Police Recruitment Day (with photos)
************************************
A total of 2,304 applications were received in this recruitment exercise, which was the second record high in the past Recruitment Days (Winter). Applicants included graduates of local and overseas tertiary institutions, working people and non-ethnic Chinese persons.
According to the application numbers and recruitment targets in the past three financial years, an average of 40 applicants competed for a Probationary Inspector vacancy, whereas about 10 applicants competed for a Recruit Police Constable vacancy.
The Police Recruitment Day provides one-stop service to applicants, shortening the time required for recruitment process. Successful applicants will undergo training at the Hong Kong Police College in March the soonest.
To let applicants learn more about the Force’s professional training, officers of the Hong Kong Police College set up display panels on site to introduce the foundation training provided to Probationary Inspectors and Recruit Police Constables as well as the corresponding accreditation standards under the Qualifications Framework (QF). They also answered applicants’ questions on the spot.
The Hong Kong Police College is committed to providing training to develop officers into police professionals with the highest ability and integrity to serve the community. In 2014, the 36-week Probationary Inspector training programme and the 27-week Recruit Police Constable training programme were successfully accredited by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications. Upon completion of the training programmes, the Probationary Inspectors and Recruit Police Constables will be awarded with professional certificates at QF Level 5 (at the same level of a Bachelor Degree in the academic sector) and at QF Level 4 (at the same level of an Associate Degree or a Higher Diploma in the academic sector) respectively. Both training programmes are articulated with degree programmes of some tertiary institutions with credit exemption.
The Force receives applications year-round. Any person interested in applying for the posts of Probationary Inspector, Recruit Police Constable and Police Constable (Auxiliary) may complete the application form at the Police website or mail the completed form to the Police Recruitment Division.
