Nigeria Police Force Training Exercise

We would love to make it clear that the Police Force Training is different from the screening exercise. During the training, shortlisted persons are made to undergo drills which would be overseen by special officers in the Unit. Everyone who is shortlisted must undergo the training and those who eventually make it would be eligible to become an Officer.

Anyone who fails to participate in either the training or screening exercise cannot be given appointment letters by the Police so take note of that. Adherence to instructions during the training is also very compulsory.

Application Closing Date
