‘Don’t Pay Anyone for Recruitment!”-Ghana Police Warn Applicants Against Recruitment Scams
The Ghana Police Service has assured applicants in its ongoing 2025/2026 recruitment exercise that those who have not yet been invited to the next stage are still being considered.
In a statement issued on Saturday, August 1, the Service said the recruitment exercise is progressing as planned, with successful applicants being invited in batches to centres across the country for the validation of their credentials.
According to the Police, the validation process is an important stage of the recruitment exercise. It is meant to verify the authenticity of applicants’ academic certificates, examination results and other supporting documents submitted during the application process.
The Service said the first batch of successful applicants has already been invited and is currently undergoing the validation exercise.
However, it clarified that applicants who passed the medical examination and were declared medically fit but have not yet received invitations for credential validation should not consider themselves unsuccessful.
The Police explained that such applicants are still part of the recruitment process and will be invited in future batches.
“The Ghana Police Service urges all such applicants to remain patient and be rest assured that the recruitment process will continue in batches until 2028 in line with the recruitment schedule,” the statement said.
The Service also warned applicants against believing false information circulating about the recruitment exercise.
It advised applicants to rely only on official communication from the Ghana Police Service.
The Police further cautioned applicants not to pay money to anyone claiming they can help them secure recruitment.
“We urge all applicants to disregard any misinformation on the recruitment exercise and also refrain from paying monies to any person or persons under the guise of facilitating their recruitment,” the statement added.
The Ghana Police Service reaffirmed its commitment to conducting a transparent, fair and merit-based recruitment process and encouraged applicants to remain patient as the exercise continues.
