SCMP Reporter

MANY Junior Police Call (JPC) members should have met Inspector Robotcop as he has made numerous appearances at various fight crime campaigns in the past few years.

  The hard-working Inspector was recently 'promoted' to Chief Inspector, and his post will be taken over by a new robot recruit from America.

  Inspector Robot got his promotion six-and-a-half years after joining the police force in December 1988.

  Robot, as he is known, will most likely take up 'desk duties' after he recovers from minor surgery to rectify some tired creaky joints.

  However, he will still be seen at carnivals and school gatherings occasionally.

  His understudy is undergoing final training in the US and is expected to arrive in a few months.

  The strengthening of the Robotcop team has been made viable with a generous donation from McDonald's Restaurant (HK) Ltd, which had earlier presented a cheque of some $200,000 to Police Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Tsang Yam-pui.

  The money is to finance the new Robot's equipment and training. Like his predecessor, the new Robotcop will be used by the Crime Prevention Bureau (CPB) to spread law and order messages among youngsters.

  'We receive numerous requests for Inspector Robot to attend kindergartens, primary schools and youth organisations,' said a CPB spokesman.

  Like the original Robotcop, his new American 'cousin' will operate by remote control and will be able to 'talk' to youngsters and answer their questions in Cantonese or English.
