Liaison

Liaison Bureau (the former Interpol Bureau) acts as a co-ordination centre
in dealing with criminal information and associated inquiries between the
Hong Kong Police Force and other police organisations. It also maintains
close liaison with local consulate officials.

The bureau's Liaison Division maintains contacts with the Mainland police
authorities. Close liaison has been kept with Interpol China National
Central Bureau in Beijing, the Guangdong Liaison Office, Shenzhen and
Zhuhai Liaison Sub-Offices in Guangdong Province and other Mainland
law enforcement organisations. Two liaison officers from the China
National Central Bureau are attached to Hong Kong. Since 1992, 105
criminal fugitives and 104 stolen vehicles had been returned to Hong
Kong from the Mainland.

Since the transfer of sovereignty, the Interpol Division represents the
Force as a sub-bureau of the China National Central Bureau, in the
International Criminal Police Organisation (ICPO), better known as
Interpol. A Hong Kong Police officer is seconded to the ICPO General
Secretariat in Lyon, France to work in one of its specialised groups.
