The exercise will commence ahead of a recruitment drive targeting 300 cadet officers from specialized professions like law, ballistics, education and forensic science, who will also undergo training for nine months.
Further, the police service will later in the month recruit 4,700 police officers at the constituency level across the country.
The exercise will be carried out countrywide and will commence on Monday, February 22.
The recruited officers will be deployed to the Administration Police Service and the General Service Unit.
Applicants must present themselves at the recruitment centres with the duly completed form indicating the service of preference on the day of the recruitment exercise.
“Applicants recruited for the training into the service shall be bonded to serve in the National Police Service for a minimum period of 10 years,” the Inspector General said in an advertisement published on local dailies this week.
