POLICE Constable Leung Kwok-chiu of Tsim Sha Tsui Division said he was surprised when notified that he had scored the highest marks in the 1998 Police Constable to Sergeant Promotion Qualifying Examination. "It is not easy to be fully prepared for the written exam because the syllabus is very long and includes Headquarters Orders, the Procedures Manual and ordinances," said the PC who started preparing one year before the exam by attending courses offered by the Regional Continuation Training Section and sitting the mock test organised by the Police Training School. |

In addition PC Leung spent time studying past exam questions and discussing the technique of attempting the exam with his colleagues ¡Ð which proved to be a confidence builder. He advises all those who will take the exam to start preparing as early as possible and that particular attention should be paid to the responsibility and authority of police. "Using common sense and logical reasoning are very important," PC Leung explained. "Because the exam is conducted in a multiple choice format, there is no need to memorise answers. Rather, it is more practical to understand what is being asked before picking an answer. For example, if the question asks about the legal definition of abortion, even if you are not familiar with the specific law, if you've done your homework it shouldn't be difficult to choose the best answer provided." Good advice from the best. | |

Said DSIP Jones: "The forum was a valuable insight and allowed for the exchange of ideas on crime prevention. It was obvious that Hong Kong and the Force hold considerable interest and are viewed very positively by our American colleagues." |
