The Ghana Police Service in the Ashanti Region has cautioned unqualified applicants to refrain from reporting to screening centers as the ongoing police recruitment exercise gets underway.
The screening process commenced on Monday at the Police Training School at Patasi for applicants with medical qualifications, as well as degree and HND holders and skilled workers.
Ashanti Regional Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Godwin Ahianyo, disclosed that about 2,000 applicants have been screened so far. He explained that the first phase of the exercise will end on Wednesday, after which screening will continue for WASSCE holders.
Speaking in an interview, DSP Ahianyo said adequate measures have been put in place to prevent overcrowding at the various screening centers.
“From Thursday, screening will be conducted at four additional centers: WESCO, Kumasi Sports Stadium, Kumasi Jubilee Park, and Chirapatre Bus Terminal for WASSCE applicants,” he said.
He described the first day of the exercise as smooth and well-organized, attributing the success to the segmentation of applicants into groups.
DSP Ahianyo reiterated the caution for unqualified applicants to stay away from the process and urged qualified candidates to strictly adhere to their scheduled dates and assigned centers to avoid congestion.
Some applicants who spoke in an interview praised the police, describing the screening process as one of the most organized and efficient recruitment exercises they have experienced.
