Tsai Ing-wen
President
I hope you will all adhere to the principles of democracy and rule of law to protect the rights and interests of the general public. I also hope you will stay up to date with the times and continually improve your professional skills. Lastly, I hope you can be disciplined and maintain administrative neutrality.
The valedictorian of this 59th cohort of investigators is Yang Chih-jen, a graduate from National Taiwan University’s Department of Chemistry. He previously worked as a Mandarin Chinese teacher in Vietnam and is fluent in Italian.

Graduating investigator
I was looking for a job where I would interact with people a lot, and that would allow me to use my foreign language skills. As I was looking online, I found that the work at the Investigation Bureau was ideal for me.
This year’s class includes Hung Chieh-lin, a former flight attendant and graduate of Fu Jen Catholic University’s Department of Japanese Language and Culture. Hung’s father and sister are also investigators. Hung is a skilled swimmer, and her physical fitness test broke a record set previously set by her sister.

Graduating investigator
Flight attendants play a very important role in ensuring flight safety. Working for the Investigation Bureau means we have to ensure our nation’s safety. It’s a very challenging job that includes investigating major crime cases. I think I can get a sense of accomplishment from it.
The ranks include another former flight attendant, Huang Yung-hsuan. After working for airlines for seven years, she decided to join the Investigation Bureau to fulfill a childhood dream.
