- sons and daughters over the age of 18 of officers who have served in or have retired from the HKP/RHKP

Structure
The Association has a worldwide membership, with members in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and many other countries.
The routine affairs of the Association are run by a Committee based in London, with a resident Committee representative in each major region.
Where several members are closely located they sometimes form a Chapter to socialise and organise local events.
In the United Kingdom, and some other areas, local area welfare officers assist with the welfare functions of the Association.
