Dear Sir/Madam,
I refer to your application for access to information dated
2026-10-06.
2. Regarding the requested information for the Police Force
University Recruitment Programmes as listed in items 1 to 3 of your email,
the Force does not maintain such records (see note).
[Note: According to paragraph 1.14 under Part 1 of the Code, it does not
oblige department to create a record which does not exist.]
3. Nevertheless, the total no. of PI applicants attended each
selection stage in FY 2025/26 is detailed below for your reference.
Selection Stage Attendance Rate#
(FY 2025/26)
(a) Written Examination 35%
(b) Extended Interview 25%
(c) Final Interview Board 6%
(d) Physical Fitness Test 10%
#Remarks: The above figures are percentages of the total number of
applications, i.e. around 6,000 applications, received in FY 2025/26.
These figures are based on the actual number of applicants who attended
each selection stage, namely (a)-(d), during that financial year, and may
therefore include applicants from other financial years.
