Recruits

They are part of 509 young people selected to undergo police recruit and cadets training programs from the 13,039 shortlisted applicants for the 2023 recruitment exercise.

The 222 new recruits were dedicated through a dedication ceremony held inside a Catholic Church witnessed by Minister for Internal Security Peter Tsiamalili Jnr, Member for Moresby North West Lohia Boe Samuel, Police Commissioner David Manning, Deputy Police Commissioner Joanne Clarkson and other delegates.

In his Christmas address Police Commissioner Gari Baki said that the recruitment age gap will be increased from between 18 to 35.

This will be so that aspiring young men and women, as well as matured citizens already employed in the workforce are given the opportunity to join the Constabulary.

He also said that the current recruitment training at the Bomana Police College will be increased from six to eighteen months to allow the Constabulary to churn out intakes who are disciplined, well matured and subservient to the demands of policing.
