Completion date taken from pg.98 of "Asia's Finest Marches On", which also says:
Later development saw construction of the six-floor Arsenal House, which features huge lifts that can carry fully laden lorries to the specially designed rooftop, larger than a football field, where drill practices and bomb disposal exercises can be held.
Completion date taken from pg.98 of "Asia's Finest Marches On", which says:
When the glass-shrouded 33-floor Arsenal House West was completed in 1996, it provided badly-need space for units including commercial crime, triad bureau and many other CID arms.
Completed in November 1973, according to Offbeat:
New May House was built from 1971 to 1973 to replace the then May House in Gloucester Road which was more famous for its curries than as a police building. The new May House became fully operational in November 1973 after a plaque-unveiling and opening ceremony, at which Princess Alexandra and then Commissioner of Police Charles Sutcliffe officiated.

My current project is researching the lives of “The Twelve Apostles” and “The Forty Thieves” – i.e. the two groups of Royal Marines recruited to the Hong Kong Police in 1899 and 1900 respectively. Anyone interested in the stories will find them on my Hong Kong Police Ancestors Blog: http://hongkongpoliceancestors.blogspot.co.uk/
DoB from John Black's list, which gives Nichol's occupation in 1941 as "Police Department".
Peter Grant was my father. He was for a time Chief Inspector of Police in Hong Kong (unsure of district) and was awarded a Kings Police Medal in 1933. He returned to UK in 1937 married to Laura Joyce Dobbin some many years younger than himself. My sister was taken with him into a second marriage, and I was adopted at birth a year later in 1940. She and I only got to know about each other in 2011 and are not linked and in contact.
