investigating officers, and the handling of complaints against the police. An interim reply (CCPR/C/SR.857, paras. 35-36) was given by the United Kingdom delegation referring to a mechanism for dealing with complaints of abuse. This is the system of inquiries conducted under the Police "Complaints and Internal Investigations Branch", which is monitored by the Police Complaints Committee. A full explanation of this system was given in the second report, paragraph 18 (CCPR/C/32/Add.14, annex F). In 1988, the Complaints and Internal Investigations Branch received 299 complaints against police officers alleging unwarranted stop and search, arising from identity card checks or checks for other purposes, e.g. possession of offensive weapons. Five of the complaints were substantiated. In four cases where there were complaints of impoliteness, unnecessary use of authority, unnecessary use of authority and rudeness, and an internal complaint of improper procedure, the officers concerned were advised that the complaint against them had been substantiated and cautioned about their behaviour. In the remaining case, where there were complaints of unnecessary use of authority, threat and assault, the complaints of threat and assault were found to be unsubstantiated, but the first complaint was substantiated and the officer involved, an auxiliary police officer, was compulsorily retired under section 9(5) of the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force Ordinance. CCPR/C/58/Add.6 page 122 54. Concern was also expressed at the 1988 session o t e uraan igits Committee about the nature of information given to magistrates on the strength of which search warrants might be issued. The Administration has had no complaints that information provided to magistrates before the issue o search warrants is inadequate in any way. The grounds on which any warrant has been issued are open to judicial review in Hong Kong. There have been two recent requests for such review. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the internal workings and accountability mechanisms of the police force in Hong Kong, specifically in relation to handling complaints and issuing search warrants. This suggests that the category should be related to governance, justice, or law enforcement.
