Training Venues

Hong Kong Police College is equipped with various professional facilities and venues to provide training of excellent quality.



Through repeated foot drill trainings, officers would build up sense of consciousness, self-discipline and team spirit. The newly introduced Chinese-style foot drill will enchance the trainees’ national sentiment and patriotic feelings for the country, and showcases the demeanour of the Hong Kong Police Force.





The tactics training complex replicates real streets, residential buildings and training compartments for tactical training and use of force exercises, for example handling of suspicious person, serious cases or ad-hoc incidents etc.





Trainees are required to undergo professional firearm and weapon training in different indoor and outdoor ranges. Officers will continue to attend regular trainings and examinations after passing out from the college with a view to maintaining the professional standard.





Given the intensity involved in the Foundation Training, trainees are required to reside in the college throughout the training. Trainees will maintain the tidiness and cleanliness of the barrack amongst themselves.
