“At work, I am responsible for planning and managing projects related to the police force, including the electronic system of their training facilities,” Kwok said.

“I could feel their professionalism in the constant contact with them, which piqued my interest in their work.”

She added that she applied for the job at her mother’s encouragement, who was herself an auxiliary police constable in the past.

“Growing up, she used to share stories of her experiences with me, and now I would tell her mine.”
