The current promotion system runs like this: Graduates of the CPU become patrolmen with the rank of two stripes and one star (2 / 1). Graduates of police vocational colleges, on the other hand, can become ordinary officers, with a rank of one stripe and three stars (l / 3).
依據目前警察升遷制度，警大學生畢業後，即是二線一星的巡官，即是一般俗稱的「二毛一」，而警察專科學校的畢業生，可任一線三星的警隊員。
