Approximately 3,000 newly recruited officers of the Ghana Police Service have had their enlistment revoked.
These recruits are said to have fallen short of meeting the academic requirements to be enlisted into the Service.
The affected recruits include those under training at the National Police Training School (NPTS) in Accra and the Service’s training schools in Kumasi, Ho, Koforidua and Pwalugu in the Upper East Region.
A letter sighted by 3news.com and written to Commanding Officer of the Pwalugu Police Training School by COP Beatrice Vib-Sanziri, the Director-General in charge of Human Resources, said all the recruits who submitted only WASSCE certificates should be referred to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) “for further vetting”.
However, all those who submitted BECE, NVTI, NABPTEX and City and Guilds certificates are to return home. The number of affected recruits at Pwalugu is 835.
One did not have any certificate at all. A list of the dismissed recruits is expected to be submitted at the headquarters of the Service “for further action”.
The action is said to have been directed by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), David Asante Apeatu.

Glad such action has been taken by the new IGP to ensure there is sanity in the police administration.The rot must be cleaned out regardless of ones party affiliation for it is for a good cause for Ghana not for any political party sake.
This story shows how sad our police system is, with wrong officers in charge and colluding with some politicians to rock the boat of our development process. I think, the police officers who superintended over this massive fraud by recruiting unqualified people for the service should be sacked and prosecuted. They will still do same if they get the opportunity again. And, I pray that the new IGP will do the right thing to upgrade our police service and improve its effectiveness, efficiency and intergrity. Thank You.
Can some one help me with which stage had the recruits reached in their training. oh politics
Whoever is in charge should be careful with situations like this. How far have they been on Training? If weapon training is given already then we should reconsider the decision. There is a way to tackle this please.
Na who cause am? Who signed the appointment letters for them to start the training? I think the In-Charge HRD should be sack immediately like they did to the former HRD Patrick Timbillah.
Great move but pls dont also follow the same steps
N d c footsoldiers hahahaha
Wahala don come?
