Breaking: Urgent update on ongoing security recruitment

The ongoing security services recruitment in Ghana has taken a serious turn, and applicants are being urged to pay close attention to a critical update that could determine their eligibility. Recent information indicates that documentation and screening stages will be strict, leaving little room for errors or incomplete records.

Applicants who applied to the Ghana Police Service, Ghana National Fire Service, Ghana Immigration Service, or Ghana Prisons Service using their BECE or SHS results slip instead of the original certificate are now on notice. Authorities have advised such applicants to urgently visit their respective schools to request and secure their original certificates before the documentation and screening exercise begins.

This development is important because the recruitment process for the security services places strong emphasis on authenticity and verification of academic records. While results slips may have been accepted at the initial application stage, they are not considered sufficient proof during final screening. Original certificates are required to confirm that an applicant genuinely meets the academic qualifications stated during application.

Many applicants, especially recent school leavers, often delay collecting their certificates due to long processing times or the assumption that results slips will be accepted throughout the process. This assumption can now lead to serious consequences. Failure to present the original certificate during screening may result in immediate disqualification, regardless of performance in earlier stages of the recruitment.

Applicants are therefore encouraged to act early and not wait until screening dates are announced. Visiting former schools ahead of time allows room to address delays, administrative issues, or missing records. Schools may also take time to process certificate requests, making early action the safest option.

This update serves as a reminder that attention to detail is just as important as physical fitness and written examinations in security service recruitment. Candidates who prepare thoroughly and comply with all documentation requirements stand a better chance of progressing smoothly through the process.

As the recruitment exercise continues, applicants are advised to stay informed through official channels and take all instructions seriously. Securing the original BECE or SHS certificate now could be the difference between moving forward in the recruitment process and missing out entirely.
