Successful applicants will undergo training at the Hong Kong Police College in May the soonest.
In the financial year 2017-18, over 21,000 applications were received, which was similar to the application number for the financial year 2016-17. According to the application numbers and recruitment targets of 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 Force will recruit about 1,800 officers (including Probationary Inspectors and Recruit Police Constable) in this financial year.
Being one of the most outstanding and professional police forces in the world, the Hong Kong Police Force is committed to recruiting more enthusiastic and capable persons to join the Force. To enhance applicants’ understanding of the recruitment process, the Police Recruitment Division has produced a series of videos, namely “Madam’s Classroom”, to share with applicants the preparation required for the application process. The videos will be uploaded to the Police Recruitment Division webpage and the Hong Kong Police YouTube channel in phases.
The Force receives applications year-round. Any person interested in joining the Force may complete the application form at the Police website or mail the completed form to the Police Recruitment Division.
