About district officer
A District Officer (DO) is a directorate public officer who serves as the head of one of the 18 district offices in Hong Kong, making them the top representative of the Hong Kong Government to the district to which they are assigned. The position of District Officer was established in urban Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Kowloon in 1968. DOs have served as the ex-officio commanders of Care Teams in 18 political areas since 2023, and as chairmen of District Councils from 2024. District Officers are assisted by an Assistant District Officer (ADO), who is an administrative officer (AO) or a senior administrative officer (SAO). By convention, all DOs are appointed as justices of the peace by the Chief Secretary for Administration or Chief Executive of Hong Kong.
