Having established a referral system in July this year, Project TORCH of Mong Kok District (MKDIST) collaborated with the Recruitment Division (RECDIV) of Personnel Wing (P Wing) to organise the Police Recruitment Workshop for the first time on September 27. The workshop attracted participation of 110 Project TORCH members, including those who newly joined the Project through the referral system.

District Commander of MKDIST Ng Chi-chung and Senior Superintendent of Human Resources Branch of P Wing Ho Siu-kai attended the workshop, in which Chief Inspector of RECDIV Ng Cheuk-fung was the keynote speaker. As the Director of Extended Interview in the Probationary Inspector Selection Board, Ng Cheuk-fung explained the competencies and qualities that an inspector should possess, as well as his observation on candidates’ performance and the selection criteria. He also taught the participants how to equip themselves for the training. Regarding the adjustments to the entry requirements, RECDIV also sent an officer to the physical training class held by Project TORCH to get the trainees well prepared for the physical fitness test.

Since its launch in 2017, MKDIST’s Project TORCH has provided various kinds of training for people who aspire to join the Force. Up to August this year, a total of 65 inspectors and 81 police constables have joined the Force through the Project.
