Of the more than 60 billion yuan, more than 3 billion yuan was allocated to the Police Department. Data shows that the police force now has more than 36,000 police officers.
At the end of 2019, when the Hong Kong Legislative Council was deliberating on the proposal to adjust the civil servants’ salary for 2019 to 2020, the opposition asked the Legislative Council Finance Committee to split the police force’s salary adjustment from the civil servants to deal with it. The move sparked letters from multiple civil servant groups to express their opposition. At the same time, a large number of Hong Kong citizens came to the Legislative Council building to protest and submitted petition letters to Legislative Council members, fully supporting the Legislative Council Finance Committee to pass a salary increase in the Hong Kong police force, to show that all Hong Kong people thanked the police for sticking to their posts and stopping violence and chaos with their lives.
