[Look at China News, August 2, 2023]HongkongWhile the cost of the police force increases year by year, entry requirements are getting lower and lower. After relaxing restrictions on age, height, and vision earlier, the Correctional Services Department also announced on August 1 that starting from the 16th of next month, the entry physical fitness test requirements for correctional officers and second-level correctional assistants will also be lowered. Some netizens sarcastically said: If you get up low and feel dizzy, you can invite me right away? (If you squat down and stand up without getting dizzy, please invite me right away?)

The authorities also explained that reducing thestandardAfter entrusting sports medicine experts to review the physical fitness test items and standards that have been used for nearly 20 years, the physical fitness test requirements that are more in line with the daily work needs of correctional officers are re-established.

In addition to relaxing the physical fitness requirements, even the interview and selection time was shortened from the previous 2 days to one day to speed up the selection process.

Correctional Services DepartmentIt also stated that it will continue to strengthen publicity and organize different types of recruitment activities to attract more people to join the correctional work.

Some commentators said that it seems that the Correctional Services Department is really short of manpower. However, what are you doing with so many things? Just declare that you can join the job with a security card!

The comment joked that the most important thing is of course to say this sentence: “Sir, don’t make friends.” (Sir, don’t quarrel.) As a senior official said, in order to achieve goals, extraordinary means must be used in extraordinary times.

The comment also said with a smile that it is recommended to lower the requirements for interviews and switch to zoom interviews to save time and effort. This will at least help taxpayers save some public money, right?
