Thirty-five ICAC investigators embark on graft fighting mission
2005-9-30
Officers of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) must always play fair and act in accordance with the law, no matter how hard the fight against corruption is, ICAC Commissioner, Raymond Wong Hung-chiu, said today (Friday).
Speaking to 35 newly recruited investigators at the ICAC Induction Course 2005 Passing Out Ceremony, Mr Wong said fighting against corruption, which is a secretive crime, is an uphill battle.
"Our investigators must have perseverance and a strong sense of mission. They must serve the community fairly and serve them with integrity," Mr Wong said.
The new recruits, including seven Investigators and 28 Assistant Investigators, completed a 14-week intensive training programme.
Mr Wong reminded the officers that fighting corruption is one of the most demanding, satisfying and occasionally frustrating jobs within law enforcement.
"However, it is a fight well worth fighting. Corruption is a disease that we must resolutely eliminate."
Apart from 35 ICAC officers, two investigators from the Macao Commission Against Corruption (CCAC), and an executive trainee from the Securities and Futures Commission were also awarded certificates today after completing the training course.
Participants received training in anti-corruption laws, investigative procedures and skills, interviewing techniques, procedures in arrest and search, handling of exhibits and computer crimes, as well as the use of firearms and self-defence.
Visits to the Zhuhai Municipal People's Procuratorate, the Zhuhai Intermediate People's Court, the Macao CCAC, and the Macao Public Prosecutions Office were arranged during the 14-week programme to enhance participants’ exposure.
