Pat Laidler 30th April 2024

Passed out of training school to Wong Tai Sin District where Mr Connors worked as Assistant Divisional Commander Admin. As a very green inspector i was used to seniors being a bit short or gruff, however, I found Mr Connors to be very helpful and prepared to offer sound advice. If you asked him to officiate an Identify Parade he would always make himself available and later when he moved to Cheung Sha Wan he would continue to help with id parades connected to my remand prisoners in Lai Chi Kok. I can picture him now standing in the mess at the bar reading the newspaper with a coke on top of the bar and a San Mig under it. He was always happy to talk about football and i think his team was west brom although i may be wrong. RIP Mr Conners you helped me a lot with your guidance and advice in my early career.
