According to the MOU, the two Forces will share e-Learning content, development experience and expertise and explore the possibility of joint development of e-Learning content and system.

"This is a milestone in cementing a closer collaboration between the two Police Forces and also underlines our commitment to develop and share our e-Learning experiences and initiatives," said Commissioner Mr Tsang Yam-pui after signing the MOU with the Commissioner of Singapore Police Force (SPF) Khoo Boon-hui at the Hong Kong Police Headquarters.

The two Police Forces recognise the importance of using e-Learning technology to enhance communication and the immense potential of e-Learning in enhancing the organisational effectiveness. They have embraced e-Learning to support lifelong learning.

In the years to come, HKP and SPF will develop more collaboration through e-Learning to further the excellent working relationship between both Forces. According to the MOU, the two Forces will share their e-Learning packages, experiences and best practices. They will also explore the possibility of joint development of a common e-Learning standard to facilitate the sharing and collaboration of e-Learning contents using video conferencing and virtual classroom.

The HKP has actively promoted the use of e-Learning and has developed a total of 21 e-Learning packages. These packages are delivered either at the Police Training School, Detective Training School or delivered through the HKP Intranet system.

The work of HKP has been used as a benchmark by many government agencies as well as many companies in the private sector. The HKP has won the 'Most e-Learn Department Award' in a competition held by the Hong Kong Government.

In the coming two years, the HKP will develop 13 more e-Learning packages to further promote e-Learning in the Force. The HKP will also seek to collaborate with other government departments and tertiary institutes to develop e-Learning.
