About Us
I am deeply honoured to have the opportunity to lead all members and cadets of the Civil Aid Service (CAS) in jointly undertaking the vision and mission of a highly efficient auxiliary force. We are fully aware that to uphold Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability, the CAS must continue to strive for excellence and work closely with other government departments and organisations to safeguard the safety of our citizens and protect our homeland.
Young people are the future of Hong Kong, and their growth and development are directly linked to the progress and hope of our society. Through the work of the CAS Cadet Corps, we bear the responsibility of nurturing the younger generation, not only cultivating their positive mindset, but also deepening their sense of national responsibility and broadening their global perspective. We will guide them to establish correct values, enabling them to become responsible and capable pillars of society in the future.
We will continue to uphold professionalism, adhere to our principles and be innovative, and contribute to the sustainable development of Hong Kong.

Commissioner, Civil Aid Service
Welcome to the Civil Aid Service (CAS) homepage.
The CAS is an auxiliary emergency service financed by the government. It is formed by over 3,700 members from the Hong Kong community. The Service's primary duty is to augment the regular front-line emergency forces in the event of natural disasters and other emergencies. It also provides various community services such as crowd management for community activities, fire-prevention patrols in country parks, and provision of training on mountain hiking safety to the public.
The CAS also runs a youth service, viz: the CAS Cadet Corps, which comprises more than 4,000 young people aged 12 to 17. Through various disciplinary and vocational training as well as community services, Corps members are provided with opportunities to develop their leadership, to exploit their latent talents, and to learn about discipline and civic responsibilities.
The following pages provide more detailed information about the CAS. We strive to better serve the community of Hong Kong and we welcome people from all walks of life to join us.
