The Force has always strived to arrange quality overseas training opportunities to enhance officers’ professional abilities and forge partnership with overseas counterparts. In October and November in 2022, Hong Kong Police College (HKPC) arranged two batches of officers to attend the Command and Staff Course of the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and to visit SPF.
Between October 13 and November 11 in 2022, Senior Inspector Hui Chung-ki was arranged to attend the four-week SPF Command and Staff Course held mainly for officers of middle management. The first stage, which was knowledge-based, covered negotiation skills, resource management, morale management, operations planning and handling of major incidents, followed by a ten-day outdoor experiential training to strengthen participants’ operational abilities during adverse situation.
Between November 7 and 15 in 2022, Superintendent Chow Wing-yee led a ten-member delegation to visit SPF and INTERPOL in Singapore. The delegation visited the SPF Headquarters, Anti-Scam Center, Home Team Academy, Special Operations Command and Protective Security Command. The SPF officers introduced their respective policing work, including crime prevention and detection, the application of technology in policing, training, decision-making and log keeping. The delegation exchanged its experience in policing, application of technology and good practices with SPF officers. Furthermore, the delegation visited the INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation (IGCI) under the arrangement of Superintendent Lam Wing-ho, who is on secondment to the IGCI of INTERPOL, to understand the work scope of INTERPOL.
The two training opportunities not only broadened the officers’ horizons but also projected the professional image of the Force and enhanced mutual understanding of the two Police Forces. With stabilisation of the pandemic, HKPC will keep exploring more overseas training opportunities for our Force members to enhance their professional abilities.
