Acting Director of Personnel and Training Ng Tsui Fung-ying and officers from Human Resources Branch shared their work experiences with potential applicants in four seminars in order to give them a better picture of the diverse nature  of police work. 

 

Sharing her satisfaction of serving society as a professional police officer, Mrs Ng said that as police officers are valuable asset of the Force, there is a well-established career path providing various development opportunities for Force members. She encouraged applicants to seize the opportunities and choose police work as a lifelong career.
