Chapter 21 Starting to be a Patrolman Today
There was no liquor store in the police academy. The three grown men bought three bottles of ordinary drinks in front of the vending machine, sat down on a random step, and started chatting about life.
Ali shook the can of coffee in his hand and said, "From today on, we are official police officers, and we don't know which police station we will be assigned to!"
"No matter which police station you go to, you should start as a uniformed police officer at the lowest level and patrol the streets for a year!" Qiu Junxuan sighed.
"We definitely have to patrol the streets. You come from a family of police officers, and your brother is a senior inspector from Ji. Maybe you will be able to take off your military uniform and be promoted to a plainclothes police officer soon," Ali said.
"My brother is busy with cases every day, and he has no time to care about my affairs. But my dead father may be able to help me. He had several subordinates back then, and now they have all been promoted to high-level officials. They should be able to speak well. "
Qiu Junxuan paused and then said, "But I still want to try to take the trainee inspector test."
"Yes, if you have a college degree, you can directly apply for a trainee inspector position. Unlike me, I have never gone to college and can only start as a police officer." He Jiahui said.
"Junxuan, if you can pass the trainee inspector exam next year, you will have to come back for another 36 weeks of training. When you go out, you will be a trainee inspector. By then, let alone us, even our instructors will have to call you 'sir' !" Ali said with a smile.
The Xiangjiang Police Force still relies heavily on academic qualifications. If you are a college graduate, you can directly apply for inspection. After passing the exam, you will be appointed as a trainee inspector after 36 weeks of training. After the probationary period, you can be promoted to inspector after passing the exam.
This path is much faster than being promoted from ordinary police officers to inspectors, so you can often see some young police officers wearing the police badge of inspectors, who must have a college diploma or above.
However, the passing rate for college students who directly take the trainee inspector examination is very low, only about 1.5%, which is even lower than the admission rate of civil servants in the mainland. In comparison, the passing rate for ordinary police officers is about 15%.
Because the pass rate was too low, another relatively easy promotion route emerged at this time, that is, college students first apply for ordinary police officers, and after becoming official police officers, they can then take the probationary inspector exam next year.
Compared with ordinary college students, having the identity of a police officer is definitely a bonus.
Although the pass rate is still a pitiful 1.5%, when selecting officers, the police force will definitely give priority to on-the-job police officers instead of ignorant cucumbers.
This is like some police academy graduates who are unable to pass the civil police exam, so they first take the auxiliary police exam, and then prepare for the civil police exam, because when it comes to the interview, the work experience of the auxiliary police officer is inferior to that of new recruits who have no work experience. An absolute advantage.
Qiu Junxuan obviously intends to take this road of becoming a police officer. He has a university diploma and comes from a police family. His father died in the line of duty and his brother is a senior inspector. Together with these factors, the chance of passing the trainee inspector exam is extremely high. Big.
He Jiahui then asked: "Li, you also went to university, right? And it was a university in the UK. Do you want to take the probationary inspector exam next year with Junxuan?"
But Yu Xueli shook his head: "I'm not interested in being an inspector. I plan to take the Flying Tigers exam in the future!"
"Flying Tigers? This is much more difficult than the probationary inspector exam. Only the best police officers have a chance to be admitted to the Flying Tigers." Qiu Junxuan said.
"Yes, I want to join the Flying Tigers just to prove that I am the best policeman!" Yu Xueli said confidently.
"This sentence really fits his character as a naive and reckless man!" He Jiahui thought to himself.
"What about you, Jiahui? What are your plans for the future? You know how to solve crimes and your marksmanship is so accurate. You will definitely join the crime squad in the future, right?" Qiu Junxuan asked.
"I don't have any lofty goals. I'll start as a uniformed police officer and take it one step at a time!" He Jiahui smiled slightly and continued;
"Without a college diploma, my career as a police sergeant will come to an end. So if I have the chance, I still plan to take a diploma. I will also have the opportunity to be promoted in the future. I will salute you and call you sir when I see you in the future."
!”
"Don't be so modest. Just because you solved two murder cases, the crime squads in each district will definitely be fighting for you. But when it comes to the crime squad, it's best to go to the West Kowloon crime squad." Qiu Junxuan said.
said.
"Why is the West Kowloon Crime Squad the best?" Ho Ka Fai asked.
