The police administration has asked personnel who feel cheated by the on going process to recruit degree holders to resign and reapply if they so wish.
There are reports that some police personnel who acquired degrees after joining the service are unhappy with the ongoing recruitment of degree holders. Some personnel of the police service have raised concerns following the announcement of the second recruitment process this year.
Head of Police Public Relations, Superintendent Cephas Arthur, insists, the claims were unjustified saying “these concerns raised by some personnel of the service are not backed by the rules and regulations of the service. “Therefore they cannot be justified in exciting public sympathy and whipping public sympathy against the police service. Every organisation is backed by rules and regulations that govern their activities and you must operate by the rules and regulations.”
Making reference to the police service regulation, 2012, ci 76, he insisted those who claim to have been shortchanged should resign and re-apply. “Most of these officers who are expressing these sentiments are those who acquired their academic qualifications by default. When an officer in the service goes out of his own way or takes a study leave or acquires academic laurels, he is not entitled to promotion just by virtue of having acquired that academic qualification,” he added.
Superintendent Arthur maintained, the police service has four main types of recruitment, from general recruit, skilled persons, degree holders through professional requirement adding that these are done in order to bridge gaps and not for promotions.

The police service should go the way as the military does it. The military have what they called "OTHER RANK COMMISSIONED" If other ranks other than Officers upgrades themselves by acquiring Degree, they are allowed to apply to be commissioned as Officers whilst still in the service. You don't necessarily have to resign. I think they should be given that opportunity.
Hmmm the Police Administration is just being unfair to the Officers who have struggled acquired their own degrees and other qualifications.The best thing to do is to look into the issue and set out policy guidelines to help them too climb up the ranking lather.Is natural every one aspire to to at the ever proud superior coup...Now asking the aggrieved officers to resign and apply is to me absurd.This is because most of these officers are much other than the stipulated required age so what is the logic in that...Those Superior Officers fronting that and quoting regulations etc to back their claim should just put themselves in the shoes of this Junior Officers who by virtue of fate of life were not fortunate to get help obtain degrees to enter the Service to be commissioned to the Superior coup and as such have to follow the queue.Most of this aggrieved officers given the opportunity can perform better than the so called direct intakes.Stream line the process for harmony to prevail in the Service.
