The Police Service Commission has deployed no fewer than 380 staff to monitor the tests for applicants for police constable cadre holding nationwide on Friday and Saturday.

About 10,000 constables will be recruited during the exercise.

The PSC promised to ensure the integrity of the aptitude tests for the candidates, noting that any staff or police officer found compromising the exercise would be sanctioned.

Addressing the commission staff during a one-day orientation programme in Abuja, on Wednesday, the Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the commission, Mr William Alo enjoined them to conduct themselves with dignity and respect for the rules guiding the exams.

According to a statement by the Head, Press and Public Relations, PSC, Ikechukwu Ani, titled, ‘We must ensure the integrity of recruitment exercise -PSC,’ Alo said he was happy with the cordial relations between the PSC and the Nigeria Police Force and directed that the staff should work in synergy with the police personnel at the exam centres.

According to him, their conduct would “speak good or bad of the commission and we will sanction any staff who deliberately brings the commission to ridicule.”

He added that the commission would ensure the success of the exercise.

The statement read, “The commission has deployed its staff to various examination centres in the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory for the tests with a directive to ensure that the integrity of the exercise is sustained.

“The commission has advised that cases of infraction or outright sabotage of the exercise should be reported through its dedicated official telephone lines 07080601377 or 07080601376 for immediate action,” it said.
