

VIP PROTECTION UNIT

The VIP Protection Unit (Abbreviation: VIPPU; Chinese: 要員保護組) otherwise known as G4 (originally Section G, Division 4) is a branch of the Hong Kong Police Force. The original name had been given to the unit since it is the 4th division of the former Royal Hong Kong Police Force's Special Branch division.[2] Following the disbanding of the Security Branch in 1995, the VIP Unit was re-assigned under the Security Wing of the Hong Kong Police Force.

It has primary responsibility for the safety of VIPs and visiting dignitaries to Hong Kong.Training techniques taught to all VIPPU officers include VIP protection and unarmed combat.[3] In addition they also undergo training in firearms, crowd control, self-defence, tactical driving, physical and tactical training, Basic Trauma Life Support and English and Putonghua fluency.[4] They also practice simunition exercises with the PTU and the SDU.[4]

POLICE OFFICER PRAYER There are actually two main police officer prayers. Both are listed below: The Police Officer's Prayer to St. Michael Police Officer's Prayer to St. Michael Saint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police, who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional eyes on your earthly force. Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgement. Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations. You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences with the devil that the police officer's lot on earth is not always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration. And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all the people. Amen. A POLICE OFFICER'S PRAYER Lord I ask for courage Courage to face and Conquer my own fears... Courage to take me Where others will not go... I ask for strength Strength of body to protect others And strength of spirit to lead others... I ask for dedication Dedication to my job, to do it well Dedication to my community To keep it safe... Give me Lord, concern For others who trust me And compassion for those who need me... And please Lord Through it all Be at my side...

The police are persons empowered to enforce the law, protect property and reduce civil disorder.[1] Their powers include the legitimized use of force. The term is most commonly associated with police services of a state that are authorized to exercise the police power of that state within a defined legal or territorial area of responsibility. Police forces are often defined as organizations separate from any military forces, or other organizations involved in the defense of the state against foreign aggressors; however, gendarmerie and military police are military units charged with policing. Law enforcement, however, constitutes only part of policing activity.[2] Policing has included an array of activities in different situations, but the predominant ones are concerned with the preservation of order.[3] In some societies, in the late 18th century and early 19th century, these developed within the context of maintaining the class system and the protection of private property.[4]
