(being a police officer) is my original goal." , And some participants expressed their desire to join the police force due to social events in 2019.

More than 1,400 people signed up on the recruitment day, 60% were interested in applying for police officers

Superintendent Chen Chunqing of the Police Recruitment Group said that more than 1,400 people have been registered on this experience day. 60% of those who are interested in applying for the police officer's examination, and about 40% are interested in applying for the trainee inspector.

Recruitment numbers are not up to standard. Police admit that there are challenges: quantity is more important but quality is more important

The police force aims to recruit 1,545 people in 2021/22, with 1,350 police officers and 195 trainee inspectors, respectively.

However, Chen admitted that there are certain challenges in police recruitment. Up to today, a total of 141 trainee inspectors and 429 police officers have been recruited, which is still not up to date.

Chen said that it is necessary to find people who are suitable to join the police. "So our focus is not to catch up with the recruitment target... The quantity is important, but the quality is even more important."

The number of admissions is higher than the same period last year

He explained that in addition to the continuous decline in the 15-29 year old labor force market in the past few years, the attractiveness of young people to "government jobs" has also decreased: "It's not our police force that takes care of itself." However, plus what happened earlier. The "lone wolf-style" attack on the police and the death of a female marine police inspector may have discouraged the public from applying for police officers.

Our focus is not to catch up with the recruitment target. Quantity is important, but quality is even more important. Young people are less attractive to working in the government, and our police force cannot be left alone.

Superintendent Chen Chunqing, Police Recruitment Group

Chen Chunqing added that as of November this year, the number of successfully recruited trainee inspectors and police officers has increased by 20% and 7% respectively over the same period last year.
