Tsing Yi Police Station, once also known as Tsing Yi Division Police Station is the only police station on Tsing Yi Island in Hong Kong. The station is located at Tsing Yi Heung Sze Wui Road, between Tsing Yi Police Married Quarters and Tsing Yi Fire Station, below Chung Mei Tsuen of Ha Ko Tan. Its front faces Greenfield Garden, a private housing estate.[1]
The police station is the headquarters of the Tsing Yi Division, under the New Territories South Region. It was designed to be a district police station for the island. But, the population does not grow as quickly as expected and still under 200 thousand. It thus remains as a division police station .[2] [3]
The police station includes a report centre.
Some operational units of the New Territories South Regional Headquarters occupied part of the Tsing Yi Police Station until mid-2005 when they were relocated to new building in Tsuen Wan. This caused attention from the Audit Commission who recommended that the Commissioner of Police review the use of unused space at the station.[4]
After the commencement of new town development on the island, the Royal Hong Kong Police Force established a neighbourhood policing office in public housing estates like Cheung Ching Estate and Cheung Hong Estate. As the population grew rapidly in 1980s, a new police station is established.
