Five Project SEED members passed out from Police College (the College) on April 27 and they are serving the community on the frontline. They thanked Project SEED of Kowloon City District (KCDIST) for providing them with the training that has helped them overcome the challenges in joining the Force.
“I thank KCDIST for having provided me a nine-month thematic training on personal effectiveness and physical build-up that enabled me to overcome the recruitment challenges,” shared Police Constable (PC) Wong Cheng-yin. “KCDIST provided thematic training to students of Diploma Yi Jin last year. I joined the project and underwent training. Initially, I was unable to do press-up. With the progress from the training, I seized the fifth position in the squad during the final physical test of the College,” said PC Luk Ying-ying. PC Cheung Chun-hei was glad to have made some good friends with the same goal from the project. For PC Ko Lai-ping, the project enlightened her life and she would do her best to serve the community.
Lecturer of Hong Kong Institute of Technology Mr Yu Chi-lung thanked the Force for their support in Diploma Yi Jin. He pointed out that some of the members were Mainland immigrants keen to join the Force. While they were facing great difficulties in adapting to the life in Hong Kong, Project SEED could help them cope with the environment and join the Force.
KCDIST has launched Project SEED since 2022, with the objective of sharing the recruitment responsibility of the Force, enhancing youngsters’ understanding of police work and encouraging them to join the Force upon graduation. So far, 18 members have successfully joined the Force, with five of them having passed out from the College and the remaining 13 still under Recruited PC foundation training.
