The Figure: Hong Kong Police Officer (Uniformed Patrol)
This toy minifigure represents a standard uniformed officer of the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF). Unlike the specialized “Flying Tigers” (SDU) figure seen previously, this figure depicts the “Beat Cop” or Patrol Sub-unit (PSU) officer seen daily on the streets of Hong Kong.
-
Headgear: He wears the standard black Peaked Cap (Service Cap).
-
Insignia: The cap features a silver Cap Badge. In the post-1997 era, this badge depicts the Bauhinia Flower against a skyline view, replacing the colonial British Crown. This identifies him specifically as a modern HKPF officer.
-
-
Uniform: He is dressed in the modern Dark Blue Patrol Uniform (introduced in roughly 2004 to replace the olive greens).
-
Torso: The printing shows a Dark Blue Jacket (Windbreaker) worn over a Light Blue Shirt with a black tie.
-
Key Detail: The left chest is printed with white text in both English and Traditional Chinese: “POLICE 警察”. This bilingual signage is a hallmark of Hong Kong’s legal system and history.
-
Equipment: A printed Radio Microphone is clipped to his left lapel, simulating the “Beat Radio” used for communication with the command center.
-
-
Legs: He wears matching Dark Blue Trousers with printed pocket details and black boots.
Historical & Cultural Background: The Hong Kong Police Force is famously known as “Asia’s Finest.” Since the 1997 Handover from Britain to China, the force has retained much of its British-style structure and drill but updated its symbols (removing the “Royal” title and crown insignia). This specific “Blue” uniform is instantly recognizable to anyone living in or visiting Hong Kong and is a staple in HK cinema (crime thrillers and action movies). This figure represents the backbone of the force, responsible for neighborhood patrols, traffic control, and emergency response.
