Minifigure – Hong Kong Police Senior Officer (Inspector Rank) (LEGO Compatible)

The Figure: Hong Kong Police Senior Officer (Inspector Rank)

This toy minifigure represents a high-ranking officer of the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF). While the previous figure (PG-1038) depicted a “Blue Shirt” constable (rank-and-file), this figure wears a White Shirt, which identifies him as an officer of Inspector rank or above (Dup Chat).

• Headgear: He wears the standard black Peaked Cap (Service Cap) with a silver cap badge.

  • Insignia: The badge represents the modern Bauhinia emblem used after the 1997 handover.

• Uniform (Summer Dress): He is dressed in the White Summer Service Uniform.

  • Torso: The figure wears a White Button-Up Shirt with a Black Tie. In the strict hierarchy of the HKPF, Junior Police Officers (JPOs) wear light blue shirts, while Inspectors and Superintendents wear white shirts.

  • Details:

    • Red Lanyard: A distinct Red Cord/Lanyard is printed on his left chest pocket. In uniform traditions, colored lanyards often denote specific staff positions, commendations, or simply serve as a whistle cord.

    • Pocket ID: The text “POLICE” is printed above the left pocket, along with pocket flap details.

  • Legs: He wears Dark Blue Trousers (Royal Blue), matching the standard issue breeches or trousers worn by senior officers.

• Face: The figure has a serious, authoritative expression, fitting for a commander.

Historical & Cultural Background: The Hong Kong Police Force maintains a strict visual distinction between ranks, a tradition inherited from its British colonial history.

• “Blue Shirts” (Constables & Sergeants): The beat cops who patrol the streets.

• “White Shirts” (Inspectors & above): The commanders who manage units, lead investigations, or oversee stations. This figure represents the leadership on the street. An officer in this uniform would typically be seen directing operations at a crime scene or commanding a platoon of blue-shirted officers during public order events.
