Police recruits to begin training on Saturday

Successful candidates from the 2022 police recruitment exercise are set to commence their training in various police colleges across the country on Saturday, August 10, 2024. The training period will run from August 10 to August 20.

Ikechukwu Ani, head of press and public relations, Police Service Commission (PSC), confirmed that only candidates who have verified their status on the official Police Recruitment Portal (https://apply.policerecruitment.gov.ng) are expected to report for training.

The management of the police colleges has received the list of these candidates and will only admit those whose names appear on it.

The PSC clarified that the initial recruitment portal, www.policeservicecommission.cloud, has been decommissioned. This decision followed a thorough meeting with police management, where it was agreed that the original portal used from the beginning of the recruitment process should be maintained to ensure fairness, justice, and inclusivity.
