How Ghana Police Service recruitment works
Never pay an agent. In August 2026 the police again warned of fraudsters targeting recruits and told applicants not to pay anyone who claims they can facilitate recruitment.
Rely on a formal notice
Police recruitment notices have repeatedly been faked. The 2025/26 intake was announced by the Ministry of the Interior, with applications open from 17 November to 19 December 2025.
Apply on the portal named in the notice
That exercise used the central portal, C-SERP. Vouchers were specific to one agency, so applicants named the Police when buying through the channels on the portal.
Attend document checks and a body inspection
For 2025/26, shortlisted applicants brought original documents to screening, with preliminary medical checks, height and weight measurements and an assessment of bearing.
Complete the later stages
The Ministry listed aptitude tests, in-depth medical examinations, physical fitness tests, background checks and final interviews.
Wait for your batch
The police said in August 2026 that validation of 2025/26 applicants had begun, and would continue in batches until 2028. Medically fit applicants not yet invited remain in the pool.

Common questions
- Is the Ghana Police Service recruiting now?
- We could not find an open application window. Applications for the 2025/26 exercise closed on 19 December 2025, and the police are now working through those applicants in batches until 2028.
- I passed the medical but was not invited to validation. Am I out?
- Not necessarily. The police said in August 2026 that applicants who passed the medical checks but were not invited to validation remain in the pool for later batches.
- Can anyone get me into the police for money?
- No. The police told applicants in August 2026 not to pay anyone who claims to facilitate recruitment. The Ministry of the Interior said anyone found dealing with such people would be disqualified.
- Which documents are checked at validation?
- The police said validation verifies academic certificates, examination results and the other documents submitted in the first stage. Forged documents can lead to disqualification and prosecution.
