The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and the Police Service Commission (PSC) have commenced physical and credential screening for applicants in the ongoing recruitment of 50,000 police constables across the country.
The screening exercise is part of the next stage of the nationwide recruitment process aimed at strengthening the manpower capacity of the Nigeria Police Force.
In Bauchi State, the Commissioner of Police, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, announced that applicants who successfully completed the online registration are required to report for physical and credential screening at the Police Training School (PTS), Bauchi.
