The police administration has asked personnel who feel cheated by the ongoing 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 are 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 haven 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 to in order to bridge gaps and not for promotions.

I'm not a police officer but these rules and regulations of the police administration is unfair. It's the responsibility of the service to build their capacity and the police administration should be proud of these officers who have spend so much money to educate themselves whiles on regular duty.

This is absolutely ***barred word***. Cephas, all your course mates are DSP's why are you alone superintendent. You are ahead of your mate due to the illegal masters program you undertook at the University of Ghana. It is illegal because you were not given any study leave and today you sit up there and talk to security personnel in that manner. Common sense should tell you that internal recruitment save time, money and eschew corruption. Please stop deceiving the general public about graduate recruitment because nepotism, create, loot and share shall be at it highest peak. You and i knows that they are only going to recruit top police officers and people who are affiliated with politicians and in the end arm robbery and other criminal activities shall be the other of the day. Also talking of study leave, can you tell me the last time police administration ask personnel to submit their names to be short listed for study leave? Cephas, my little advise for you is that remember what happened to the late Mr. Awini, Mr. Eklu and Mr. Kwasi Ofori can also happened to you, no condition is permanent. But, do i blame you? no i do not because if you have an IGP who is more interested in receiving cheap and fake doctorate degree without working hard for it, these are some of the poor results that may come out. God is watching us.
