The Police Service Commission (PSC) has taken a decisive step in the recruitment process for the Police Constable cadre by fixing April 16, 2024, as the date for the crucial medical screening. This announcement, made by PSC spokesperson Ikechukwu Ani, underscores the commission’s commitment to conducting a comprehensive and inclusive recruitment exercise.
Significance of the Medical Screening Date:
The choice of April 16th aligns with the conclusion of both the Muslim Ramadan fast and the Christian Lenten period, ensuring that candidates of all religious backgrounds can participate without conflict with their religious obligations.
Inclusion of Police Specialists:
In addition to candidates for the Police Constable cadre, the medical screening process will also encompass specialist applicants who have previously undergone physical and credentials screenings. These specialists, though excluded from the JAMB-conducted computer-based tests, will now have the opportunity to undergo practical assessments and medical screenings.
Scope and Duration of the Screening Process:
The screening process is slated to last for two weeks, marking the final phase of the recruitment exercise. This comprehensive approach ensures that all eligible candidates undergo rigorous evaluations to determine their suitability for the role of Police Constable.

Regional Considerations and Special Arrangements:
The screening activities will take place across the 17 zonal command headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force, as well as in Kaduna, Yobe, and Zamfara States. These states have been accorded special considerations due to prevailing security challenges. Candidates from these states will conduct their screenings and practical tests in their respective states of origin. Additionally, police colleges located in states hosting the zonal command headquarters will provide venues for the exercises, ensuring accessibility for all candidates.
Communication and Guidance for Shortlisted Candidates:
The Police Recruitment Board will contact shortlisted candidates with detailed information regarding the timing and locations of their screenings. This proactive communication approach aims to streamline the process and provide candidates with clear instructions on their next steps.
Progression to Mandatory Training:
Successful candidates from the medical screening phase will proceed to Police Colleges for mandatory training. This training phase is crucial for equipping recruits with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their roles as Police Constables.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
- What documents do I need to bring for the medical screening?
Candidates are typically required to bring original copies of their identification documents, academic certificates, and any other relevant documentation specified by the recruitment authorities. - Will there be accommodations provided for candidates traveling from distant locations?
While accommodations are not typically provided, candidates are advised to make their own arrangements for lodging if necessary. However, specific guidance may be provided by the Police Recruitment Board closer to the screening dates. - What happens if I miss the medical screening date?
Missing the medical screening date may result in disqualification from the recruitment process. It is essential for candidates to adhere to the provided schedule and communicate any unavoidable circumstances to the recruitment authorities as soon as possible. - How long will it take to receive the results of the medical screening?
The timeframe for receiving the results may vary, but candidates can expect to be informed of their medical screening outcomes within a reasonable period following the conclusion of the screening process.
The PSC’s commitment to transparency, inclusivity, and efficiency in the recruitment process is evident through the careful planning and execution of the medical screening phase. As aspiring candidates prepare for this crucial evaluation, they can rest assured that the process is designed to identify the most qualified individuals to serve in the esteemed ranks of the Nigeria Police Force.
