Hundreds of residents showed up in the police recruitment exercise that took place on Sunday at the police college, Aberdeen after the entry requirements were compromised. The change in the admission policies influenced the number of Hongkongers to come out and try their luck.
The exercise was said to be the first large-scale police recruitment with some participants emphasising the change as the cause for joining the force. The force lowered the standard for prospective candidates in early May. This year as a result of the continued hiring slump, dropped its height, weight and vision threshold.
The Superintendent of the police recruitment division, Walter Chan Kit-Fung mentioned that he noted an “obvious rise” in applications after the entry standard was adjusted last month but also said the force still could not pledge it would achieve the goal of hiring 240 probationary inspectors and 1,350 constables this financial year.
The criteria for vision, height, weight and education are now lowered. Male candidates were originally required to be at least 163cm (5.3 feet) tall and weigh no less than 50kg (110lbs), while the mark for women was 152cm and 42kg. Candidates also had to pass an eyesight test without wearing glasses or contact lenses.
The application requirements in the past required candidates to have achieved at least level 2 or above in five subjects in the Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) papers. However, current candidates who failed their Chinese and English-language exams would be given an alternative test to write.
The force reported that the exercise included applicants doing various jobs as well as students from overseas and local institutions comprised of 1,563 participants. Some 490 applications were received on-site for various positions, including 81 for the probationary inspector, 341 for constable recruits, and 68 for auxiliary constables.
The starting salary for the most junior position in police as a constable is about HK$27,000 and for the inspector is HK$48,000.
It was said by the police that the requirement to recruit targeted officers has not been made for the past 3 years due to a drawback in the workforce and fewer secondary school graduates. Chan said on Sunday that those conditions are to be blamed.
香港人加入警察隊伍的興趣激增，因為該部隊妥協了其舊標準
在入學要求被妥協後，數百名居民參加了周日在阿伯丁警察學院舉行的警察招募活動。 入場政策的改變影響了香港人出來碰碰運氣的人數。
據說這次演習是第一次大規模的警察招募，一些參與者強調這種變化是加入部隊的原因。 該部隊在 5 月初降低了準候選人的標準。 今年由於招聘持續低迷，降低了身高、體重和視力門檻。
警察招募科總監陳杰峰提到，他注意到入職標准上個月調整後，申請人數“明顯上升”，但又表示警隊仍不能承諾會達到聘用240名見習生的目標。 本財政年度檢查員和 1,350 名警員。
現在降低了視力、身高、體重和教育程度的標準。 男性候選人最初要求身高至少 163 厘米（5.3 英尺），體重不低於 50 公斤（110 磅），而女性的標準是 152 厘米和 42 公斤。 候選人還必須在不戴眼鏡或隱形眼鏡的情況下通過視力測試。
過去的申請要求要求考生在中學文憑試卷中的五個科目至少取得第 2 級或以上的成績。 但是，當前未通過中文和英文考試的考生將獲得替代寫作考試。
該部隊報告說，該演習包括從事各種工作的申請人以及來自海外和本地機構的學生，共有 1,563 人參加。 現場收到了約490份職位申請，其中試用督察81份，新警員341份，輔助警員68份。
警察中最低級警員的起薪約為 27,000 港元，而督察則為 48,000 港元。
警方表示，由於勞動力不足和中學畢業生較少，過去3年一直沒有規定招聘目標人員。 陳周日表示，這些情況是罪魁禍首。
