According to him, when he got to the center where he was required to take his physical and documentation examinations, he spent just two hours going through the whole process.

He explained that, unlike the other services, there was no shouting and unnecessary intimidation but the police officers supervising the process spoke in a friendly manner to them.

The applicant stated that they were given chairs to sit down in an airconditioned space while they waited for their turns.

For someone who has gone through all four processes, he found the treatment from the police service quite admirable and humane.

He added that after his process, he and others present were given food as well as drinks to refresh themselves.

The post garnered some reactions from Ghanaians who are full of praise for people.

This year's recruitment exercise is so far the best in terms of transparency. So if you are not called for the next stage (medical) the pain will not be that hard. Because the exams you wrote, if it went well for you or not you know.

Meanwhile, the Greater Accra Regional Commander of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), Alhaji Nuhu Gibril earlier debunked assertions that a protocol list has already been compiled of those to be enlisted.

According to him, the only system at play were the ones outlined by the officials supervising the procedures.

“There is no protocol. The system is there, the requirement is there, the people have applied. They are going through the second stage... the process is going on and that is the process we are following,” he said.
