PMP Awards Ceremony
The Police Mentorship Programme (PMP) 2023/24 Awards Ceremony was held at the Police Headquarters on March 31, with the attendance of over 100 mentors, mentees, university representatives, project officers and families of awardees. During the winter of 2023 and summer of last year, many students participated in internships in different units of the Force. Their projects covered a wide range of topics, including research, event planning and IT-related work.
The top ten winners this year were selected from the internship reports submitted by over 250 participants. The reports were first evaluated by representatives from mentors of respective chapters with their top three reports put forward, and a panel formed by the Human Resources Branch made the final selection. Mentees having submitted the top three reports were invited to give a presentation at the ceremony to compete for the Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards. The judging panel led by the Head Mentor cum Assistant Commissioner (Personnel) Chan Man-tak assessed the presentations and determined the top three positions on the spot. In addition, the new Chinese Impromptu Talk Competition was launched this year. It simulated the Extended Interview for probationary inspector candidates, upon which over 100 members of the audience voted on-site to pick their favorite impromptu speaker.
