     The Hong Kong Police Force today (October 13) organised the Police Recruitment Day (Autumn) at Police Headquarters, recruiting Probationary Inspectors, Recruit Police Constables and Police Constables (Auxiliary).

    A total of 2,406 applications were received in this recruitment exercise, similar to the application number of the same period last year. Applicants included graduates of local and overseas tertiary institutions, working people and ethnic minorities.

     The Police Recruitment Day provides one-stop service to applicants, including initial screening and scheduling of written examination for Probationary Inspector candidates; initial screening and group interview for Recruit Police Constable candidates; and initial screening and seminar for Police Constable (Auxiliary) candidates, which helps shorten the time required for the recruitment process. Successful applicants will undergo training at the Hong Kong Police College in January next year the soonest.

     In the financial year 2018-19, the Force aims to recruit 1,850 police officers, comprising 230 Probationary Inspectors and 1,620 Recruit Police Constables. The Auxiliary Police Force aims to recruit 320 Police Constables (Auxiliary).

     The Force has been adopting a proactive recruitment strategy to attract high calibre candidates who possess the required competencies to serve. To help candidates prepare for the selection process, the Recruitment Division had launched the third episode of “Madam’s Classroom” series, which introduced the preparations that candidates could make for the physical fitness test.

     The Force accepts applications for Probationary Inspector, Recruit Police Constable or Police Constable (Auxiliary)year-round. Applicants could complete the application form at the Police website or mail the completed form to the Police Recruitment Division.
