The Hong Kong government has appointed a former deputy commissioner of the city’s police force to lead the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD).
Albert Yuen Yuk-kin, a former deputy commissioner of operations with the Hong Kong police, will lead the FEHD after retiring from his 37-year police career, the government said on Monday.
The post is among two high-level official positions filled through open recruitment in February. Along with the director of information services role, both appointments went to individuals with police backgrounds.

The move is reportedly part of the city’s ongoing civil service reforms.
Yuen joined the force in 1986 as an inspector.

He had been stationed in various crime investigation units in the 1980s and 1990s, and dealt with the rampant armed robbery cases back then.
