The Minister for the Interior, Hon. Muntaka Mohammed Mubarak, has announced that the online application portal for recruitment into the Police, Prisons, Fire, and Immigration Services will officially open on Monday, November 17, 2025.
The announcement comes with new safety measures aimed at preventing overcrowding and ensuring a smooth nationwide selection process.
According to the Minister, government has taken lessons from the recent tragedy at the El-Wak Sports Stadium and is determined to avoid a repeat. “To achieve this, multiple screening centres will be set up in every region. Accra alone will have between 10 and 15 centres to accommodate the large number of applicants,” he stated.
Each centre will host no more than 1,000 applicants per day 500 in the morning and another 500 in the afternoon. Applicants have been cautioned to strictly follow their scheduled time. “Anyone who arrives in the morning when scheduled for the afternoon session will be instantly disqualified,” the Minister warned.
To further ease congestion, the screening will be conducted in phases. The Police Service will begin its exercise first, followed by other agencies. No two security institutions will conduct screenings at the same venue simultaneously.
Hon. Mubarak assured the public that these measures are designed to protect lives, maintain order, and ensure fairness throughout the recruitment process.
