ICAC Command Course equips officers with leadership skills to confront challenges
2006-11-10
Thirty ICAC officers and law enforcers from other local, Mainland and overseas agencies today (Friday) completed a month-long ICAC Chief Investigators’ Command Course specially designed to enhance the professional and leadership skills of middle managers in the law enforcement field to confront new challenges.
Speaking at the passing-out ceremony, ICAC Commissioner, Mrs Fanny Law Fan Chiu-fun, said: “Faced with increased sophistication and globalisation of corruption, the importance of international cooperation in combating corruption cannot be over-emphasised.
“This course offers invaluable opportunities for exchange of experience, ideas and goodwill among enforcement agencies across countries and territories. This will help to enhance the effectiveness of the battle against corruption.
“The ICAC values our international partners and maintains regular contact with them to share good practices and experiences for continuing professional development and improvement.”
Mrs Law also said the ICAC needed officers whose perseverance, professionalism and integrity were of the highest order, and who were team players and good leaders, equipped with both the broad perspective and the professional knowledge necessary for effec tive enforcement work.
This year’s course, which attracted a record number of participants, featured presentations by visiting and local speakers from prominent legal, business and academic fields, including the Australian Institute of Police Management, and case studies of major investi gations conducted by senior ICAC officers.
Other participating agencies included the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the Guangdong Provincial People’s Procuratorate and the Jilin Provincial People’s Procuratorate of the Mainland; the Commission Against Corruption of Macao; the Australian Federal Police, Australian Customs Services, the New South Wales ICAC of Australia; and the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau and the Police Force of Singapor e. The Corruption and Crime Commission of Western Australia has sent a senior investigator to attend the course for the first time.
Locally, Correctional Services Department, Customs and Excise Department, Fire Services Department, Immigration Department, the Hong Kong Police Force, and the Securities and Futures Commission also sent their officers to participate in the course.
Course participants have been arranged to pay a one-week study tour to various procuratorates in Jilin Province.
