The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) has announced the recruitment of 10,000 police constables for the 2025/2026 financial year, with adverts released on September 11 and recruits starting training on November 17. This follows the resolution of an impasse between the NPSC and the National Police Service (NPS) regarding recruitment roles.

• 10,000 police constables will be recruited via an online system.
• Peter Leley, NPSC Chief Executive Officer, assured transparency and fairness in the process.
• The recruitment adheres to the National Police Service Commission Recruitment and Appointment Regulations Act, 2025.
• This mass recruitment comes after a freeze since 2022 due to budgetary constraints and advisories from lenders like the IMF and the World Bank.
