The Police Service Commission (PSC), in collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), has scheduled April 28 to 30, 2026, for the written examination for applicants seeking enlistment as Police Constables in both General Duty and Specialist cadres.
The examination will be conducted at designated centres across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
According to the commission, only candidates who successfully passed the physical and credentials screening are eligible to participate. Qualified applicants are required to log on to the recruitment portal from Friday, April 24, 2026, to print their Examination Invitation Card, which contains details of their examination date, time, and venue.
Candidates are expected to come to their respective examination centres with the following items: a pen, their National Identification Number (NIN) slip issued by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) bearing a clear photograph, and a printed copy of their Examination Invitation Card.
The approved dress code for the exercise is white shorts, a white T-shirt, and white canvas shoes.
The PSC reiterated that the recruitment process is entirely free of charge and warned applicants to be wary of job racketeers, scammers, or any form of financial inducement. It stressed that anyone found engaging in such illegal activities would be prosecuted in accordance with the law.
The statement was signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Anthony Okon Placid, at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, on April 24, 2026.
