Police College to launch applied degree programme, force expects it to help attract more recruits

The Police College will launch an applied degree programme, making it the first department in the HKSAR Government approved to offer a bachelor's degree programme. It targets officer-rank police officers who do not hold a bachelor's degree, and successful applicants will receive full funding to study. The force believes the programme can enhance the quality of personnel and help attract more people to apply to join the police; the force also plans to establish the Hong Kong International Police Academy next month, hoping to tell Hong Kong's and China's stories through training and exchanges.
