The Gurkha Contingent was formed on 9 April 1949 in order to provide a "strong-arm" within the Police Force capable of quelling civil disturbance and carrying out specialist security tasks. This role expanded to include VIP protection and initially included patrols into Peninsula Malaya to pursue the communist terrorists who were active there at that time. The original camp was on Duxton Plain, near the City Centre but the unit subsequently relocated to its current cantonment at Mount Vernon.
In 1978 the unit was reorganised briefly to form the Prison Gurkha Unit (PGU) but this was reversed and the Gurkha Contingent as it is known today was reformed on 1 April 1981 and its terms and conditions of service, operational roles and training were standardised. The unit continued to perform prison duties until a decision was made in 2006 to fulfil Police security duties only.
