Police Recruitment Experience and Assessment Day (with photos)

**************************************************************

     The Hong Kong Police Force today (June 18) organised the Police Recruitment Experience and Assessment Day (READ) at the Hong Kong Police College with the theme of “Infinite Possibilities”. Participants were given opportunities to participate in various experimental activities to gain a better knowledge of the recruitment selection process, foundation training programmes at the Police College and diversified police duties, so as to experience how they could unleash their talent by starting a career in the Force.

     The event consisted of three thematic sessions: (1) Selection workshops for Probationary Inspector / Police Constable; (2) Interactive Police Unit Display / Recruitment Talk / Sharing of Training Experience; and (3) Physical Fitness Test Workshops. Recruitment stations were set up to facilitate participants to submit application and undergo initial screening on the spot. The five “Recruitment Spokespersons” also participated in READ to share information about the recruitment process with visitors.

     This is the first occasion where participants can take the newly introduced “Recruit Police Constable Written Examination” during READ. Participants who successfully pass the written examination could be exempt from relevant assessment, and the results will be permanently valid, if they apply to join the Force within three months.

     The theme of the “Interactive Police Unit Display” tied in with the TV reality show “Profession Impossible” showcasing professional facets of the Force duties, as well as the Force's new promotional video “Guarding Our City with Faith (The Prequel)” to be launched on June 24. Meanwhile, during the interactive live show, visitors can experience the challenges and uncertainties frontline officers face during daily patrol. The number of participating units has increased from six to eight this time. In addition, two Volunteer Secondary Duty Cadres, the Police Negotiation Cadre and the Force Search Unit, which participated in the TV programme, “Profession Impossible”, joined the display for the first time.

      A total of 1,563 participants (resulting in 2,008 attendance) joined the Police Recruitment Experience and Assessment Day, during which 490 on-spot applications were received, comprising of 81 Probationary Inspector, 341 Recruit Police Constable, and 68 Police Constable (Auxiliary) posts. Applicants included students of local and overseas tertiary institutes and working people.

     The Force accepts job applications year-round. Persons who are interested in applying for Probationary Inspector, Recruit Police Constable or Police Constable (Auxiliary) can complete the application form at the Police website or mail the completed form to the Police Recruitment Division.
