The Police Service Commission and the Nigeria Police Force have fixed April 28–30, 2026 for the written examination into the Police Constable cadre, warning applicants to steer clear of fraudsters.
According to a press release by the Katsina State Police Command, the Katsina centre for the exercise will be the Hassan Usman Katsina Polytechnic.
Authorities stressed that only candidates who passed the earlier physical and credential screening are eligible, directing applicants to print their coloured examination slips from the official portal to confirm their schedules.
Candidates are expected to arrive with their NIN slip, printed invitation slip, writing materials, and strictly adhere to the approved dress code—white shorts, white T-shirt, and white canvas shoes.
Commissioner of Police Ali Umar Fage reiterated that the recruitment process is completely free, warning that any involvement in job racketeering or inducement will attract severe sanctions.
With preparations in top gear, authorities urged candidates to be punctual, orderly, and fully compliant as the nationwide exercise kicks off.
