Extended data

1956, the Double Ten riots broke out in Hong Kong, killing 59 people and injuring more than 300 people in just two days. The Police Force is fully aware of the necessity of strengthening its anti-riot capability, and allocated 654.38 million Hong Kong dollars+500,000 yuan to set up a special department to deal with emergencies. 1958 in February, after two years of planning, the police training detachment (PTC) was formally established in Fanling military camp, responsible for riot control, crowd control and reopening blocked roads. ?

At that time, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong appointed Captain L.F.C. Guyatt as the training director of the training unit and appointed him as the chief inspector. After being appointed, L.F.C. Guyatt improved the riot control strategy of the British army and added the Hong Kong element. Therefore, the tactics and training contents of the training unit come from the British army, and they need to be distinctive and representative. In view of this, the police department announced the training unit as a paramilitary force for a long time.

1968, the organization of the police training detachment was changed and renamed as the police mobile unit. After the police mobile unit became a semi-militarized unit, senior managers thought it was necessary to change uniforms. With the consent of the Commissioner of Police, all police officers changed into blue berets, leggings and military boots at 1969. Because the image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the army is commonly known as the police tactical unit. ?

The headquarters of the emergency unit is located in five land areas and manages four three-shift patrols. Each patrol has about 70 personnel, plus 12 patrol police cars. In addition, the emergency detachment includes rural patrol, centralized illegal escort detachment, cutting tactical detachment, military mobile video cadres and video detachment.
