Abuja, April 2, 2025 – The Police Service Commission (PSC) and Nigeria Police Force (NPF) have announced that training for new constables will start on April 12, 2025. This follows a medical screening that took place from February 26 to March 12 this year. The announcement gives successful candidates a clear timeline to get ready for the next step in their journey to join the police force.
The training kicks off on April 12 and includes a documentation period that lasts until April 19. Candidates need to visit the recruitment website, apply.policerecruitment.gov.ng, to check their status. The site opened for this on March 31, allowing people to print their call-up slips. This slip is very important because it tells each candidate the exact date and time they must report to a police training school.
When they arrive, candidates must wear a clean white T-shirt and shorts. This simple outfit makes things easier during the first days of training. They also need to bring several documents. These include their call-up slip, the application form they filled out earlier, their National Identification Number (NIN) slip, their Bank Verification Number (BVN) slip, and both original and copied versions of their certificates. The PSC warns that anyone who doesn’t show up on time will be seen as turning down the offer. This rule shows how serious they are about keeping the process on track.
The PSC and NPF have been working together to make this recruitment smooth and fair. The medical screening earlier this year was one part of a bigger plan to find the right people for the job. Now, with training set to begin, the focus is on preparing these new constables to serve Nigeria. The police force needs well-trained officers to keep communities safe, and this step moves that goal forward.
For those who passed the screening, this is an exciting moment. They’ve made it through tough checks and are close to starting their careers. But they must follow the rules closely. The recruitment website has all the details they need, so candidates should check it often. Missing a step could mean missing out.
This training is part of the 2025 recruitment effort, which aims to bring fresh faces into the NPF. With crime and safety always on people’s minds, having more trained officers matters a lot. The PSC and NPF are making sure the process is clear and open. By setting April 12 as the start date, they’re giving candidates enough time to prepare while keeping things moving.
Anyone with questions should look at the official website or contact the PSC. This training could be the start of a big change for Nigeria’s police force. The nation will be watching as these new constables take their first steps.
