Upon completion of the selection process, successful Probationary Inspector and Recruit Police Constable applicants will undergo training at the Hong Kong Police College, whereas successful Police Constable (Auxiliary) applicants will undergo training at the Auxiliary Police Headquarters.
In the financial year 2016-17, more than 20,900 applications were received (including Probationary Inspector, Recruit Police Constable and Police Constable (Auxiliary) applications), up by 17 per cent over the previous financial year, and reaching a record high since the financial year 2010-11.
