Wong faces a single charge of indecent assault. The case is set to be brought before the Kowloon City Court on Wednesday.
The inquiry had been handed over to the Kowloon City district crime squad, according to a police representative.
The Security Bureau did not mention Wong but stated that the officer has been put on hold. It noted that since the case is currently before the courts, it would not be suitable to provide additional comments.
The agency emphasized the significance of its staff’s behavior, stating that any illegal actions would not be accepted and would be handled with serious consequences.
It mentioned that regulations and directives overseeing the civil service have been implemented to ensure staffing plans protect the functioning of the service and its capacity to assist the public.
Wong began his career with the Fire Services Department as an ambulance officer in 1997 and took on the role of Chief Staff Officer of the AMS on June 15, 2019.
The role was a permanent government position under the supervision of Commissioner Ronald Lam Man-kin.
Chan Wai-kuen has taken on the position on an interim basis, with the update already visible on the department’s official website.
Founded in 1950, the Auxiliary Medical Service counts approximately 5,000 members. It assists the Department of Health, the Hospital Authority, and the Fire Services Department in times of natural disasters, civil unrest, and other critical situations.
