Thanks
to efficiency of Police in Hong Kong, Hong Kong is regarded one of the
three safest cities in the world. Although it would be tough to compare
crime rates across culture, it would be safe to say that crime rate in
Hong Kong is amazingly in control. Violent crime rate in particular is
very low. Strolling on the streets of Hong Kong, any time in 24 hours,
you could feel completely safe. However, while in crowded markets, you
should be careful of the pickpockets who could make your pocket empty of
your money. Mannerism of Police Personnel
As for the behaviour of the police personnel, they are quite polite to the tourists and always read to help if asked for. But do keep away from doing anything illegal in Hong Kong or you could have to face tough policemen. When you are in Hong Kong, you would see so many policemen. You should not take it another way for they are all deployed for your safety.
Private Security Guards
You would also get to see good number of private security guards. Most of these guard housing or shopping complexes. Even without them houses, flats and shops would be safe because crimes like burglary and theft usually don't occur in Hong Kong. Most guards pass their time watching road traffic.
