Many industries in Hong Kong have recently appeared seriously insufficient people, and even the police force with high salary and good welfare is no exception.The Hong Kong Police Department announced that three employment requirements were lowered from Friday (May 5) to attract more people to join the police force.
The employment conditions revised by the police include the cancellation of the minimum height and weight.The original Hong Kong male police officer was at least 1.63 meters high and 50 kg, and the policewoman was 1.52 meters high and 42 kg.
In terms of vision testing, the examinet can not wear glasses or contact lenses for vision testing when preliminary selection and physical testing, and now the "not wearing a correction tool vision test" will be canceled.
In terms of language level, the original entry requirements of the Hong Kong Police Force need to get a second or above or above in the Chinese and English subjects in the DSE (that is, the Hong Kong college entrance examination).Another way to meet the requirements of Chinese ability.
"Police Officer Chinese and English Written Test" has 50 to 60 selection questions. Those who have qualified are equivalent to the second grades of the English and English sciences, and "permanent and effective."
The Hong Kong Police said on Wednesday (May 3) that the police will advance with the times and review the recruitment policy from time to time to maintain their competitiveness in the human resources market.The official will hold the sixth police recruitment experience day on June 18 to provide the new "Chinese and English written test" to allow the candidates to evaluate on the spot.
After the Hong Kong Police Force's significant reduction in the requirements of the employment, it caused a heated discussion on Hong Kong netizens.Some netizens left a message on the Police Facebook page that they supported the Hong Kong police. Some netizens were worried that reducing the standard would lead to a decline in the quality of police officers. "Even the requirements of ordinary guards were higher than the police."
The Hong Kong Police Force was a model of law enforcement officers in Asia, but the image was damaged after the anti -repair movement in 2019.In recent years, officially promoted the hope of improving the image of the Police Police, but the recruiter has not reached the standard.The documents submitted to the Legislative Council in February this year by the Hong Kong Government Civil Service Bureau showed that as of March 31, 2022, the official department of the most vacant position was the police office, with a total of 6312 vacancies, with a vacancy rate of 16.7%;There are 5284 vacancies, accounting for nearly 18%of the number of preparations. It is the most lacking person in the Hong Kong government.
The Hong Kong Security Bureau had previously explained the situation of the police team to the Legislative Council that the police team lost a total of 806 people last year, with a loss rate of 2.89%, a new low in three years.Last year, only 654 people were successfully recruited, and even half of the annual recruitment goals could not be achieved. It was a new low in three years.
In order to expand the recruitment, the Hong Kong police have reduced the entry threshold earlier. From April 1 this year, Hong Kong non -permanent residents, which have not been in Hong Kong for seven years, can also enter the police team.At the same time, the police also sent a delegation to Guangdong and Fujian Province for the first time to recruit recruitment activities to Hong Kong students studying in mainland China.
Lin Zhiwei, chairman of the Hong Kong Police Police Association, believes that it is a good attempt to adjust the recruitment strategy to attract talents in response to social development and actual conditions.
Lin Zhiwei pointed out that the physical qualifications and work skills and methods should not be linked. In the past, some people with tall knowledge and tall figures not only did not contribute to society, but made destruction.He absolutely disagrees with the quality of new police officers, because quasi -police officers must enter the school to receive rigorous training for many weeks, such as physical fitness, thinking, law, and acceptance of assessment to officially graduate work.
However, Chen Weiqiang, a lecturer at the Hong Kong University of Technology Hong Kong University of Technology, believes that when receiving an interview with Lianhe Zaobao, the police officer lowering the requirements of the police officer will inevitably affect the level of law enforcement of the police.When some tall prisoners, they are relatively difficult.And the police to reduce the language level of police officers will also increase the risk of wrong supply of police officers in the future.
He believes that in recent years, the Hong Kong Police Force has faced the lack of manpower, but there are still many ways to supplement the "new blood", including considering that some highly educated people who know Cantonese in Guangdong Province can take into account Hong Kong as police officers.
