Nigerians have been alerted as the Nigeria Police Academy opened an online application portal for its 10th regular course cadet degree programme.
Politics Nigeria reports that this was disclosed in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
According to him, the online registration process would run for six weeks, from July 24 to Sept. 3.
Adejobi said that admission into the academy would allow both male and female Nigerians of good character to serve the country.
He said applicants must be of Nigerian origin by birth and possess National Identity Number (NIN) and 2023 JAMB result, with a score of at least 180.
The police spokesman said that the candidate must have selected Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, as the first choice in the JAMB form.
He said:
“The applicant must not be less than 1.67m tall for males and 1.64m tall for females, with not less than 86cm (34 inches) expanded chest measurement, for males only.
“The applicant must not be married or pregnant at the time of admission and must have a valid email address and phone number.
“Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) statements of result or certificates before 2019 will not be accepted.”
He added that the application method was virtual, urging interested applicants who meet the criteria to visit the academy’s website at https://www.polac.edu.ng and generate Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) code.
He said that the code would be used to make payment of a non-refundable fee of N3,500 through any commercial bank branch in Nigeria.
“Successful payment will open up a form that applicants are required to fill out and upload scanned copies of their SSCE results, birth and state of origin certificates.
“Thereafter, applicants are required to print out completed online forms and guarantor forms to be filled and submitted at the Nigeria Police Academy during the physical screening.
“Automated physical screening exercise will hold at the academy at a date to be communicated in due course,” he said.
The police spokesman said that successful candidates would participate in a computer-based test (CBT), a subsequent automated medical screening exercise and an automated interview/selection exercise for final selection of candidates.
He said that successful candidates would undergo a five-year academic and police training, leading to a Bachelor’s degree award and commissioning into the Nigeria Police Force as Assistant Superintendent of Police II.