"The West Kowloon Crime Unit has always been a gathering of elites. Among all districts in Hong Kong, the West Kowloon Crime Unit has solved the most major cases, and West Kowloon has the strongest crime-solving capabilities. Many famous gangsters have ended up in West Kowloon.
In the hands of the Crime Squad."
Qiu Junxuan paused and then introduced: "The West Kowloon Crime Squad has many serious cases and many solved cases. Do you know what this means? It means there are many opportunities to make meritorious deeds!
As long as you can stay in the West Kowloon Crime Unit, you will have plenty of opportunities to solve crimes. If you can solve a few major cases every year and make more contributions, then the possibility of promotion will be greater.
As far as I know, in recent years, several superintendent-level officers have had experience in the West Kowloon Crime Squad. Even at the inspector level, the West Kowloon Crime Squad has had many officers. If you go to West Kowloon
If it’s the case of the serious crime team, there’s a good chance of being promoted to inspector!”
…
At the West Kowloon Police Station, Senior Superintendent Cao Tat-wah sat among a pile of documents with a helpless expression.
"There are endless reports every day. It seems that I won't have any leisure time before retirement." Cao Dahua complained to himself.
There are many cases in West Kowloon, including many serious and important cases, so naturally there are many reports submitted from below. Senior Superintendent Cao Tat-wah is drowned in a sea of reports every day.
There was a knock on the door, and the assistant came in and handed over a stack of documents.
"Why are there so many again? I haven't finished reading the ones I have on hand!" Cao Dahua complained.
"Sir Cao, these are the information of the new police officers of our West Kowloon Police Station. This year, a total of twenty police officers will be assigned to our West Kowloon." The assistant explained.
"Okay, let's put it aside first." After Cao Dahua finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something. He raised his head and asked: "Is there someone here holding the Xue Fu Cup?"
"The one who took the Xue Fu Cup? I remember it was mentioned in the police file." The assistant immediately started searching and found He Jiahui's file.
"It's him, police officer 66622 He Jiahui, who won this year's Xue Fu Cup. His results are very good, and he won the first place in three subjects, namely foot drill, shooting and field practice." The assistant said, turning over the file.
Passed it to Cao Dahua.
Cao Dahua took the file, read it carefully, smiled and nodded: "Yes, he is the one I am looking for!"
"Sir, have you known this He Jiahui before?" the assistant asked.
"I don't know him, but I've heard of him!" Cao Dahua's smile looked a little lewd, like a voyeuristic uncle.
He continued: "Sir Peng from the police academy used to be my subordinate. A few days ago, Sir Peng called specifically and asked me to take good care of this He Jiahui!"
The assistant also felt that Cao Dahua's smile was a bit shabby. He turned his head slightly and did not continue to look directly at Cao Dahua, but asked;
"This is not the first time that our West Kowloon Police Station has accepted the winner of the Xue Fu Cup. Sir Peng from the Police Academy did not express any special concern. Is there anything special about this Ho Ka Fai?"
"This He Jiahui is different from the previous winner of the Xue Fu Cup. Do you still remember the murder that happened in the police academy when 'Brother 1' went to inspect it?" Cao Dahua asked.
"I have the impression that it was a case of the Regional Crime Team. I heard that the case was solved on the same day. Brother No. 1 even praised the Regional Crime Team for its efficiency in solving the case!" the assistant replied.
"The one who really solved the case was not the regional crime squad, but He Jiahui!" Cao Dahua continued; "Sir Peng from the police academy told me that the real murderer wanted to blame He Jiahui, but He Jiahui used reasoning to expose the murderer on the spot."
"So powerful? A student police officer can solve the case!" the assistant said incredulously.
"And more than one case has been solved. There was a murder case in Saigon not long ago. In order to inherit his father-in-law's property, the son-in-law pushed his father-in-law off a cliff and then pretended to have slipped and fell. It was also solved by He Jiahui."
Cao Dahua continued to explain: "According to Sir Peng's description, this Ho Jiahui's insight, analysis and reasoning abilities are first-rate, not inferior to the senior police officers of the serious crime team."
"I remember that Ho Ka-fai also ranked first in shooting, right? He can solve crimes and his marksmanship is accurate. Isn't he born to be a major crime team? It is definitely right for him to join our West Kowloon Police Station. You have a serious crime team
The Tiger of the Group is in charge, and the West Kowloon Crime Squad is the best platform for him to grow!"
The assistant showed a proud expression, and then asked: "Sir Peng called you and asked you to take care of He Jiahui. Do you want him to skip the uniformed police and directly join the serious crime team?"
