The Police Service has reportedly dismissed some 3,000 new recruits for failure to meet the basic qualification standards of the service.
The dismissal is at the instance of the new IGP David Asante-Apeatu, StarrFMonline.com sources have said.
The recruitment was made under the former NDC government, and under the leadership of former IGP John Kudalor
Some of the dismissed recruits, according to sources, did not meet the minimum qualification requirements for entry into the service, while others did not have certificates at all.
The IGP is said to have instructed recruits who applied with WASSCE to be re-vetted before admission while those who submitted BECE, NVTI, NABPTEX and City and Guilds certificates are to return home.
The affected recruits include those under training at the National Police Training School (NPTS) in Accra and the Service’s training schools in Kumasi, Ho, Koforidua and Pwalugu in the Upper East Region.
