Subjected to legal regulations, the Hong Kong Disciplined Services are made up of the following:-
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) reports directly to the Chief Executive.[1] Although they are not typically uniformed, they are considered as a regular force. Much of their work is classified[citation needed]. They treat the identity of the complainant in strict confidence (try to keep it confidential).[2] After lodging a complaint to the ICAC, the complainant cannot disclose the identity of the subject person.[3]
Six regular forces[4] report to the Security Bureau:
- Hong Kong Police Force
- Hong Kong Fire Services Department
- Emergency Ambulance Service [5]
- Correctional Services Department
- Customs and Excise Department
- Immigration Department
- Government Flying Service
Two auxiliary forces also report to the Security Bureau. They are mainly staffed by volunteers trained in responding to emergency and operations.