"On the contrary, Sir Peng hopes that I can temper He Jiahui more and polish off his arrogance first." Cao Dahua answered.
The assistant was a little confused, but Cao Dahua went on to explain: "He Jiahui is too good, his ability is much higher than other police officers, it is said that even the 'first brother' is impressed by him.
But the more this happens, the easier it is to have problems! The police is actually a very dangerous profession. You must be cautious when working. You must not be arrogant and complacent just because you have outstanding abilities. We need to protect ourselves first before we can protect others.
The police force is also a disciplinary force and needs to obey the orders of its superiors at all times. There are many excellent police officers who have handled many important cases, but they just can't be promoted. Why? It's because their obedience is too poor.
You must know my old partner, Sir Zhou Xingzhou, right? He is also a legend in the police force. He has solved many major cases over the years! We were undercovers together back then, but I am now a senior superintendent.
, and he is also a chief inspector.
In terms of ability, there are few people in the entire police force who are better than Sir Zhou. With his ability, he can be promoted to Assistant Commissioner of Police now, but why is he still a Chief Inspector? Isn’t it because he is too arrogant?
Do you want to do your own thing and refuse to obey orders?
Ho Jiahui is also a person with outstanding abilities. Such a good talent must be carefully cultivated and cannot be wasted. If he becomes the second Zhou Xingxing, it will definitely be a heavy loss to the police force.
The raw jade needs to be polished well. Even if it is Sun Houhou, he must first be put under a tight spell before he can be used for anything. So we must first find a way to smooth out He Jiahui's sharpness, and wait until his mentality becomes calmer.
Then transfer him to the crime squad."
"Sir Cao, what do you mean, don't give He Jiahui special preferential treatment and let him start as a uniformed patrol officer?" the assistant asked.
"An ordinary uniformed patrol officer is not enough. It is best to go to a leisurely area where there are not many things going on, and then find an old patrol officer who is about to retire to take care of him. This way he is less likely to get into trouble and can also help him cultivate his character!" Cao Dahua laughed!
He said.
…
Sham Shui Po Police Station.
Early in the morning, all patrol officers gathered in the conference room, waiting for their superiors to assign tasks.
After a while, police sergeant Huang Sir, wearing a white shirt, walked in, followed by a young police officer.
The rank of police sergeant is lower than that of a trainee inspector and higher than that of a sergeant. It is the highest rank among officers and junior officers. For the Hong Kong police, if one does not have a bachelor's degree, then the police sergeant is basically the highest police rank one can obtain in a police career.
However, the police sergeant is the backbone of the police force. Many operations are directly commanded by the police sergeant. When there is no inspector, the police sergeant will also be responsible for the inspection business.
In actual operations, the police sergeant will even command ordinary inspectors, because the police sergeant is promoted step by step from the grassroots police officers and has very rich work experience.
As inspectors, college students take direct examinations to enter the police force. The qualifications and experience of young inspectors are far inferior to those of the police chief. Of course, they must obey the command of the police chief.
For example, the daily routine assignments of uniformed patrol officers are usually arranged by the police sergeant. Even if there are inspectors present, they usually only observe and supplement.
Police Sergeant Sir Huang is a veteran police sergeant who is over 40 years old. He is nicknamed "Butter Crab" because he is very slippery, well-rounded and has a typical good-natured character, so he got this nickname.
I saw Sir Huang sitting down in his seat and saying with a smile: "Let me introduce a new colleague first, Police Officer 66622 He Jiahui. He Jiahui just graduated from the police academy. He is the best graduate this year and won this year's Silver Flute."
Award and Xue Fu Cup!"
He Jiahui quickly stepped forward, saluted everyone, and said: "Hello everyone, my name is He Jiahui. Please take good care of me in the future."
The uniformed police officers below also began to discuss in a low voice:
"This year's Xue Fu Cup winner has a bright future!"
"She looks very young. The police force will definitely focus on training her."
"I guess it won't be long before I'm transferred to another department."
"Of course. He is the first in the police academy. Wouldn't it be a waste to patrol the streets with us? He should at least go to the PTU to excite the troops."
Everyone was muttering below, while Butter Crab on the stage continued: "It's He Jiahui's first day patrolling the streets. We need to find an experienced police officer to familiarize him with the work process."
Butter Crab said, his eyes swept across the crowd, and finally landed on one of the elderly police officers.
Chapter completed!
