RECDIV held the seventh Recruitment Experience and Assessment Day (READ) under the theme “One Team, One Vision” on December 17, 2023. The event attracted 2 284 visits and 478 on-site applications. READ consisted of three thematic sessions, namely Selection Workshops for Probationary Inspector / Police Constable, Interactive Police Unit Display / Recruitment Talk / Sharing of Training Experience and Physical Fitness Test Workshops. Participants can submit application and undergo initial screening on the spot. Given the overwhelming response of the Physical Fitness Test Workshops in previous READ, extra sessions were arranged this time, with four workshops on December 16 and 17, 2023 respectively.
This was the first READ during which visitors could join the newly introduced Recruit Police Constable Barrack Tour. Participants could visit the trainees’ barrack to exchange with the trainees and course instructors in person. In addition, a physical challenge was set up in this READ. Three participants who excelled in the challenge won the special prizes.
