The Police Service Commission has shortlisted 37,062 candidates for examination in the ongoing police recruitment out of a total of 133,324 applicants who were earlier screened.

The examination, which would be conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, is scheduled for May 25, 2018, at Computer-Based Test centres in the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

A statement in Abuja on Monday by the PSC spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, said 6,000 candidates would be recruited at the end of the exercise, noting that candidates for the examination had earlier been contacted through text messages and emails.

“Candidates who have yet to receive any invitation are required to check at the State Police Command Headquarters for the date, venue and time for the examination or the Police Service Commission portal, www.psc.org.ng.

“Candidates are required to come with their biometric and data capturing slip to the examination centre,” Ani explained.

He stated that candidates would not be allowed into the examination hall with electronic devices such as spy eyeglasses, handsets, calculators, wristwatches and camera.
