The Force started organising the Duke of Edinburgh's Award (predecessor of the HKAYP) activities at the former Police Cadet School in 1973. Established in 1979, the POA is one of the 18 operating authorities of the HKAYP. Police Public Relations Branch took over the programme in 2006 to coordinate relevant activities and hold the Bronze Award Presentation Ceremony annually to commend the awardees' endeavours and present certificates.
