Can mainlanders take the Hong Kong police exam?

Currently, mainlanders cannot apply for Hong Kong police positions. This is because the Hong Kong police are public officials belonging to the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and their recruitment and employment work is carried out in accordance with the relevant laws, regulations and policies of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In the civil service recruitment system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, applicants are usually required to be permanent residents of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or persons holding legal rights of residence, while mainland residents are currently not included. Therefore, mainlanders are temporarily unable to apply for Hong Kong police positions.
