In a statement on their social media pages issued on Saturday, July 16, 2022, NPS also termed the report as work of conmen.
“Our attention has been drawn to a fake document circulating on social media alleging postponement of reporting date for sports recruits to the National Police College,” NPS said in part of the statement.
“We wish to notify the public that this is the work of conmen out to defraud innocent and unsuspecting members of the public under the pretext of recruitment into the police service,” it added.
NPS which has constitutional powers of hiring police officers further advised members of the public to always do a due diligence on matters of alleged recruitments “by confirming with relevant NPS officials sources including NPS Website among others.”
“Inquiries may also be made at any police station or on our toll free numbers 999, 112, 911 and #FichuaKwaDCI 0800 722 703,” noted NPS.
Recruitment for discipline forces in the country have always been hit with bribery claims, with conmen and women taking advantage to defraud unsuspecting members of the public with an urge to join the security team.
