Requirements For Applicants:
Nationality Of Applicant
For a person to be eligible for recruitment, he should be a citizen of Ghana and without any previous convictions of offenses involving moral turpitude, dishonesty or fraud or who has not been dismissed from any public service or employment. In other words, the applicant must not have any criminal records.
Personal Data Requirement
Basic information required of a prospective applicant includes some personal details such as name, date and place of birth, home town, name and addresses of parents, if previously employed, the name and address of employer and reasons for leaving the employment, previous convictions and any other information that would be required by the Police Administration. For general enlistment exercises, the minimum age is 18 years and maximum is 35.
Physical Body Requirement
The applicant must be physically fit by police standards. The heights of applicants are also important with height limit of 5 feet 8 inches for males and 5 feet 4 inches for females.
Academic Qualifications
He/She must be a graduate of the Senior High School with impressive grades – usually four credits, including English Language and a pass or better in Mathematics. However, it must be noted that these requirements could be revised from time to time.
Interested persons who satisfy these basic requirements and possess the requisite qualifications prescribed in the job opportunity created could apply by purchasing a police recruitment form either from accredited post offices across the country or any other place as may be specified in the announcement.
After a successful completion of the form, the publication will also indicate designated points where such a form could be submitted. Applications are then processed, short-listed and the deserving ones are contacted at a later date.
Continued from last week
Applicants who satisfy all requirements are formally contacted trough a letter informing them of further arrangements and procedures. Usually, qualified applicants are made to report at the various police training schools where successful applicants undergo physical body selection, height checks and relevant documents carefully scrutinized and verified by a competent Police Enlistment Team.
Written Examination
Successful completion of the above stage qualifies applicants to participate in a written examination. Candidates are examined in English Language, Mathematics and General Knowledge. This is carried out in a transparent, free and fair manner where the answers are marked and results declared on the same day.
Ordinarily, candidates who pass the examination should be breathing a sigh of relief since they may be half-way through the recruitment exercise. Qualified applicants are nominally and positively vetted at the Headquarters of the Criminal Data Services Bureau (CDSB) of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID). The former takes fingerprints of applicants to ascertain the authenticity or otherwise of their criminal records as provided on the enlistment forms. The latter may involve but not limited to painstaking investigations into the background of the applicant.
At this point, prospective recruits are required to undergo a thorough medical screening exercise at the Police Hospital, to be declared medically fit by medical experts.
Training
Recruits are now set for training in any of the training schools across the country. These schools have been tasked with the responsibility of training recruits into becoming full fledged police personnel for the Service. Recruits then go through an intensive prescribed minimum training period of six months. Whilst on training, it must be noted that those who exhibit unprofessional conducts could be dismissed without looking back.
Appointments
A recruit qualifies for appointment to an established post in the Service on satisfactory completion of the specified training programme. Here, a letter of appointment is addressed to the person appointed; and a recruit constable on his first appointment is supposed to serve a probationary period of 18 months after which he/she may be confirmed in his post – subject to a report of satisfactory work and conduct given by his/her head of Department or Unit under whom the personnel serves. In the same way, appointment could also be terminated in the case of unsatisfactory probationary service of personnel.
Graduate Entrants
The Police Administration does recruit graduates with varying academic disciplines from accredited universities and colleges. Some of these academic areas may include Psychology, Sociology, Administration, Human Resource Management, Accounting, Finance and many more, depending on the vacancies available and the special needs of the Service. These categories of people are attracted through the placement of advertisements in the media.
All the criteria required for general recruitment mentioned earlier may still persist, apart from some few exemptions. Graduate applicants should not exceed 30 years of age. Again, the heights required in this instance may not necessarily be a prerequisite for selection, since they are to occupy supervisory and managerial positions in the Police Service. After a careful processing of certificates and documents, aptitude test and interviews are conducted for-shortlisted applicants.
Appointment letters are issued to successful applicants together with specified schemes of service. The employed graduates undergo medical screening, nominal and positive vetting as is required in the general recruitment.
Training For Graduate Entrants
They may not necessarily go through the basic prescribed training of six months as the general recruits, but they also undertake a three-month training programme, all targeted at resourcing them with fundamentals of law enforcement and practical knowledge in policing.
