The Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Olohundare Jimoh, has urged officials overseeing the ongoing police recruitment exercise to maintain integrity, fairness and transparency in the screening process.
Jimoh gave the charge on Monday while receiving the team responsible for the credentials and physical screening of successful applicants from the state at the headquarters of the Lagos State Police Command in Ikeja.
The team, comprising officers from the Nigeria Police Force and personnel of the Police Service Commission (PSC), is supervising the screening exercise for the ongoing recruitment of 50,000 police constables nationwide.
Addressing the officials, the police commissioner stressed the need for strict adherence to the guidelines and standards governing the recruitment process to preserve the credibility of both the police and the PSC.
The screening team assured the commissioner of its commitment to due process, noting that only qualified and suitable applicants would be selected.
The police delegation is led by Adebisi Balogun, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, while the PSC team is headed by Eleyinmi Akinola, Chief Administrative Officer.
Officials from the Federal Character Commission and the Police Community Relations Committee are also participating in the exercise to ensure transparency and fairness.
The command reiterated that the screening exercise is completely free of charge and warned applicants and members of the public to beware of fraudsters who may attempt to solicit money or promise to influence the process.
Applicants were advised to adhere strictly to their scheduled screening dates and present all required documents, including their invitation slip, credential screening form, National Identity Number printout, O’Level certificate, birth certificate or declaration of age, and certificate of origin.
The command also directed applicants to log in to the official recruitment portal to check their status and print the necessary documents required for the screening exercise.
