Scam / Fraud : Ghana Police Service Recruitment Scam 2020

Ghana Police Service Recruitment Scam 2020

The Police Administration has cited fake advertisements of ongoing enlistment or recruitment into the Ghana Police Service and wishes to state that the Police Service is not advertising recruitment nor undertaking fresh recruitment processes.

Police recruitment exercises are first published in the major dailies at least the Daily Graphic and Ghanaian Times newspapers prior to the start of recruitment processes

Presently, Police Recmits who started tmining in February this year at the various Police training schools at Accra; Koforidua: Ho: Kumasi and Pwalugu are in training undergoing the scheduled training exercises.

Contrary to speculations by some persons that Police is in breach of the law, the ongoing training of Police Recruits is in accordance with law. Regulation 4 of the extended Imposition of Restrictions (Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Pandemic) Instrument. 2020 [E.I. 64] exempts "Security Services" including the Ghana Police Service from restrictions under the regulations.

The Police Administration has however put in place sufficient measures to ensure social distancing maintained between and among remits. These are in addition to enhanced hygiene procedures directed by the President of Ghana, H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo. Adequate measures have also been put in place to sufficiently manage any issues of COVID-I9 that may arise at any of the Police training facilities.

To verify if the Police Service is recruiting or not. one can call the Police Toll Free number 18555 or the National Unified Code 112. In addition. the public is encouraged to report any person(s) who make false claim of recruitment to the nearest Police Station for arrest and prosecution.

The Police Administration further assures parents, guardians and general public the health and safety  of Police recruits and officers amid COVID-19 remains paramount
