香港警方透露，他们将开设一所学院，为海外警员提供专业课程，并公布了该警队学士学位课程的新细节，课程预计将于明年三月开始。
Hong Kong’s police have revealed they will launch an academy offering specialised courses for overseas officers and shared new details about the force’s bachelor’s degree programme, with classes expected to start next March.
警察学院院长程丽琪（Kelly Cheng Lai-ki）表示，成立香港国际警察学院，将把警队内部传承数代的前线经验整合成一个国际交流中心。
Kelly Cheng Lai-ki, director of the Police College, said establishing the Hong Kong International Academy of Policing would consolidate generations of frontline wisdom handed down within the force into an international exchange hub.
程丽琪说：“这些交流可以向世界展示我们的优势，同时我们也能通过这个平台学习他人的最佳实践，促进相互学习。”
“These exchanges can showcase our strengths to the world and we can also learn others’ best practices from this platform, fostering mutual learning,” Cheng said.
该学院预计将于11月11日成立，并与位于黄竹坑的警察学院共享校舍。警察学院负责培训新警员，并为警员提供持续教育。将有五名警员被调派负责该学院的课程安排。
The academy is expected to be established on November 11 and will share premises with the Police College in Wong Chuk Hang, which trains recruits and offers continuous education to officers. Five officers will be redeployed to handle its programmes.
程丽琪补充说，新成立的学院将有助于警队加强与海外同行的联系，进一步巩固其作为全球安全领域“超级连接器”的角色。她表示：“这将提升警队的效率，并加强与各国的培训合作。”
Cheng added that the new academy could help the force fortify its ties with overseas counterparts, bolstering its role as a “superconnector” for global security. “This can increase the force’s efficacy and boost training cooperation with various countries,” she said.
该学院预计将开设约20门课程，涵盖战术领导力、反恐及爆炸物处理等多种技能，还将组织国际警察领导力论坛。
The academy is expected to offer about 20 courses covering a variety of skills, from tactical leadership to counterterrorism and explosive ordnance handling, as well as organise an international policing leadership forum.
此外，警察学院还将获得资格，为部分初级警员授予安全与刑事调查领域的学士学位。
Separately, the Police College will also be accredited to award bachelor’s degrees in security and criminal investigation to selected junior officers.
学生将于今年年底选定，课程将于明年三月开始，首批学生预计于2029年毕业。
Students will be chosen at the end of this year and classes will begin in March next year, with the first batch of students due to graduate in 2029.
学院下属专业学习学校的高级警司张慧妍（Cheung Hoi-yan）表示，该学士学位课程将完全由政府资助，是一项结合理论与实践的应用型教育项目。
Senior Superintendent Cheung Hoi-yan, director of the School of Specialised Learning under the college, said the bachelor’s degree would be fully funded by the government and would be an applied education programme combining theory and practice.
被选中入学的在任警员将继续履行日常职责，但需要完成额外的语言课程，在指定警察单位进行实习，并在获得清华大学或剑桥大学学位的警司级警员监督下完成最终项目。
Serving officers chosen to enrol would continue with their daily duties but would need to complete additional language courses, undertake a practicum at designated police units and finish a final project under the supervision of superintendent-level officers who had obtained degrees at Tsinghua University or the University of Cambridge.
张表示：“完成该计划后，警员将获得香港警察学院的学士学位，并可继续申请其他地方的硕士课程。”
“After completing the programme, officers will be awarded a bachelor’s degree from the Hong Kong Police College and can move on to apply for master’s programmes elsewhere,” Cheung said.
学院院长程表示，该学士学位课程已在教育局的资历架构中获评为第5级。第5级资历使该课程与市内大学的学士学位课程处于同等水平。据程称，自去年以来招募的警员中，有40%没有学士学位。
College director Cheng said the bachelor’s degree programme had already been accredited at Level 5 under the Education Bureau’s qualifications framework. A Level 5 qualification puts the programme on par with a bachelor’s degree programme at universities in the city. According to Cheng, 40 per cent of constables recruited since last year did not have a bachelor’s degree.
程表示：“一旦我们警员个人素质得到提升，这无疑将有助于提高他们的服务品质，并为他们提供职业发展机会。”
“Once our officers’ personal qualities have been raised, this will definitely benefit their service quality and will provide career progression opportunities,” Cheng said.
该学位课程面向2022年或之后完成基本警察培训的近期入职者，其中80个名额留给具有中学学历的初级警员，40个名额则留给持有高级文凭或副学位的警员。
With 80 spots reserved for junior police officers with secondary education qualifications and 40 for those equipped with a higher diploma or associate degree, the degree programme targets recent joiners who have completed basic police training since 2022 or later.
