Police Recruitment Experience and Assessment Day (with photos)

     The Hong Kong Police Force today (June 16) organised the Police Recruitment Experience and Assessment Day (READ) at the Hong Kong Police College with the theme of "Ordinary is Extraordinary". Participants were given opportunities to participate in various experimental activities to gain a better knowledge of the selection process, foundation training programmes at the Police College, and the diversified police duties, which can enrich their preparedness to join the Force and achieve their extraordinary goal to serve the community.

     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 applications and undergo initial screening on the spot.
      
     "Live Streaming Recruitment Talk" was held for the first time for candidates who were unable to attend the event in person, as well as students currently studying on the Mainland and overseas, so as to provide them with the same opportunity to learn more about the selection process and interview skills.

     Three new Recruitment Spokespersons made their debut in READ to encourage participants to join the Force. They were chosen from more than 100 applicants in a rigorous selection, and will take part in various recruitment activities to share their inspiring stories and aspirations, with a view to attracting applicants from diverse backgrounds.
                 
     A total of 1 783 participants (resulting in 2 391 attendance) joined the Police Recruitment Experience and Assessment Day, during which 863 on-spot applications were received, comprising of 245 Probationary Inspector, 519 Recruit Police Constable, and 99 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.
